9/11 Remembrance

[TIME TO MAKE $$$]

I will always remember what happened that day and the day's to follow. I will remmember the shock the anguish, the fear. One thing that stands out the most is this. It was on the 13th, I had had to be strong as the rock of the household if you will. I was driving home on the 401 highway here in Toronto, and there standing on an overpass was a group of people waving American flags and waving to the cars on the freeway. That was it I lost it. I started honking my horn like a madmen and the tears started to flow. I am actually welling up a little right now just remembering the patriotism and fear and anguish I felt at that time, but the overwelming felling was pride. Pride that I lived in and next to a country where terrorism is almost unheard of, where we can walk the streets and know that we are free. Pride that I hadn't felt since about the age of 9.

I hope for my sake, that I never forget that pride again. And if I do I hope it doesn't take a tregedy of this nature to remind me that I am free and no one can take that away from me.


GOD BLESS AMERICA and CANADA

Also,

Please remember ALL those who have died from war and such traggic unnecessary tragedies, from WWI to 9/11, it is a shame that war is a part of life.

Lives are being wasted, I don't care what race one is, the point here is that we are ALL humans, brothers and sisters.....

Please take a moment to remember ALL these people....

Thank You

a shocker that really hit me was a entire wall of a hospital in Greenwich Village I saw last Nov plastered from toe to head, 100 feet long, of wanted posters for 9/11 missing.

rescuers said to use most recent photos you had. and with cheap color printing, this meant you view hundreds upon hundreds of these folks laughing on the beach, at Bar Mitzvahs, weddings, parties---the places you most likely had your last photo taken. most all in vivid life-like color.


then you read of scars, tattoos, identifying marks.

all the while viewing this you know they won't be found and are a dead to the last one.
