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.
