God bless America, Land that I love. Stand beside her, and guide her Through the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam God bless America, My home sweet home God bless America, My home sweet home.
O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet Whose stern impassion'd stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law.
O beautiful for heroes prov'd In liberating strife, Who more than self their country lov'd, And mercy more than life. America! America! May God thy gold refine Till all success be nobleness, And ev'ry gain divine.
O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears. America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea.
Today, let's just remember those we lost 11 years ago and those we lost in our service since then. Tomorrow we can go back to bashing each other over nonsense.
Pursuant to what 10:04 AM said, with due respect, shouldn't a blog like this pay tribute to the very dedicated lawyers who constitute building blocks for the RJG building? I was saddened to see Neil's name in the same post as such a trivial matter as sports.
Many of us our "lifers", we will be practicing law until the day we drop (some may retire to other things but most of us love and are committed to what we do and it would be impossible to stop).
The inevitability of being in the same field for so long is that eventually, everyone falls through the wayside. Each year some of our colleagues will fall.
Use your blog to make us more than replaceable cogs and pay tribute to Neil Nameroff or any other regularly practicing attorney that we lose. I'm sure it makes those who cared for Neil feel good and it informs the younger lawyers of the dedicated veterans that laid teh groundwork for them.
any comments on the loss of Neil Nameroff?

We shall never forget.
A special prayer today to the families of all those that lost a loved one in NYC, at the Pentagon, and in PA.
God bless our troops that have defended our country over these past eleven years.

God bless America,
ReplyDeleteLand that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home
God bless America, My home sweet home.
O beautiful for spacious skies,
ReplyDeleteFor amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassion'd stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness
America! America!
God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.
O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country lov'd,
And mercy more than life.
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine.
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
