AS you all know, America and the World suffered greatly on Sept 11, 2001.

I propose that while we gather around to remember that fateful day we remember with thoughts and prayers those who died and those who worked so hard to find them, and those medical personnel who stepped into the gap and patched up the injured, and cried with the families of the dead.

I also propose that we remember our comrades that were born on Sept. 11 and wish them well.

For those about to turn a year older.

WE SALUTE YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. :cheers:

I wrote these words a couple of years ago and never have they been truer.
In the aftermath of one of the worst natural disasters in history, I want to take the time to wisha happy birthday to our members with 9-11 birthdays, and those who are trying to celebrate in the midst of trying to get back to normalcy following the damage of Hurricane Katrina.

:cheers:

I am in no way trying to trivialize either of these events.
I am trying to find some "silver lining" to hold onto in these dark times.
 
Very good. I hope Boom is having a good one.

This weekend will be a solemn one. Just a quiet introspection as we remember.

The National Geographic Channel had a four-hour program detailing every moment that led up to, during, and after the events of September 11th, 2001. It was hard to watch at times, quite graphic, and it brought back a lot of bad memories. Still, it's a reminder of why we must be vigilant, and never let these things happen again.

YOU'RE BACK ! !!!!!.... :D

Awesome news Alex - You've been missed !.....


And Gil - Good call - Nicely put !...
 
Thanks,
It's really just that time again.
And in light of all the stuff that is going on down south, I don't want people who were born around this time to be forgotten, or their birthdays "glossed over".

Here in the Kansas City Metro, one of the groups is getting together on the 11th, to conduct a telethon activity for the victims and displaced persons affected by the Hurricane and subsequent flooding.
I think that's a perfect way to remember 9/11.👍
 
In case anyone is interested the discovery channel is planning on airing a show on 9/11 about the final flight 93 that the passengers took down just outside Pittsburgh, before it reached D.C. Check your local listings for showings. Might be an interesting view, and a nice tribute to their efforts.

Edit:

The show is called "The Flight that Fought Back."

Here is a link for the show times EST. Show Times
 
*bump*

Tommorrow is Sept 11.
Many of my favorite "people that I've never actually met" have their birthday on 9/11.

Boom, and others, :cheers:
Happy Birthday.
 
We're holding a small ceremony tomorrow at the speedway during the event so you know that we won't forget the victims and men of 9/11.
 
I can see Parliament Hill from my room, and they've got the Canadian flag at half mast. Canada certainly will remember this horrific attack for many years to come.

These may be tough times we live in, but it's times like these that separate the men from the boys.
 
Don't forget to wish our friends (Boombexus, and many others) a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
:cheers:
 
Damn I forogot it was september 11th. Its kinda hard to believe that its been 4 years since it has happened yet it still feels like yesterday.....My condolence to all of those who suffered, and are suffering from katrina.
