A Modest Proposal for the 7th anniversary of 9/11
« on: August 27, 2008, 12:08:15 PM »
As we are all aware of...the 7th anniv. of 9/11 is just right around the corner.
On Sept 11th I'm asking that we do the same for our own country.

But instead of using Old Glory as our avitar...we could use the from pages of the news papers from across the country (or from across the Pond for our friends from England) as our avitar...similiar to what I'm already doing.

http://www.september11news.com/index.html

That link provides thumbnails of hundreds of newspaper front pages. Find the one form your hometown or since mine isn't there...find the one that sums up best how you felt that day.

Just a thought.


If this could be stickied for future use I'd appreciate it.

Oh my God! It's been 7 years since 9/11. It felt like yesterday. I will be posting some tribute videos. Many of them are really sad.
