  • <bows head> Indeed.

    Although for all that happened, in a round about way that day brought my husband and I together. I wish it was better circumstanced that led us to meet, but for that I will always be grateful.

    I heard on the radio a very valid comment. Someone mentioned what a shame it was that the wave of public support that the US received 5 years ago was wasted. How different things could have been.

    Lets not forget the 2,937 that died 9/11 but I think we need to also remember the 92,469 who have died since then fighting the war on terror! :cry::cry:

  • sorry to point this out, but we are often quick to remind one another not to forget the needless loss of several thousand american lives, but less quick to remind one another of the needless loss of life of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of children and civilians due to american actions across the world

    Thats ok, you make a valid point.

    Its a war that most people, me included feel is wrong but it doesnt take away the fact people have died fighting it and deserve to be remembered.
