REMEMBERING SEPTEMBER 11TH
BY DAVID CEDEŅO
On
September 11, 2001, the United States and New
York City were attacked by Terrorists. The
events of that dark day have had a profound
effect on all Americans and the civilized world.
The very values that so many Americans have died
for-, liberty, freedom of religion, democracy,
justice, the pursuit of happiness, are
threatened by this vile and inhuman act.
America, who's one overwhelming strength is
found in its diversity and tolerance is now in a
struggle with those who have no tolerance, no
loyalty, and an indifference to human life. The
response by Americans and the world has been one
of support, solidarity and strength.
Many
have paid tribute to our fallen heroes and
fellow citizens by acts of kindness, or charity
' some have attended funerals, some have donated
time; some have found a deeper and more
sustained path to all things alive and vital and
near to us. Abraham Lincoln once prevailed upon
his fellow man after witnessing the horror and
carnage of The Civil War "to follow the better
angels of our nature". Perhaps, we as a people
and a world community are discovering the very
meaning of those words. Perhaps we can resolve
ourselves as a nation and a world body to
rekindle and awaken those "better-angels".
"highly
resolve that these dead shall not have died in
vain- that this nation, under God, shall have
a new birth of freedom; and that government of
the people, by the people, for the people,
shall not perish from the Earth".
Abraham Lincoln
America
United, is the work of Latin recording artist,
David Cedeņo. A very personal and moving tribute
to the events and people of that tragic day. It
offers up hope as a beacon to our nation and
those who will stand with her in these dark days
and the task that now await. Mr. David Cedeņo
would like to record, perform and offer the
proceeds to the many victims of the World Trade
Center. We ask your help in supporting and
listening to this message of hope and love for
our great nation, America.
David
Cedeņo was emotionally hurt and taken by the
tragedy of September 11,2001. Due to this
tragedy he has confined himself to writing,
singing and recording this song for his country.
He
was also the last band to perform at the World
Trade Centers Summer Festival on August 31, 2001
(Just 11 days before the tragedy). He was a
regular performer at Windows on the World, a
world famous dance club on the 107th floor in
building 1 of the Twin Towers of the World Trade
Center in New York City.
