Alan said he held the pen, God wrote the words.

Sept. 12, 2001: The country is more united than we've ever been
Sept, 25, 2024: More divided than we've ever been.

Alan Jackson released this song live on an award show following 9/11 and you could hear a pin drop. So moving.

I remember pulling one of those heroes out of all that rubble. We all had tears coming down our faces as we took him out of all that rubble with complete reverence. But every single person that brought that firefighter out of that rubble, Firefighter Kevin O'Roarke, Station 2, Brooklyn, had tears streaming down their faces. 3000 people died that day, but you don't ever hear about the hundreds that have passed away since then. All due to Cancers related to Asbestos. I know this because I lost my husband to Asbestos Cancer. Because he was there as well. With 4 Search and Rescue dogs that were also Cadaver trained. We were at Ground Zero for 3 weeks. I have not been back to New York since. I know myself. I would not see that beautiful memorial that is there now, I would still see all of that destruction and have all the sensory smells come back in an instant. I don't ever regret being there helping. And I'd do it again, if it happened. But the losses are still going on. THAT HAS TO BE PUT OUT THERE!! Because a lot of people don't know that fact at all !! Your friend, the now Retired Paramedic in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

Now see, you said you remember how our country came together that day. No one cared about politics that day, who was on what side, or gender identity, or anything. People just held each other, prayed for everyone, loved everyone…..it shouldn’t take something like this to happen for everyone to come together. We should always be that way towards everyone

[thereseborneman]

I cry every time I hear this song
I remember exactly where I was

[shaneseidenstricker]

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

[lisazaccardimeunier]

I love that we can still talk about God in country music.

[brennandye]

You need to listen to the version with the people's phone calls to their loved ones as they were dying. If you can make it through that one without crying you deserve a medal.

[Mko]

That day every single American CAME TOGETHER forward to today it is a stark reminder what has happened to our country since then. This is a beautiful song. And the greatest is LOVE

[Turnermama]

This came from Alan's heart ❤️ We all remember where we were.

[shelbykarst]

What’s crazy is he wasn’t originally going to release the song because it was so personal for him. But a friend or a music agent heard it and convinced him to sing it at a reward show shortly after 9/11 because it was a message everyone needed to hear at that time.

[jasonstacy]

He received a standing ovation at the Grammy's when he performed this there in 02.

[debbers]

I was watching Regis and Kelly when it happened, Regis tried to comfort everyone! They stayed with the news the entire show so I watched with them!
I use canning jars for drinking glasses too, awesome!
Your reaction was spot on!

[Erinn]

I love this song. I can't listen to it without shedding tears. I'll weep with you brother ❤

[joe]

Alan Jackson wrote this just days after sep 11

[KarenCatMom]

I bet I have heard this song 50+ times. It still makes me tear up. You speak truth. He was reminding us of what really matters in the grand scheme of life. I really enjoy Alan Jackson's music and the this is one of the best.

[sddRd]

By far my favorite Alan Jackson song ❤❤❤❤

I was having my morning coffee, turned on the computer. Saw a message OMG NEW YORK. Rather than reading the message I turned on the TV a second before the 2nd plane hit. I didn't realize at first it was live. My sister was a flight attendant and for a while no one knew what airlines were involved. I called my mom because she always knew her schedule, and she picked up the phone hysterical. She was just getting ready to call the airlines because my sister was in New York. The horror and fear we felt was agonizing but ultimately thank God we found out she was not involved. I felt immense relief, but also immense sorrow for the victims and their loved ones. A day none of us will forget.

I remember so clearly when he performed this on the CMA awards. Sobbing. Still brings the same feelings back.
