Title: September11th never forget!
Post by Elaine on Sep 10^th, 2002, 8:03am

A year ago yesterday. I woke up hearing the crys comeing from the TV in another room. I was with my best friend. I could not hold the tears back then and he could not either, Calling my family and friends were all I had on my mind. Tears feel for weeks. It will be a year tomorrow and tears are still falling. I will never forget that day, even though I never knew anyone that died that day, I will never forget them. The heros I did not know but they are clos to my hert the familys.

As we go about our day tomorrow we will have all in our hearts!

September 11th!!!

OK, as I did on HSG, I add this little thing here....
This will be also on my Vancouver CD (but this is not a sort of advertising!!!) Is my interpretation (piano and chorus) of Star spangled banner (MP3 low quality, 250 Kb).

To all the heroes of September the 11th

Thank you, Elaine. That was beautiful, if one can use such a word for this situation. And we did know them. They were our brothers and sisters and neighbors and friends and us. We may not have known them personally but we knew them intimately.
Riccardo... all I can say is chills.

Ralph Stanley - O Death

O, Death
O, Death
Won't you spare me over til another year
Well what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me
Well I am death, none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell
Whoa, death someone would pray
Could you wait to call me another day
The children prayed, the preacher preached
Time and mercy is out of your reach
I'll fix your feet til you cant walk
I'll lock your jaw til you cant talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very air, come and go with me
I'm death I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To draw up the flesh off of the frame
Dirt and worm both have a claim
O, Death
O, Death
Won't you spare me over til another year
My mother came to my bed
Placed a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm my feet are cold
Death is a-movin upon my soul
Oh, death how you're treatin' me
You've close my eyes so I can't see
Well you're hurtin' my body
You make me cold
You run my life right outta my soul
Oh death please consider my age
Please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command
If you will move your icy hand
Oh the young, the rich or poor
Hunger like me you know
No wealth, no ruin, no silver no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
O, death
O, death
Wont you spare me over til another year
Wont you spare me over til another year
Wont you spare me over til another year

Hi Zaira, I'm glad you got something out of it. I wish I did write it but it was written (I think) by the old bluegrass musician Ralph Stanley (Unless you mean the part above the lyrics. LOL).

We can never forget or ease up on the S&D mission for those who levied such a toll on this nation.

Hey Ted, nice PIC. (We could have used those gun ships in nam)

We live near NY and go there often. The void where the towers stood in the skyline is a constant reminder of that day. I have been to the top many, many times. There are many families here that lost someone- I can't stop watching the TV even though it is very depressing.
The first anniversary will be the worst, but we will never forget.

It's that anger that you feel, that jonny feels, that I feel, that most Americans and nations around the world felt, that made my husband volunteer that very day. He and every other service member....so they could make the cowards pay. And they will.

I was just watching a special on CBC and it still seems so unreal and unbelievable.

God bless all of us.

As much as I dislike most Christian broadcasters, etc. they don't go around blowing up buildings and murdering children....at least in recent history.

bin Laden is related to Islam as the Klan is to Christianity.

Puzzles me why we can't spot a 6'4" towelhead carrying a dialysis suitcase.

It's a strange day tomorrow. Too bad every generation has some kind of date like this to remember.

Nice posts. I wish I were as eloquent.

Thought I'd share this;

I was burying my mother on September 11, 2001.
A completely sur-real day for me.

At the end of the outside Chapel Eulogy the pastor came to me and asked if I knew why my mother had died two days prior. I didn't.
He responded;

" Because God knew this (Sept 11) would be a fateful day and he would need some loving souls to help him."

That was one of simplest, yet deepest, statements anyone has ever made to me.

My God, Don! That is powerful.

Here is something a partner from my lawfirm wrote:

Still There

by: C. Edward Good

We stared straight into the face of evil and saw the anger and hate, the insanity of it all. In disbelief, we watched our country wounded, our loved ones slaughtered, our fellow citizens stunned. Grown men and women cried. Their children, transfixed, watched the horror over and over again. Giant balls of fire blew out of buildings when planes knifed through pillars of steel as if they just weren’t there. And soon they weren’t, the skyline changing forever. Smoke and dust billowed through the avenues, looking like scenes from hell. Innocents screamed and ran for their lives. Many jumped, holding hands, staying together for a quick and final end. Sadness struck the nation, indeed the world. We hung on to family and friends and often complete strangers, who, we would begin to realize, were not strangers at all.

But from that doom and despair, hope and determination began to flicker and then to burn through our national soul. We saw the firemen raise the flag atop the tangled wreckage, recollecting in us an image from a land far away as marines pushed and pushed to plant the stars and the stripes. It brought to mind our own song about bombs bursting in air. About our flag that was still there. The song sung over there. In England. By the Queen. By thousands in many lands.

Still there. Still there in our hearts as we watch the rescuers, their hard hats adorned with tiny splashes of red and white and blue. We watch them attack the pile of rubble, firm in their belief that if a single body still breathes, they will continue to dig. Still there as we hear of Todd Beamer, Jeremy Glick, Mark Bingham, Thomas Burnett, and no doubt others who hurled their bodies at the madmen, knowing they would not leave the shadow of death, saving hundreds from additional tragedy, preserving the landmarks of our nation’s youth. Still there as we gather in groups across the land to light our candles, to cry our tears, to sing our songs, and to know that America is indeed the beautiful, that God has blessed and will bless this land, and that our flag was still there. Still there as we extend our arms and give our blood. Still there as small children offer their small hands full of pennies saved. Still there as we gaze at the skyline and see its gaping void. Still there as we look out a bit—just over there in the water—and see the lady, her hand held high, holding the lamp of promise, of freedom, of our unbendable will. Still there as we all commit once again to our experiment in freedom and take our centuries-old test of democracy. Still there as we remember the words of our founders that all people are created equal and that we dedicate our lives to that proposition. Back then. Today. And for all tomorrows to come.

So from this face of evil, the spirit of our people rises up. We stare back into the loathsome darkness. But all around us we know and see and feel and touch the light—the core goodness of this nation. We bend. But through decency and faith and love, we will not break.

Not ever.

And so I walk to work. In our nation’s capital. I come upon a lady looking at me with a smile—from her black face. She holds out her aluminum-foil package from home. “Try some,” she says. “It’s delicious,” she says with the smile that stays. I help myself to a piece of fruit. I smile—from my white face. We nod. We know. That our flag is still there.

I'm crying all over again.--TomM--
