911 on 9-11 was written by Del "Abe" Jones and is used with permission. To give the author your comments, please contact him at: abeabe@worldnet.att.net. Abe Jones is a patriot in the truest sense of the word. Born in Indio, California, in 1941 he served his country in the United States Air Force from 1958 until 1961. When the fighting in Viet Nam worsened during the mid-60's, Jones tried to re-enlist but was rejected because he was father to four children. After a disasterous 3 story fall in 1974 while working on a building, Abe now works on a computer, doing CAD HVAC design work. He has three books of poetry published, and donated the profits from "The World, War, Freedom, and More" to the Guardsmen who fought in Desert Storm. He has had additional poems published in newspapers in both Orlando, Florida and Nashville, Tennessee. He was asked to recite "The Wall," a poem he wrote about the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington D.C., during the dedication of the Vietnam Memorial in Orlando, Florida. Mr. Jones has just recently moved to Nashville, with hopes of becoming a songwriter. Also by Mr. Jones on this site: |
