September 11th - In remembrance

[Cz]

September 11th 2001 the world was shocked by possibly the most terrifying terrorist acts ever. While people die every day, in wars and catastrophies, and to illness and hunger, the scenario of that day struck deep into the mindset of the whole world, perhaps mostly due to the way it was committed.

We would like to have this thread in remembrance of those who died in the terrorist acts that day. Please keep it free of any enmity. Let those who will post in peace do so. Let this be a day of compassion, not of hate and strife.

To all those who suffered and helped during the past year, in the netiquette term;

In the days following September 11, 2001, I created This Site in rememberance, and to give everybody hope. It portrays people from many different countries showing their condolences for those involved in the tragedy.

I can be the first to tell you that, as an American, seeing those pictures for the first time (and the second, and the third) literally brought me to tears, and it made me feel so much love and support from our many friends around the world.

Thank you to everyone for helping many people get through the hard times following Sept. 11. I received over 30,000 emails in the first month after creating the site of many people all over the world sharing their stories and appreciation with the support shown around the world.

Thank you.

/me lights a candle and puts it next to Cz's

Although it's also my birthday today and so I will have my mind on that, part of me will remember (and probably will for the rest of my life) the sadness of this time last year and all the people who perished in the terrible atrocities.

I give my condolences to the families and friends of all those who died, on the first anniversary of their tragic deaths.

<<ooc: I personally worked 3 blocks from WTC and was there on that day. Since 9/11, I am a different person. I saw things that no human should ever see! I lost friends and aquaintences and NYC lost a bit of itself as well. So please, light a candle and say a prayer for us in NY. We all need it about now. Thanks>>

/me lights a candle and will let it burn through the day in memory

I remember sitting horrified by what I watched on the tv screen. I won't even bother saying I can imagine what it was like to witness it in person...because there is no way I can.

My prayers are with all of those who lost loved ones, friends and family on that day. My prayers are for not only for the americans but for everyone in the world. Every one of us is touched somehow by that day....weather it be with sadness or fear. It is a day no one wants to remember. It's a day we will never forget.

Remember with love.

And with that I leave you with these lyrics to the song that I know helped many people I know, who were in New York on that day, find the strength to carry on

And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
Walk on Walk on
What you got, they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it
Walk on Walk on
Stay safe tonight

And I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
You can only take so much

Walk On

- Walk On by U2

I was driving to Atlanta the morning this happened and my wife was working in Washington DC. When I saw that it was real, and not some hoax, I tried to call her at work. No one answered. Thankfully they had evacuated and were safe. For the next 24 hours I was glued to the televison trying to understand and comprehend what had happened.

I drove back through Washington a few days later and saw the Pentagon. I continued on a day later and drove by NYC to see the smoke and the lights from where the trade towers were. To this day and forever those images will be burned in my mind.

To all those who lost a loved one or were personally touched by the events of one year ago, my heart goes out to you.

To all the hero's of the day, my thanks goto you.

As the tears well up in my eyes as I write this, all I can say is that America will never forget. We will never lose heart. We will stand united. We will be viligent. Those who thought we would cower were sadly mistaken.

I'm pretty certain that everyone can recall, with crystal clarity, precisely what he or she was doing at the moment they first heard about the tragedy...

As an American, I'm sorry to say that our public has a very short memory. For the last 20 years, our armed forces and our overseas civilian workers have been targets for terrorist attacks, worldwide . It makes headline news for about 3 weeks, then everyone forgets. I suppose it's only human. Even natural disasters fade from the memories of all except those who survive them.

If September 11th taught us nothing else, it showed us an enemy who is willing to bring the conflict to us, and rub our faces in it.

I can't begin to express the sadness, the horror, the fury I feel, that there are people out there capable of such atrocities.

So, I say to you, please don't forget. In 3 more weeks, the media will likely have something more entertaining to talk about. Half the politicians will be squawking about what the other half of the politicians are (or aren't) doing. States will be running gubernatorial elections, and everybody will be talking about political agendas.

September 11th isn't about an agenda, it's about people working together, cooperating, and being vigilant. It's about caring, and compassion, and love. It's about continuing to exercise the utmost caution as we go about our daily affairs. Most of all, it's about continuing on with our lives, because if we don't, that unseen enemy has won.

To the people around the world who expressed their sympathy, their compassion, their sorrow, and their outrage at 9/11, thank you.

Please please please, don't ever forget! We cannot forget this, because if we cease in our vigilance, it will happen again. I have no doubts of this. Don't forget the many innocent people who died that day, the courage of the passengers on board those planes, the brave rescue workers who gave up their lives. Don't forget our armed forces, who are out there in sand and trenches, the sea, the jungles, all working to bring a measure of safety to the world. Don't forget all those selfless volunteers, who worked tirelessly to try and bring survivors out of the wreckage. Don't forget our world leaders, who are, after all, only human as well. The decisions they make are neither easy, nor lightly made.

If we forget all that has gone before, then those people who died on September 11th died for nothing.

/me lights a candle for all the world to see

As a former soldier I learned a lot about terrorism in the world. I even tought other soldiers about it. But still there's nothing in the world that can prepare You for something of the magnitude that happened September 11th 2001...

My prayers go to all the people who need it, and a big salute to all the heroes of that tragic event.

It has been a year of tragedy, sorrow and loss. But also compassion, togetherness and love. From all things horrible there will always shine a little light of hope. Let us keep that hope strong and firm, and not let hate bring us down.

May the souls lost on September 11th find peace, and may the ones who are left behind find comfort in eachother.

To all the 83 countries who lost a countryman/woman in the WTC attack, and to the city of New York, I give my condolences. We will remember.
