LIVE THREAD WTC Memorial Service 2:00 pm EST

[Jennifer in Florida]

Oh gosh, another tear-jerker coming up :(

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

You are correct, Adagio. Oh well, I had the first letter right!

[mware]

This song is tearing the soul right out of me. The faces, the photographs and the wreakage.

[pubmom]

It sounded as if ALW re-worked part of "The heart is Slow to Learn" to make that song.

Did anyone else get tears while listening to Franklin's prayer?

"We will also visit that church nearby that survived without a scratch"

There are 2 that I know of that are pretty close. The one that I now pass regularly is the final resting place of Alexander Hamilton. He's about 4 or 5 feet from the sidewalk on Rector street. There is still dust on the graveyard grass. Poor guy must be doing spins in his coffin.

God Bless America

[Allegra]

This song is tearing the soul right out of me. The faces, the photographs and the wreakage.

It did me too. It just makes me so angy all over again. I hope big, noisy bombs are dropping on Taliban scum right at this moment.

[shadeaud]

Renee Fleming and God Bless America brings the tears and a smile at the same time. This is a wonderful service

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Hi, there. I wasn't going to watch this - but with your commentary and that of others - am tuned in. Didn't think I would be in tears again - but am. I love seeing all the American Flags now - with the God Bless America - that we have heard so many times since Sept 11 (to the point that I had gotten a bit tired of it to tell the truth). But, with this lady's voice (Who is she?) singing it - It sits well again.

[peabers]

I just knew Hillary is the Anti-Christ. Did you see the look of disgust on her face, and the downwards and away glance, when Cardinal Egan spoke. Who was the hot dog lover standing to her left?

[mware]

The Governor walking through the crowd giving consolutions. You think the junior senator from NY is doing that?

[hole_n_one]

[pubmom]

I just made a similar comment to my son.
It makes me want to go kick the terrorist's rears myself.

[mware]

Rudy doing the same. Hugs and kisses to the familties.

[newwahoo]

Your photos are the real deal. Did you find it hard to believe until you saw it yourself? I still can't believe the towers aren't there. They were modern-day "wonders of the world".

I'm glad you were there, and I hope you saw a little NYC defiance as well.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Yes - see that. It just for a second reminded me of the destruction in bombed out London during WWII - such pain in the faces of the loved ones there. Do they know we out in fly over country are also in pain with them? Do they know that we are resolved, despite the best effort of Hillary and her terrorist friends, to defeat those who did this to them and to us? We will not falter and we will not fail!

[mware]

Can you get a photograph of the beautiful child in his fathers fire hat #7?

[giotto]

Is FOX replaying this later ? ? ? ? ?

C-SPAN will repeat it at 2:00 a.m. EST. Don't know whether Fox will, but MSNBC probably will re-air it.

Mr Bocelli is PROOF OF GOD

Oddly enough, the first time I ever heard him was on an episode of The Sopranos. Then I saw him on PBS, recognized his voice and bought his Sacred Arias album. There is a quality in his voice that is so moving and beautiful.
