Always Remember, Never Forget...9.11 +2
TV ClubHouse: Archives: Always Remember, Never Forget...9.11 +2
Whoami | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 12:30 am     I know some people will say, "lets not beat this to death." For the most part, I agree. But, I also feel we must set some time aside today to pray for those so profoundly affected two years ago. Here's a link to a touching tribute. Photos slide show set to the music "You'll Never Walk Alone." It's a large file, and the site warns it will take quite a while to download. But, I just wanted to share it with those who wanted to spend a few moments remembering and praying for those who lost their lives, and those whose lives changed forever. Always Remember, Never Forget |
Mack | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 05:46 am     Thanks Whoami. In a few minutes I will leave my office and find my wife and hold her. As we have approached the second anniversary of the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon I have seen in her eyes and on her face the residual affects of that day in the Pentagon. We will for a few minutes step aside from work and remember our lost friends and coworkers and thank God for sparing us that day. We will not forget. |

Sasman | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 05:57 am     For me and my wife this is a very somber day. Since we lived within sight of the WTC seldom does a day go by that we don't think about what happened. Like many in our town, we knew someone who was murdered (Richie). We grieve for his wife and two children. Today is a beautiful day similar to two years ago. I can't possibly enjoy it. Love to everyone. |
Egbok | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 07:36 am     My heart is still sad, especially today. For the last two months I've been slowly working my way through a heartwrenching book fill with first hand accounts of 9/11. It's titled Never Forget and I can only read 1-2 short stories/accounts at one reading because they are so powerful and touching.

Bobbie_552001 | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:13 am     We will never forget. Like no other tragedy this has touched not only our lives but our hearts. God bless all of the families who continue to grieve today....our continued thoughts and prayers are with you. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:17 am     i would hope no one would say, "let's not beat this to death", because we should never forgot. my daughter was just starting the 8th grade. she wrote the dedication for the yearbook and it was awesome. rather than be dedicated to a teacher or staff member, she wrote it for all those who lost their lives on sept 11. i will put it here if anyone is interested, because i think it still holds true today.... |

Max | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:28 am     Here's a link to a very simple memorial poster for today. It's a larger version of this:
What I think is sad is the noticable LACK of flags flying these days. Two years ago, there were lines of people waiting to get any size flag they could and now, you hardly see them anywhere. At least where I live. My flag has flown at my house and on my cars every day and will continue to do so. Today, it's at half mast, per the Governor's decree. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 09:26 am     max, thanks for the link. i have printed out some of them and one is in the front window, one in the car, etc. we do fly a flag every day, but not when we aren't going to be home overnight (no illumination on it). and you all remember my front door, painted as an american flag. |
Mack | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 10:49 am     Unfortunately I can't fly my flag today. I'm at work and there are strong thunderstorms forecasted. Already had the flag ripped out of the house by a previous storm and I'm obviously not home to take it down if it gets nasty outside. I've worn out a couple of flags in the past 2 years.....a small price to pay. |
Dahli | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 10:57 am     Tabby...? Have you decided to put it here for us to see, I can't imagine anyone objecting and I would very much like to read it. Thanks |
Urgrace | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 10:58 am     Tabbyking, I would like to read it if you post it. As for flying our flag, we have been doing so for a very long time, well before 9-11 happened, and will continue to do so. We hope that no one ever forgets, but also hope that time will help ease the pain of remembrance for those who lost their dear loved ones and friends.

Not1worry | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 01:29 pm     Although we didn't know anyone killed on 9-11, it has changed our lives. My husband was serving in Afghanistan last year on 9-11 and this year he is in Iraq. In his letters, he always mentions the memory of that horrible day 2 years ago and he knows that what he is doing is important. I have found I can only focus on the tragedy in small amounts. I'm still completely overcome at the magnitude of grief. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 06:10 pm     In memory of all those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, in New York City, Pennsylvania, and the Pentagon--no matter what their nationality, no matter what their faith. From the innocent people aboard the planes and in the buildings, to the courageous rescue workers and volunteers, we will never forget the sacrifice that so many made. Let us continue to stand united! May we remain strong and loyal behind our government and respectful of our flag. We offer our thanks to the military and our allies for working so hard to keep us the "Land of the Free". This year's yearbook is dedicated with profound sadness for the events of September 11, and with heartfelt optimism for what is yet to come. May God bless us all. Caitlin |
Twinkie | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 06:25 pm     Tabby, I remember your flag door. Didn't you post it somewhere in the Trading Spaces thread? |
Tabbyking | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 06:53 pm     it was in the 'right now' thread, because i kept posting that 'right now' i am ready to scream, 'right now' i am painting for the 3rd time, etc.! i know it was around may 19, because my husband was at his class reunion! it may have gotten 'dumped' when tvch crashed. did all the archives go to archive heaven then? |
Twinkie | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 06:58 pm     That's a good question, Tabby. Maybe a mod will answer it. |

Tabbyking | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:07 pm     draheid, you sweetheart! you are the one who taught me how to post it in the first place and now you retrieved it for me...thank you! |
Twinkie | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:14 pm     YAAAAAAA, Dra!!!! |
Max | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:32 pm     Tabby, I love your door! What a nice idea. |
Egbok | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:43 pm     I remember when you did that Tabs. Your hubby was down my way attending his HS reunion and you painted the door in one day, right? I remember being amazed at your talent! |

Tabbyking | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 09:10 pm     eg, you are exactly right about all the details--well, except for one--i am the least artistic/talented person i know (other than occasionally when i write) so i was lucky i didn't ruin the door! Max, thanks for the compliment. i think it was within a week or so of meeting you at the cruiserfest...wasn't that in may? |
Whoami | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 02:27 pm     Wow. I Just read a post on my drum corps website. Read the 7th post down from the poster "FD." That's what remembering and honoring is all about. The other posts are pretty good too (like CrownAlto's response to FD).
