It’s the first thing I think of when I look at the calendar and see today’s date and I hope it is the first thing everyone thinks of when they see this date come about. Just wanted to remember friends lost and loved ones taken on this horrific day in our history. No matter what side of the political fence you find yourself standing, today we have to join together and remember…
yup.
it’s the day alot of people died, and a skyscraper fell over all on it’s own (3 towers went down that day)
one day we’ll know what really happened.
Kind regards

Dave,
Buildings don’t fall over on their own and conspiracy theories don’t bring friends and loved ones back from a horrific unnecessary death. Please respect those of us who mourn and leave the fact-findings to Oliver Stone.
Last year around this time, I remember hearing a monologue given by a comedian on the subject “life’s too short.” The wordsmith’s performance focused on humorous, pithy suggestions that illustrated the point: Don’t hesitate, tomorrow is uncertain, so don’t waste any more time; do those things you’ve been putting off.
Although the speaker was mostly going for laughs, I took his message more seriously. For me, this particular day seems like a good a time to write or e-mail that family member or friend with whom I’ve lost touch, call that phone number I keep seeing on my local television news to volunteer in the community, try to make my little corner of the world a more peaceful place. I know it sounds crazy, but maybe small acts like these could somehow spread and eventually, there will be no need to add another day such as Patriot Day to the calendar.
Someone much wiser than I wrote these appropriate words:
You’re looking at a picture
I’m looking at it too
Do you see what I see today
Let’s talk about the difference
Find out what’s in the way
Open our eyes, see the same
See the same wayJackie

Thanks for the topic, Vic. It’s hard to forget.
Here’s something I did a number of years ago. I was fascinated with the worldwide news coverage of this sad event, so I threw together this web page: http://members.cox.net/rdiakun/frontpages.htm
