Remember this day in your own way
http://www.exhibit13.com/
At 7:59am Eastern time on September 11, 2001, exactly one year ago to the minute, Flight 11 took off from Boston's Logan International. 47 minutes later, it hit the north tower of the World Trade Center.
Remember that day in your own way. Remember the thousands that lost their lives, the hundreds that risked their lives trying to rescue people in the towers, and the families of all the victims. Every generation has a day in their lives they will never forget. I pray to God that I never have one so memorable that it overshadows September 11, 2001.

"This is the day we became Americans", said a major Swedish newspaper the after the unbelievable. I sat on a flight from JFK bound to Copenhagen when it happened. My prayers today are for my family and friends, but foremost for all those who lost loved ones.

Try to imagine the courage that it must have taken for all the fire and rescue prople. After looking up and seeing the horror above them I think most of the rescue people must have known they would not walk back down those stairs.......Yet they did it anyway
I think hero is much too small of a word to describe them.

In the few days after the attack, people all around the world were asked to make sacrifices, and all said they would, of course reality set in and the grumbling soon began.
In the UK, when asked in the street everyone promised wholehearted support for the US, then people started complaining that Tony Blair was spending too much time abroad trying to help fight the war on terror when we had transport problems at home!!!
People!! attention spans of a gnat!
By the way it's my birthday today ..nice eh

I find the stories of the families of the victims of the downed planes, the fallen towers, and the brave rescue workers, still unbearable.

Maybe we should take this day for teariness only and not for politics.
My thoughts are with everyone (victims and families) hit by this tragedy.
I arrived in Frankfurt coming from Washington Dulles just an hour before it happened and I thank God that he took care about me.
Let the world stand united as we stand 365 days before!

For those of you who know me, it is clear that I don't allways agree with some 'American' views on life or world views in general.
But on a day like this there shouldn't be room for politics and therefore I also would like to pay my respects for those innocent people that died / suffered on 11/9. I would like to stretch it even further, this day would be a good day to remember anyone ever who has suffered unnecessary.
Greetings,
Ivan

Sept 11
In August of 2001 I left my Job in the Trade Center to pursue the MyMobileStuff portal full time. Please take time today to remember those lost.

I was in Toronto this time last year on holiday and was thinking of touring NYC but did not get a chance as I blew my budget on a new Digital Camera.
As we all know this did not effect the US alone, but everyone worldwide.
thoughts go out to all
