The events in #Boston of this past week have been widely reported as reflections of terrorist activities of 2001 in NYC, DC and Pennsylvania. Certainly our collective attention was captured in similar wonder from the time the suspects' photos were released to when Suspect number two was taken. Since we and every other employee working in a high rise building across our metropolitan center (not one of those mentioned above) were evacuated that clear Fall day and all flights were grounded in US air space, we humbly beg to differ on any further similarities. While we considered questioning the validity of this statement's plea (might God choose not to bless 'Merica out of some justifiable reason?), we prefer instead to poke a little fun at a spirited, albeit feeble, attempt by a menagerie of US senators crooning out this ribbon's namesake.
Undoubtedly, what was concocted as a great idea just didn't keep the same gumption when the cameras zoomed in. Though certain among us can't ever get enough schmaltz, we beg that such a rendering never be repeated.
