Beautiful tribute, friend. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[Calpernia]

Come by for reflections and remembrances on this Anniversary that will not be forgotten.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

I vow I will Never Forget
the tragic events of September 11, 2001
And the sacrifices of All those
who help ensure my Freedom.
God Bless the men and women in the military,
law enforcement, fire departments and the medical field.
God Bless the unsung heroes who protect my Freedom.
God Bless America

I have also taught my daughter what it means to be an American.

Thank you for sharing that (((((Knightsofswing))))) and thank you, too, for your service to our country.

Beautiful graphic, ((((Gail)))

Excellent article ((((((Luis)))))

Thank you for posting that here. Too bad the ones that *need* to read it either never will or will not understand (or accept) what it is saying.

Thank you for reminding us that it is Ted Olson's birthday today. What a gorgeous picture of him and his late wife (and FReeper) Barbara.

Thank you for your links, graphics and posts. I haven't had a chance to visit your website yet, but I will.

Have a safe and blessed day.

Oh, Dansy, this just gives me goosebumps. Your verse, the layout, the graphics you chose take my breath away. What a beautiful post you've given us.

I was watching the morning news when they broke in with the first plane hitting the Trade Center. At that time, it appeared some tragic accident....then in utter disbelief, the second one hit and they knew.....this was no accident. I sat there crying as they continued to show the horrible scenes and then another plane and another. It was unreal. This couldn't happen in the United States, and it did.

I don't have much of a connection with the 9/11 attacks except common humanity. I knew no one who died and only learned about Olsen and Moran and their FR connection after the fact. I had however visited the WTC on July 4th 1979 and I saved my ticket stub from that day.

[SpookBrat]

Thank you. :) I'm determined to make this a good day if I can. I got some money yesterday and I'm off the quilting store.

[dansangel]

And I'll be sure that my children & some day my grandchildren, will never forget!!!!

That's the best thing that you can do, (((((KK))))) That way our children and grandchildren will always be prepared to prevent future attacks.

Thank you for the graphic and link (((jriemer)))

Beautiful graphic and so meaningful. We must all join together not only to remember, but for the fight against terrorism.

What a stunning photo. I'm sure you have some wonderful memories to go with it.

Thank you for sharing your essay with us again. It is *still* timely in its message and importance. Our president is still resolute and strong. Too bad the other side is attempting to sully his reputation.

[TexasCowboy]

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN?

(((((((Tonkin)))))))

What a wonderful graphic and pledge. May God bless you abundantly both for your service to our country and for what you do here on FR. Thank you.

[JohnHuang2]

Thank you very much, my friend.

I find today's Gospel very insightful and comforting:

Gospel
Lk 6:27-38

Jesus said to his disciples:
"To you who hear I say, love your enemies,
do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you,
pray for those who mistreat you.
To the person who strikes you on one cheek,
offer the other one as well,
and from the person who takes your cloak,
do not withhold even your tunic.
Give to everyone who asks of you,
and from the one who takes what is yours do not demand it back.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
For if you love those who love you,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners love those who love them.
And if you do good to those who do good to you,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners do the same.
If you lend money to those from whom you expect repayment,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners lend to sinners,
and get back the same amount.
But rather, love your enemies and do good to them,
and lend expecting nothing back;
then your reward will be great
and you will be children of the Most High,
for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.
Be merciful, just as also your Father is merciful.

"Stop judging and you will not be judged.
Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.
Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Give and gifts will be given to you;
a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing,
will be poured into your lap.
For the measure with which you measure
will in return be measured out to you."
