Sept 11 Tribute

As a New Yorker who was deeply affected by the atrocity of 9-11, I\'d like to use this thread to offer my sympathies, condolences, and prayers to the 3,000+ victims, including 300+ firefighters and numerous police, PA police, and EMS workers.

Although I did not know any of the victims, as an American, we\'re all affected.

May the victims rest in peace, may the surviving members of their familes find peace and comfort, and may such an event never occur again.

Post your own thoughts and prayers.

(Could one of the mods make this a Sticky?)

Well, that was fast...

Thanks, Mr Mystery Sticky Mod...

well there is not much to say that will make it better, but just to let them know, and that we are thinking of them too



im sure though if they knew there was no threat it give them more peace of mind than knowing peep are sad

may god have mercy on our souls

I feel pretty much the same as most. I wish all of the families involved in ANY recent terrorist event thes best and my sorrows are with you. I would pray, but Im not exactly religious.

I knew of a friend that was injured in the WTC event, but was fortunately ok. I hope that person is still doing as well as she stated when we last spoke and hope this day is not extremely taxing on her.

For those that have perished, I can only be happy that they no longer have to suffer certain problems they may have had are in the religious place they believed in.

Well there\'s not much more to say then...God Bless the victims, the families, and God Bless America!

Lets all pray that such a tragedy may never happen again to our nation.

My thoughts are with the victims of those attacks, and the heros who saved so many on that day.  I am a New Yorker, and while I\'m not from the city, I am there quite often.  My father has an office there, and works there quite a bit.  Most of my family is there, aunts and uncles, grandparents, cousins, etc.  I did know someone whose life was lost in those attacks.  He was a friend of the family, and my thoughts are especially with him on this day.  I also know others who lost loved ones, and I wish them, and everyone else who had to deal with this tragedy, the best of luck with everything involved, and my deepest sympothies.  

I only hope that no group of people is ever faced with such an event again.

Well, I´m no New Yorker, I´m not even an American...
...but...again... I cried this evening in front of my TV. I saw the 1h45min documentation Film from the two brothers Jules und Gédéon Naudet who filmed the life of a young Firefighter in NY. One of the two brothers filmed the first plane hit by coincidence... you surely saw that moment of the film at the News. After that they filmed the effort of the Firefighters from within the WTC 1 until it collapsed. This film deserve an Oscar ! The two brothers spend all the money made by this film for the kids of the Firefighters lost on 9/11.
...the Two and all Firefighters from "their" Firestation returned save.

EDIT:
1. People from 91 Nations died on 9/11/01... this  involves all of us.
2. It just came over me, that there are more than 3,000 members on this Board...
3,000... ...

On my way into work today I passed by a school that had over a thousand flags lining the road.  It was rather touching.  Something as simple as that can turn your stomach.   Bah, maybe I\'m a big puss.

yeah, the flag factories in china are booming!

It is a tragic day. I know someone who actually fasted today (don\'t ask why) and quite a few people wore American Tshirts. The only thing I don\'t like is how the media keeps pushing how the day was and showing the towers falling everyday (or atleast reminding us) and it just opens up wounds for the victim\'s families. I don\'t think they should keep reminding us. Although, I didn\'t like the media too much before hand.

Our school did a really big thing on it which was pretty cool I guess. I cried in the bathroom afterwards.

I almost cried when our school did a little thing to remember the lost.

Here\'s to the Army and Navy and the battles they have won; here\'s to America\'s colors, the colors that never run.

May the wings of liberty never lose a feather.

That was beautiful Ryu. That almost made me cry (dead close. tears were begining to form in my eyes)

Anyone hear more on the war against Iraq? Supposedly we are finishing off Hussein once and for all. If I was 18, I\'d join the military and help in the war.
