To our family members, friends, co-workers, Mothers, Fathers, brothers, sisters and loved ones.....rest in peace. While your death remains senseless your memories live on in our hearts, our thoughts, and our prayers.

That's a nice way to celebrate it... my friends couldn't ask for a nicer remembrance... Hopefully when your niece becomes grown, her world will be a much more peaceful place...

That is my favorite picture of any that have been published about that horrible day. Three ordinary guys hoisting up our flag. I love the sight!

The guy who took the picture too, is one of the nicest, most humble people you'd ever want to meet. The Bergen Record, a North Jersey newspaper, was one of our clients, and I met him a few times in the course of business. I read about how he came to get this picture and it's was such an unplanned, spontaneous moment, that it makes me happy someone got one got it on film.

IF you haven't been to this site, it's pretty interesting -- it's got time lapse photography of the rebuilding of ground zero -

Here's hoping.
And here's hoping we can find her under all that icing.

I'm looking at the memorial lights now from my living room... as I walked around the Lower East Side tonight they were eerily visible haunting me from block to block. My father who I was walking with earlier in the day sat quietly in St. Patrick's Cathedral for those fellow humans that died.

I won't ever forget. I'm reminded every day by the paramilitary guys I see all over Manhattan, especially in Times Square.

Like the generation before us gen-Xers will never forget where they were when they heard the news JFK was shot, our generation will never forget where they were when the twin towers fell.

I was driving from my early morning coffee stop to work listening to NPR when they broke in and said a plane had just hit the world trade center. I assumed it was a little private plane and didn't think anything of it since it had happened before. Then 15 minutes later they said another one had hit and that we were under attack.

I remember that day as if it were just last week.

I was walking between classes, and when I entered our History teacher's room
I thought they were watching a Nova documentary on Volcanos.

Maybe not the best situation to remember it, but I remember it nevertheless!

I do believe we are well down the path of forgetting this event. And some have forgotten it already. These statements may not sit well with many people but I think it can be said. I'm convinced that the emotional and intuitive direct experience is irretrievable.

We tend to make the leap that having some small part of an experience in our memory is equal to "remembering." We also tend to substitute symbolic recreations and reminders for actual experience. There are also many mechanisms of denial at work within us.

Interesting thought about remembering. My ten-year-old asked me today why we didn't fly the flags at half mast yesterday. She was truly taken aback that we didn't do more to remember. I'm proud of her for at least thinking about it at her young age.

its very sad that you see and hear "never forget" but how many will actually do that? i wasnt one of those that lost anyone they knew on that day but i wont forget, i got married that saturday...one of the bridesmaids werent able to fly in from kc and had to drive (i think 20ish hours) just to make it for the wedding...

i often wonder if they put up another building there (like i heard once), if they would try the same thing again...

i hope everyone that lost someone that they know and love are doing as well as they can be expected to....

also i am curious y it matters if we have more then one sept 11th post?
