Remembering the victims and families from 63 nations today.

This was sent to me by a friend, and sums things up much better than I can. If anyone would like to share it with their friends then please do.


This has been kept alive and moving since 9/11. In memory of all those
who perished this morning; the passengers and the pilots on the United Air
and AA flights, the workers in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and
all the innocent bystanders. Our prayers go out to the friends and families
of the deceased.

I still get chills when I see the news footage played on TV. It all seems so fresh.

I remember my son ringing me and telling me to turn the telly on, the horrific memory is still vivid and as it was also my birthday is a date I will never ever forget, I felt too upset to open my cards and presents and waited till the following day.I had a friend living in Queens and it was over a month before we got word that she was okay. Flew to Florida a few days later, this was our first visit.
