September 11, 2002

I hope it is okay to post this. A friend just sent me this in an e-mail and I thought I would pass it along.

September 11, 2002 is soon approaching. On that day, please wear red, white and blue to work or school to show your support for those who lost their lives on 9~11~01 and to honor the heroes who worked to save them and the families left behind. At noon your time on September 11, 2002, no matter where you are or what you are doing, stop, put your hand on your heart, and
say the Pledge of Allegiance out loud or to yourself and say a
prayer for our nation.

If all of us do this together in every time zone around the world,
we will have a powerful chain of thoughts surrounding us. Please
keep this going to your friends and family. By September 11, 2002
hopefully enough people will have read this and will join together
in unity.


God Bless the U.S.A.

I think that's a great idea!!

I'll also play this Springsteen song:

INTO THE FIRE

The sky was falling and streaked with blood
I heard you calling me, then you disappeared into the dust
Up the stairs, into the fire
Up the stairs, into the fire
I need your kiss, but love and duty called you someplace higher
Somewhere up the stairs, into the fire

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love

You gave your love to see, in fields of red and autumn brown
You gave your love to me and lay your young body down
Up the stairs, into the fire
Up the stairs, into the fire
I need you near, but love and duty called you someplace higher
Somewhere up the stairs, into the fire

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love

It was dark, too dark to see, you held me in the light you gave
You lay your hand on me
Then walked into the darkness of your smoky grave
Up the stairs, into the fire
Up the stairs, into the fire
I need your kiss, but love and duty called you someplace higher
Somewhere up the stairs, into the fire

May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love...


May your love bring us love

Thanks for the post. Even though I'm not American, it sounds like a great idea. I'll wear the colours come Sept 11!

As Kevin said, even though I'm not American it sounds like a great idea. I plan on lighting candles with the kids at work, in remembrance of those who lost their lives.
