(2003)"Have You Forgotten?" is a patriotic country
song byDarryl Worley . It attempts to invoke the memory of theSeptember 11th terrorist attacks as motivation for supporting the continuingwar on terror . It was #1 on Billboard'sHot Country Songs for seven weeks, reaching #1 after five weeks on the charts, and peaking at number 22 on theBillboard Hot 100 . The song was also the cover track for the "Have You Forgotten?" album.Regarding his motivation for writing the song, Worley says, "I didn't really care if I made a bunch of money from it. I did want the people that it was written for—the men and women that died in the tragedy of 9/11 and their families, the men and women that wore the uniforms here in our country and then last but not least, our military troops that were in Afganistan takin' care of business—I just wanted to do something to honor them."Christian Bordal, [http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4247994 "Patriotic Country Music and a Divided U.S."] , "
