Tell your buddies thanks from all of us. We're a little down right now, but even the vermin that are reponsible know that we're getting ready . . . .

Thanks for posting the British tribute.

The Governor of the State of New York is about to address an extraordinary joint session of the state legislature about the tragedy, heroics and challenges of perhaps the most turbulent week in this state's history. Here at the capitol, there are so many state troopers standing guard at the doors, and guarding the building. They have told me that this is an example of how life will now change in our state and country.

God Bless America!

Thank you cousin, we need your prayers and support. Our hearts are breaking. This means more than you will ever know.

We can count on you; the faithful, tenacious, indomitable British Bulldog...

Thanks for the lovely post, Ivan.

From where did get the info about the task force? Bit starved for UK news. Can't seem to find out if BBC America will be covering the Memorial service from St. Paul's tomorrow.

Damn you. I thought I had stopped with the tears. You got me again.

In pictures: Britain's grief

As American people attempt to come to terms with the enormous consequences of Tuesday's terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, Britons send condolences and messages of support.

Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said on Thursday that more than 100 Britons were believed to have been killed in the attacks.

Mourners gathered at Buckingham Palace for a special ceremony of remembrance

Prince Andrew represented the Queen - still at Balmoral - and was joined by US ambassador William Farrish

The American national anthem was played at the altered Changing of the Guard at the suggestion of the Queen

The Queen is returning to London in time for Friday's remembrance service at St Paul's Cathedral

Flowers surround the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square

Hundreds of Britons have left messages of condolence and support.

The Lloyd's of London insurance market kept a minute's silence marked by the ringing of the Lutine Bell

Thank you, MadIvan.

This is a time that separates friends from foes, and the United Kingdom may be our strongest ally.

You are our cousins, and we know that you will stand with us come what may. No power on Earth can destroy the kinship between our great nations. God bless, cicero's_son

Damn you meant in the best of ways, btw.

Thank you Great Britain.

Can you get BBC News 24? Should be on that. Or perhaps Fox News.

It was on ITN News here in the UK - they showed film of the task force leaving Portsmouth. We're sending nuclear subs, aircraft carriers, destroyers - as I say, the largest task force since the Falklands War.

It's Britain's way, I think, of saying, "Prepare to die, Osama."

Regards, Ivan

Good to have you folks standing with us again.

Thank you, Ivan. I've never written you before, but your post compels me...

As a West Pointer and Army veteran, I'm touched by the Coldstream Guards' gesture...I had the pleasure to see them, and their cohorts, at the Trooping of the Colours (rehearsal), Sat 2 June; stirring sight...

Our two nations will always be closest of friends. Again, thanks for your touching sentiment.
