September 11, 2002 - A Way To Honor Our Nation Together

September 11, 2002 is soon approaching. On that day, please wear red, white and 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, 2002, no matter where in the states or world 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 say a prayer for our nation.

If all of us do this together in every time zone around the world, we will have a powerful chain of thoughts surrounding us.

By September 11, 2002 hopefully enough people will have read this and will join together in unity.

God Bless the U.S.A.

Another Email going around:

There is a big movement to put your headlights on all day on 9/11 to honor the memories of our lost loved ones. Please get involved.




PS: I think you got to be careful with this one.... U can run your battery down.

Peace, Love and Light,
Jeri

September 11, 2001 was a tremendous loss and a horrific, shocking day for all of us. I will never forget that day. I was up early since I was going to go to San Francisco that day. My sister called and told me to watch the news.
It was a shock and it hurted me deeply to see so many people suffering.

I know that since that day, many families have to go through changes in their life and without that someone they love. Many families lost their loved ones on that day. Pain from losing a love one does not go away easily, time heals, memory fades but the love, the longing and the pain will always be with them.

My life is so different now. When I think back at the problems I thought they were so big before, alas, they are now so miniscule.

After September 11, I was sad for a long time but I am feeling better now and hope that we all can go through the first anniversary together as a nation and feeling better.

Since September 11, I am more afraid and I think I was with panic attack and anxiety for many months. I have decided that I am not going to let the fear scare me into not doing things as usual.

I feel closer to my family and I feel blessed to have them.

‘Oh My God!’
Live at the Twin Towers as the Troubled World Burst Upon America

By Don Dahler

N E W Y O R K, Sept. 8, 2002 — Before Sept. 11, the world and its horrors were out there.

But then came that Tuesday morning, when a handful of warped and resentful men managed to extinguish thousands of innocent lives and seize the hearts of millions of blameless others with fear and confusion, including mine.

I wasn't working that morning. I was at home, in Tribeca, with windows that looked out towards the World Trade Center, just to the south on the island of Manhattan. Because of that, I was an eyewitness to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, and then reported on them and the proceeding events for ABCNEWS.

My then-girlfriend, Katie, was already up and quietly clacking away at her computer, and I had roused from bed later than usual and poured myself a cup of coffee. I was headed to the couch with a mug when the sound split the air.

It was like a giant ripping of fabric, a shriek and deep roar all at once, followed by a huge explosion. It was a sound I'd heard before, but only in countries at war. Never in the United States and certainly not in lower Manhattan.

"That's a missile," I said to Katie, not believing it as I said it, but not thinking it could be anything else.

"No, that's just a truck or something," she replied, but her eyes showed uncertainty. By that time, I'd made it to the window and looked up just as a massive fireball billowed out of the side of one of the towers.

"They've hit the World Trade Center," I said. I had no idea who "they" were, but even then in an unexplainable way it seemed to me like an act of aggression not an accident, and I was still pretty sure it was some kind of missile that opened a gigantic gaping hole in one of the world's largest buildings. Looking up into the maw I could see 20-foot flames gouting out. The interior of the hole was dark, but through the smoke and flames some of the building's enormous steel support beams were visible.

It Wasn't a Small Plane

I spun around and began searching for the phone. The clock next to the bed said 8:49.

Our television stands to the right of the windows, and it seemed like mere seconds before Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America were saying something about reports of a small plane hitting the World Trade Center. I finally located the phone's handset and dialed the GMA control room, a number I knew by heart through years of early morning conversations with the show's producers while on assignment for them in one place or another.

Melissa Thomas, a bright and extremely competent young producer answered. I told her I was just a few blocks away from the WTC and was looking right at the burning building. Melissa shouted into the room, "Phoner! Dahler's on line six at the scene!" and in an instant my voice was patched in live to the studio, where I tried to put into words what I was seeing.

I was describing the flames and whether there were any rescue attempts visible when the second plane hit, and for days later radio news programs would replay my astonished reaction, "Oh my God!" as if it were the "Oh, the humanity" of our times.

When World Trade Center 2 began to collapse, and floor after floor folded in on themselves with the exponential power of a small nuclear weapon, I had to explain to a disbelieving Peter Jennings on nationwide TV that, no, it wasn't just part of the building that had fallen, it was the entire structure. I remember the odd feeling of hearing the thuds of each floor pulverizing the next come to me through the ground first, and then the air, like the coming of a terrible train you feel first through the tracks.

I'm told I was the first on the air that morning, explaining to a stunned nation that their eyes weren't lying to them. I wouldn't know; I didn't see television, or listen to a radio, or even read a newspaper for a week. I stayed downtown, afraid to leave the area because the NYPD wasn't letting people come back in, even credentialed press whose passes state clearly they are to be allowed past police and fire lines wherever formed. I took naps in my apartment that was without power or phones, and worked a story that became all-consuming.

The Faces of Heroes

The voices, and the faces behind them, are what stand out in my memory.

We will NEVER forget this tragic day of September 11, 2001. It changed the whole world - we should hope to have to better world after all the terrorists are gone.

I saw a poll on AOL that asked their members to vote, here's the result as of today:

Do you feel the media coverage of Sept. 11 is too painful to watch?

-- It's painful, but I'll watch 60862 63%
-- Yes, it's too much 34728 36%

Total votes: 95590
NOTE: Poll results are not scientific and reflect the opinions of only those users who chose to participate.

I was born & raised in New York and it hurted me so much to see fellow New Yorkers suffered. My heart and my prayers are with all those who lost their lives and their families.
That day, on September 11, 2001, it was a day we saw the worst in human-kind and we also saw the best there was. It is because of the best and all the ordinary heroes, that I have high hope for the future of my children and grandchildren in this great country. I am proud to be a New Yorker & proud to be an American.

I was still sleeping, at home (here in California.) A friend called, he told me that an airplane hit one of the WTC, and to turn on the TV to see it live on the news. I turned on ABC, CNN and FoxNews and I was glued to the tube all day long. My heart was filled with pain to see all the visual images and the actual audio of an event that I will never forget in my life time.

God Bless all the victims and their loved ones. God Bless all the heros and God Bless America.

Bless you~

I was in the 12th grade and in a drama class when my teacher said class was cancelled because of a plane crash in New York. I just thought it was some plane that fell out of the sky like I have heard in other news reports long ago. As a friend and I were walking into our next class we noticed everyone was pushed into rooms with TVs on. I went to see what it was and saw the second plane slam into the second tower. I ran out of the room and immediately started calling my parents to see if they knew about this.

I was in my sixth grade class room. I was sitting in the very back row by the radio and the song that was on the radio was "What if God was One Of US." I remember my Math teacher coming and and taking my homeroom teacher outside. It felt like forever until she came back. She walked into the class room crying and told everyone to put away our books. She then asked if any of our parents worked in the World Trade Towers. Luckly, no one's parents worked there. Then she told us that a plane had crashed into one of the towers. We turned on the t.v and saw the second plane come in and crash. We then found out that a plane had crashed into the Penetogon and into a feild in Pennsylvania. It then dawned on me that my Dad was at the air port right now waiting to get on a plane to North Carolina. I think I threw up five times in two minutes. I had no way of getting in touch with him because the cell tower had been destroyed. Finally, my teacher asked my to go wait outside and I saw my Dad walk in the door. i don't think I have ever cried that hard. I thank God that noone I knew was hurt and I mpray to God every night for those who lost a mother, father, sister, brother or family membor. Please, to all those who lost someone at9/11 you are in my prayers always and forever.

I would like to post this message from one of the wife of the victim of September 11, 2001.
This is to pay a tribute to all.

Burnett: 'Do something' for America

Wife of Flight 93 passenger says a living memorial would honor Sept. 11 victims the best


By FROM WIRE REPORTS

WASHINGTON -- The following are remarks by former San Ramon resident Deena Burnett as prepared for delivery at the Republican National Convention Monday night:
My name is Deena Burnett.

My husband, Tom, was a passenger on United Flight 93.

Tom called me four times from the plane. I told him what happened in New York and Washington.

He told me that he and the other passengers were putting together a plan. On his fourth and final call, I asked him what I could do. He said, "Pray, Deena. Just pray." He then said, "Don't worry. We're going to do something."

We now know that what they did prevented that plane from hitting its intended target. What they did was the personification of courage and a testament to the American spirit.

We also know about the deeds of the businessmen who carried their injured co-workers down the stairwells of the World Trade Center.

The firefighters who ran into the doomed building. And the policemen who put themselves in harm's way to evacuate the area.

"Do something."

Those words resonate in my heart and soul. Those words obviously directed the actions of all the heroes of 9/11, and they should direct ours.

Whether it is serving in the military, doing volunteer work, or simply helping your neighbor, it is our responsibility as citizens of the greatest nation in the world to "do something."

The heroes of 9/11 weren't created that day.

Their actions were the result of virtues practiced over a lifetime. The most fitting memorial we could build would not consist of marble, glass, or fountains.

It would be a living memorial -- carved in our hearts and actions by faith, courage and integrity.

On September 11,2001 i was in school (Skyview Community School in Oakdale,Minnesota)watch in fear at the tv in the class room and all i can think about was if my Aunt Cindy had made it out ok. A day later i found out that she had not made it. That day i went on my computer and made a Micrsoft Power Point slide show about here. So now every year on Sept. 11th i go straight on my computer and make a new power point that is 60 pages long. I know that i am sad for loosing someone who was close and dear to me, but i always remeber that she is in a better place and is always looking down on me just like i am looking up at her. So no matter how someone was taken from you, just remeber that they are in a better place. No matter how much pain you are feeling also remeber that they no longer feel any pain.

In Remembrance Of 9/11/01

A date that will go down in history.
Why, why, why, is the mystery.
Why, over 2,000 people, had to die, because of some psychopath's lie.
A day we will never forget, nor the families they beget.
A day we stood still; through our hearts, ran a chill.
We will remember forever, even as we endeaver, to make life better.
We will remember forever and ever!

Always,
Lindsey

I am sorry for your lost and my heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

May we all remember and resolve!

All gave some, but some gave all!!!

Heroes are those who did what was needed, when it was needed because action was needed. Look for the opportunities to DO and please share this with as many as you can.

i was in 5th grade. i was doing spelling on page 46. mrs. mirsky, our nurse, came in to tell mrs. ruff, our teacher, that the towers had been hit as well as the pentagon and a plane in PA. she burst into tears because her husband worked on the side of the pentagon that was hit. he was ok though. when she told my class what had happened i began to cry (after she left the room). everyone told me to shut up it didnt do anything to us kids. but then my friend meghan came over and asked what was wrong and i told her that my dad was in NY. we then went to tell mrs.ruff and she asked what part of NY my dad was in. I had no idea. i went down to the officeto call my mom and she had told me she didnt know anything but then asked to talk to the receptionists, mrs. murphy. she told her that my dad was staying in the hotel between the towers and that she didnt know if he was in the towers for a meeting or somewhere else. later i was picked up by my neighbor mrs. ford and i played with my bestfriend lucy. it turns out that my dad was 3 blocks away but he lost all of his belongings were gone but that didnt matter to anyone until he came home on september 13, 2001.

I was getting ready to go to work that morning. I had just got out of the shower and turned on the television to see what the weather would be like. You see I worked at Disneyland on a fruit cart inside Adventureland and the weather was a report to me on how my day was going to go; if it was going to be hot then it would be busy and visa versa.The only images on the television were the towers and one seemed to be on fire. I thought it to be odd and then I saw the second plane hit the other tower. I didn't know what I was watching until the news reporter gave an update on what was going on. My mouth dropped and I froze. My twin sister walked in and was like, "Are you watching this?" We both kinda thought it was something...anything but real. I drove to Disney praying my whole way there that the people would get out alive. I prayed that if they couldn't get out that they would know and believe that God was with them. But more than anything I just wanted everyone to be okay and the towers to stay up. It wasn't a long prayer. I remember just saying "Please!Please!Please!let them be okay!" I had no words. I got to work and it looked like a ghost town. The few people I saw had there heads down. There was no communication. I walked across the park and saw no one. I got to my location and found everyone in the brakeroom glued to the television. I looked at my friend Mike and all he said was: "They collapsed". My heart sank and I knew that none of our lives would ever be the same again. I was told to go to the scheduling office where I spent the next four hours calling castmembers and informing them that they didn't need to show up for work that day. So many emotions expressed on the other end of the line. I cried with people I didn't even know. I was fearful for what would happen next. Who would be next?
To all who lost a loved one: My prayers are with you always. I can honestly say that there isn't a day that passes by that I don't think about it. Their memory is everywhere. I believe that every soul lost that day died a hero even though they didn't know what was going on. They took a hit for their country and for that they will always be remembered. God Bless You : )

I remember September 11, 2001 very well. I was working at the time. I was a secretary at a mental health clinic in Hazleton, Pa. I was pregnant with my youngest daughter and my oldest was in daycare. My mom called me and told me that she heard about a plane crashing into the WTC, but she wasnt sure exactly what was happening. As soon as I got off the phone with her, it came over the radio what had happened, since we had no tv in our office, it was all we had to listen to this. We all stood in shock, couldnt believe what was happening. We took turns running out to the waiting area to watch the small tv....I was so nervous after the plane crash in PA...I tried in vain to call my mother, but being so close to NYC, our phone lines were constantly busy, it took me a very long time to actually get through. When I did, I wanted my mom to go and pick up my daughter from day care, wishing that if we were all gonna die, I wanted her to be with people she loved. All day long, I dont think we got an ounce of work done, just listening to the radio, crying and wondering, what has happened to our nation, our wonderful country we call home....Home of the Free and the Brave. Needless to say, we learned just how true that is on that day. My thoughts and prayers to everyone who lost someone, who was affected by this tragedy and who ultimately gave the bravest sacrafice. I am proud to let you know, I married a wonderful man the following year and he is in the US Army, proudly defending and fighting for our great nation.....Home of the Free and the Brave. God Bless Us, Everyone!
