I use to look forward to my birthday. It's on the ninth, but now there isn't any joy, just unutterable sadness everywhere. As 9-11 approaches it becomes more and more depressing and each year seems to make it worse.

To the children born during the week of and on 9-11 my heart goes out to them.

I disagree. My b-day is the 10th, and I see it as an opportunity to have seen the word change.

I still want to crucify the (bleep) who murdered 3000 of my fellow Americans, but I am also enormously proud to be born and live here, and for the dedication of the armed forces to enforce justice for the 3000 who died.

My FRsister has her b-day on the 11th (she turned 18 that day) and is proud of having her b-day that day, for that day, America united for a greater cause than themselves.
