Due to many ongoing events, revised updates are also included after the fact! These starting in March of 2011. Update: On May 2, 2011 Osama bin Laden was finally hunted down and executed half way around the world by United States Navy Seal team 6 thus keeping America's Promise to deliver due Justice for his cowardly acts of taking so many innocent American Lives! November 3, 2014 Thirteen years after the Twin Towers were destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001, the new centerpiece skyscraper at ONE WORLD TRADE CENTER opens this very morning. The path leading up to this day was anything but easy or clear. Battles began almost as soon as the debris was hauled away in 2002 and, since then, there have been fights over cost, design, security and even the structure’s name. But still, this new tower is a technological marvel sitting on piles driven more than 100 feet below the Hudson River – rose steadily out of the northwest corner of the WTC site.

I WAS TOLD THAT THIS VERY POEM, NOW HANGS ON A MANHATTAN WALL RIGHT UNDER ITS DESEASED CAPTAINS PARTLY CRUSHED AND CHARRED HELMET. BY FAR THE MOST HONORED I WILL EVER FEEL IN MY MANY WRITINGS.
