If we are leaders then why do we fight?
United States lost over 400 people on September 11,2001 in a horrible act of terrorism.
We will look back on that day for the rest of our lives
Life America will never be the same again with out the loved ones and friends we have lost.


Even though we are not at war hopefully the lord above us will protect us from having another tragic war,
Get us threw this tough time,
Help families in need,
And keep the rest of the U.S. standing strong,

It doesn't matter who you are whether your black, white, or from another country,
But to some people that does matter,
Racism will never stop unless everyone learns to accept others for who they really are.

As J.F.K once said
I always thought that we would look back on our crying and laugh, but I never knew we would look back on our laughter and cry.

Minna? Same Minna as Ski I'm guessing, right???

Either way, nice write...I personally liked the quote at the end.

United we stand, Divided we fall.
Never say die.

Very touching piece. I like that quote by JFK. That actually got a sigh out of me.  

Too bad about your password. That'd be a pain in the butt.  

keep writing and thanks for sharing.

That is so true.  It almost made me cry.  I think what J.F.K. says is very true.  Keep up the great work.

Love always,

Unfortunately, other people do look at this act as justice.  
Why?  I do not have the answer to that.  
Be strong and go about your daily life.
Thanks for sharing

Wow, that is awesome! I live in BC Canada, about as far away in North America that you can get from New York, but that day was the most horrible day of my TV viewing life. I still can't get my head around the enormity of it all. I don't understand how someone can hate so many people so much that he can plan to destroy thousands of lives (with death, grief, post-traumatic effects, etc.). My prayers and thoughts have been with anyone connected to anyone who died at all constantly.
