Many of our readers have written to us asking where they can buy various things. Mostly, they ask about music and books, although some ask about flags, t-shirts, posters, and we even had someone ask if we knew where she could get patriotic garden tools. While we don't plan to link to patriotic garden tools -- mostly because I haven't been able to find any -- we will be putting up some of the music and books as well as other merchandise we think might interest you all.

Darryl Worley
In December 2002, country singer Darryl Worley traveled with the USO to Afghanistan, arriving home on Christmas Eve. Two days later, he collaborated with songwriter Wynn Varble on "Have You Forgotten?," a 9/11-themed call to battle that emotionally evokes the falling Twin Towers, the ruined Pentagon, and the heroes in a Pennsylvania field, even as it takes a giant leap in equating Bin Laden with Saddam Hussein. The single became an instant hit on radio, which meant Worley needed an album to go with it.
