I'd Like To Propose
« on: August 18, 2009, 08:16:14 AM »
As we are all aware of...the 8th 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 (of from across the Pond for our friends from England) as our avitar...similiar to what I'm already doing.

http://www.september11news.com/

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.


Damn...8 years later and I still get tears in my eyes thinking about it.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

The sad fact seems to be that many Americans HAVE forgotten. Then, there are those that think it was a Government conspiracy.

Hey can you sticky this for me at least until after 9/11?

I haven't forgotten and as I've said before...it's probably the single most defining moment of my adult life.

I'd be willing to bet it is for a LOT of Americans...only the MSM doesn't want to hear from them or remind everyone why we are at war on two fronts today by showing the video.

I was narrating the ceremony for the unveiling of the Flight 93 Memorial at the Capitol and the Congressional 9/11 remembrance right after.

It was hard not to remain composed and not get choked up.

Not sure how I'll be at the 9/11 Ceremony at the Pentagon tomorrow.

Wish I had it to do more than just pray and send thoughts heavenward (seems just a bit too much like "healing white light" if you ask me), but as the Lord has claimed vengeance as his personal, private pervue, I have no right to poach in the Lord's territory, no matter how much I want to.

I do have other things to do as well I just understand how one can get choked up and sometimes a little extra in the strength department does not hurt either.

My apologies for dredging up TheSarge's old post on this...but it was all I could find when I searched.


Bump.  It's that time of year again.  11 years since the day that changed everything...and everyone.

I'd ask again this year that you change your avitar to one of the newspaper headlines from that day.

Thanks.

yes, thank you, TX.

...and thank you for your continued service. It's because of people like you who are willing to serve and sacrifice. , that we have not had another 9/11.
