I completly agree, there were so many threads with live reports.

Some with gut wrenching details. It was difficult to do anything that day, and even more difficult to keep control of the anger.

Good morning, Aqua. I've been waiting or this post as I knew it would be awesome. You didn't let me down.

Thank you, I had alot of help from Mama Bear, NickNamedBob and Billie. Mama Bear also made the Welcome graphic.

Hope you enjoy the visit with your sisters in New Orleans, I'm a little worried about Ivan coming that way.

Thank you (((((Rus))))) - and if I don't tell you often enough, thank you for presenting us with daily Scripture.

I'm very familiar with your 911 post from last year, I studied it while creating this one, even "borrowed" the pic of the Field. :)

Thanks for the kind words (((dansangel))). Good luck with your move back HOME.

I really didn't see any similarities at all (((((Aqua)))))) - your backgrounds, borders and selection of photos for the moving poetry are *exquisite.* You do such an elegant job here at the Finest!

If it looks like it will hit before I'm scheduled to return I'll get an earlier flight back. I'm not scheduled to go back to work until 9/20 so I can stay longer if needed.

Or, my sister-in-law says she will drive me back. She had grandchildren here and is always looking for a reason to come to Texas.

Georgia Whitkin (sp?) was on Fox and Friends this morning. She had interviewed some visitors at Ground Zero earlier this week. She talked about how traumatic even talking about that day still was, and should be.

Am very flattered by your words, thank you. I miss your contributions in here and your unique presence. Love you Girl.

Your family may wind up visiting you in Texas if Ivan keeps taking a westernly track. In just a few hours Jamacia will be transformed into a disaster area. Have heard it's a beautiful place...it will recover in time.

Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts.

The victims were in airplanes or in their offices -- secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers. Moms and dads. Friends and neighbors.

Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.

The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger.

These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation.

Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.

America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining.

Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature, and we responded with the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.

Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government's emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it's prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, D.C., to help with local rescue efforts.

Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks.

The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight and will be open for business tomorrow.

Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business as well.

The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I've directed the full resources for our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.

I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance.

America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world and we stand together to win the war against terrorism.

Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me."

This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time.

None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.

Thank you. Good night and God bless America.

President George W. Bush

I appreciate your kind words (((((((Gabz))))))

The people that are really owed the thanks are those that gave their lives.

I miss being here. Once things settle down for us, I hope to be back fairly regularly.

Today, I have some time because we are actually ahead of schedule packing. I'll be checking ion from time to time and also monitoring the latest forged documents scandal.

Backhoe has a fantastic archive of links pertaining to the forgeries and the desperation of the left here:

I'll be spending my time there perusing, as well!
