<p>Alan Jackson first performed this song, November 7, 2001, at the CMA Awards, barely two months after the horrific and devastating events on 9/11, .  Ten years later, <a href="http://www.alanjackson.com/news.html?n_id=3377" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he talked about </a>how he came to write the song.</p>
<p>The video I posted last year has been pulled off YouTube,  due to a copyright claim by Country Music Association, Inc..  I found another video, which is not from the CMA Awards.</p>
<p>For me, the song is still just as inspiring today as it was 16 years ago.  How about you?</p>
