~An Ode to America ~ Why are Americans so united? They would not resemble one
another even if you painted them all one color! They speak all the languages of the
world and form an astonishing mixture of civilizations and religious beliefs. On 9/ll,
the American tragedy turned three hundred million people into a hand put on the
heart. Nobody rushed to accuse the White House, the Army, or the Secret Service
that they are only a bunch of losers. Nobody rushed to empty their bank accounts.
Nobody rushed out onto the streets nearby to gape about. Instead the Americans
volunteered to donate blood and to give a helping hand. After the first moments of
panic , they raised their flag over the smoking ruins, putting on T-shirts, caps and
ties in the colors of the national flag. They placed flags on buildings and cars as if in
every place and on every car a government official or the president was passing. On
every occasion, they started singing: 'God Bless America !' I watched the live
broadcast and rerun after rerun for hours listening to the story of the guy who went
down one hundred floors with a woman in a wheelchair without knowing who she
was, or of the Californian hockey player, who gave his life fighting with the terrorists
and prevented the plane from hitting a target that could have killed other hundreds
or thousands of people. How on earth were they able to respond united as one
human being? Imperceptibly, with every word and musical note, the memory of
some turned into a modern myth of tragic heroes.. And with every phone call,
millions and millions of dollars were put into collection aimed at rewarding not a
man or a family, but a spirit, which no money can buy. What on earth can unites the
Americans in such way? Their land? Their history? Their economic Power? Money?
I tried for hours to find an answer, humming songs and murmuring phrases with the
risk of sounding commonplace, I thought things over, I reached but only one
conclusion... Only freedom can work such miracles. Cornel Nistorescu..............
(This deserves to be passed around the Internet forever.) It took a person on the
outside - looking in - to see what we take for granted ! GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!
....................... This came to me 9th hand, please make it 10. Thank you.
