In reply to: Perceptor II 's message, "Remembering 9/11" on 19:54:49 09/10/02 Tue

I just returned from a ceremony to remember the victims of the tragedies of September 11th, 2001, held by our college's faculty and students. As we entered the area of the ceremony, we were given tiny American flags. I looked to my left from a pathway leading to where most of my peers and classmates were sitting, and I saw several beautifully set rows of American flags, with afew of different colors mingled in between to represent the victims from other countries. It was a magnificant sight really, dispite the tragedies that the flags represented. If my memory serves me right, each flag stood for 200 people. Posters with the timeline of events marked the outter boundary of the non-perminant landmark. These, and the names that I see in the list that Perceptor posted really put things into prespective, and I've shared that list with some of my friends. Everyone should see that, if they had family there or not.

We stood for the pledge, and sang the national anthem. A silent prayer hangs in my heart today and the hearts of others.
