I got this in an email today and wanted to share it with all of you...I hope that you too will pass it along... September 11, 2004, is soon approaching. On that day, please wear red, white & blue to work or school to show your support for those who lost their lives on 9~11~01 and to honor the heroes who worked to save them and the families left behind. At noon your time on September 11, 2004, no matter where you are or what you are doing, stop, put your hand on your heart, and say the Pledge of Allegiance out loud or to yourself and please say a prayer for our nation. In addition, for those of us who drive to work, please drive with your headlights on to give honor and remembrance to those who perished on September 11th. If all of us do this together in every time zone around the world, we will have a powerful chain of thoughts surrounding us. Please keep this going to your friends and family. By September 11, 2004 hopefully enough people will have read this and will join together in unity. |

I'm so numb over that still to this day. Since they put the new terminal in at Metro, We get low flying planes alot now over LP, and when I see them I immediately think of 9/11 I have the FreePress from the day after it happened in a drawer and I take it out and look at it. That image of the man falling head first along the side of the building..I can't even imagine the feelings of those people trapped inside the buildings. Going through puzzlement, to shock to mass hysteria...feeling the building trembling beneath your feet. Being pushed from windows as people try to get air. The blackness, the sounds. My god I can't even keep from crying just thinking about that. The only comfort I get is my belief that one day God is going to take us all out of this world and put us back on it after he's created that new kingdom on earth. This wicked world is sometimes too much to bare. |

My thoughts and prayers go to the families and the soles of the innocent people that lost their lives that tragic day. God please keep them close. Their lives were cut short by a terrorist act that will never ever be forgotten. I remember that day, I wanted so bad to go and reenlist because the hatred for those terrorists just was too overwelming. GOD BLESS THE USA

Over the weekend I watched some of the shows dedicated to those tragic events. One of those ended with a saying something like this, and I thought it was important to share it.... "Those planes were meant to hit each and every one of us in this country. If they could have killed all of us in the US, they would have." Sometimes we tend to distance ourselves, our let time heal those wounds, but we shall never forget! |

Re: We will never forget September 11, 2001
I didn't even realize the date yesterday until I was driving yesterday, had to go to Sam's, and realized what day it was when I looked at the receipt. Then I got an empty hole in my tummy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Re: We will never forget September 11, 2001
I'm not one to cry about anything...but I still get a little choked up about this. It's a wierd combination of so many strong emotions...sadness, anger, fear, and hate. It irks me to no end to hear talking heads (like Michael Moore) try to put thier spin on this tragedy and try to use it to use it as a political weapon. Everyone calls attention to how Bush sat in a classroom reading a book to children for 5 to 7 minutes after he learned of the first plane hitting the WTC. That's such a low blow. As shocked as all of us where...how shocked do you think the President was? He may be a world leader...but he is still a mortal man. It took me several hours to truly understand the nature of what happened that morning. It took the President less than 10 minutes to not only understand it, but to take action. This tragedy should not be used as fodder for political-speak. It should be remembered as a barbaric attack against every citizen of this nation...an attack against our ideals and our way of life. It should be remembered as an event that unified the entire nation...if only for the few days following the attacks. During these brief moments, there were no Democrats or Republicans. There were no Liberals or Conservatives. There were no rich or poor. There were no gays or straights. There were no scandals. All there was 300 million Americans. For once, we all felt the same...we were all united as one. In the wake of the attacks, we have seen a renewed sense of patriotism and loyalty to our nation. American flags began popping up everywhere...on homes, businesses, and vehicles. The attacks that were meant to strike fear into our hearts and divide us had the opposite effect. It woke "the sleeping giant" and united us as one force...a force to be reckoned with. But several months after the attacks...as the dust began to settle...we forget these lessons and begin to buy into the political rhetoric. We too easily forgot how it was possible to disagree politically but still live as one under the American flag. It wasn't long thereafter that 9/11 became a political tool instead of a patriotic lesson. That is what disgusts me. It disgusts me to think it takes a tragedy of that magnitude to align Americans enough to see the bigger picture...and it disgusts me that the lesson was completely lost in the tidal wave of media and political propoganda that ensued shortly after. Terrorism is not dividing us. We are. Let us not ever forget 9/11...and how we all felt when we learned of it. Remember how it taught this we are all Americans. Despite our differences in opinion, we can still stand together as one. We don't have to divide or hate eachother because we have different ideals. The ability to disagree but still be unified is exactly what this nation was built to uphold. Let us never forget that.
