An Ode to America written by Cornel Nistorescu
Excerpt from a Romanian Newspaper published after the 9/11 attack on America.
We rarely get a chance to see another country’s editorial about the USA.
Read this excerpt from a Romanian Newspaper. The article was written by Mr. Cornel Nistorescu and published under the title ‘C’ntarea Americii, meaning ‘Ode To America ‘) in the Romanian newspaper Evenimentulzilei ‘The Daily Event’ or ‘News of the Day’;
~An Ode to America ~
Why are Americans so united? They would not resemble one another even if you painted them all one color! They speak all the languages of the world and form an astonishing mixture of civilizations and religious beliefs. Still, the American tragedy turned three hundred million people into a hand put on the heart.
Nobody rushed to accuse the White House, the Army, or the Secret Service that they are only a bunch of losers.
Nobody rushed to empty their bank accounts.
Nobody rushed out onto the streets nearby to gape about.
Instead the Americans volunteered to donate blood and to give a helping hand.
After the first moments of panic, they raised their flag over the smoking ruins, putting on T-shirts, caps and ties in the colors of the national flag. They placed flags on buildings and cars as if in every place and on every car a government official or the president was passing. On every occasion, they started singing: ‘God Bless America!’
I watched the live broadcast and rerun after rerun for hours listening to the story of the guy who went down one hundred floors with a woman in a wheelchair without knowing who she was, or of the Californian hockey player, who gave his life fighting with the terrorists and prevented the plane from hitting a target that could have killed other hundreds or thousands of people.
How on earth were they able to respond united as one human being? Imperceptibly, with every word and musical note, the memory of some turned into a modern myth of tragic heroes. And with every phone call, millions and millions of dollars were put into a collection aimed at rewarding not a man or a family, but a spirit, which no money can buy.
What on earth can unite the Americans in such a way? Their land? Their history? Their economic Power? Money?
I tried for hours to find an answer, humming songs and murmuring phrases with the risk of sounding commonplace, I thought things over, I reached but only one conclusion… Only freedom can work such miracles.

Ever had a beer with a priest?
This past week I was on a business trip to Montgomery, Alabama when my friend Tim and I went to a bar and grill called Tower Taproom. For the entrepreneurs and innovators out there you would love what they have done and there is some great opportunity in this al a cart setup. They had 46 taps, 42 of which were different types of beer, 4 were wines and 2 were waters and you paid by the ounce. Check out pour my beer to learn more.
I honestly cannot stand the taste of beer or coffee for that fact. They are both acquired tastes and apparently I’m not very acquired. Anyways I thought with 42 beers on tap there must be one that I might like the taste of and you can get as much or as little as you like. So I found a very fruity one that tasted like apple cider and I sat down and chatted with Tim while we waited on our food.

In late July 2019 my friend, and brother in Christ, went missing while hiking in the Colorado mountains. His name was Lt Col Daniel Wallick. After a few days of searching his body was found on Challenger mountain and the Custer County Search and Rescue risked their lives to bring him down from the mountain back to his family.

Do you know anyone famous?
So I met this guy a few years back, but I honestly can’t remember his name. I recently saw him on the cover of a magazine and was later told by a family member that he is now very famous and stars in one the top television shows, which I also don’t know the name of. You might be thinking, “Tony how do you not know who this guy is? I can’t believe you met him! I wish I could have met him!” [Read more…] about Do you know anyone famous?
