not commercializing or jingoizing the ever-living BeJeezus out of 9/11. (Tho' something tells me that thats what is going to happen anyway, if it hasn't been happening to begin with )
Ie., remembering it and honoring it with something more *indepth* and with something that makes one think about what its all about and what we can do to overcome travesties like that.
I will do what I normally do on Wednesdays. I'm not trying to be sarcastic. I'm sure that many times throughout the day I will remember what happened a year ago and hopefully I'll remember to pray for the survivors. Beyond that, life goes on.
...I hope to spend that day with the same freedom i had one year before... but with more self realisation that we live in a world of hurt and trying to have some peace in heart...
Unless there are some new attacks or something, I'm going to ignore the TV, the newspaper, the radio, and commercial websites. The way so many are trying to profit or push a political agenda spits in the face of the memory of all those who were murdered on September 11th.
Had al Qaeda went on suicide bombings in the headquarters of CNN, Fox, ABC, CBS, etc. instead of murdering innocents I believe September 11th would have been a holiday instead of the anniversary of a tragedy.
I will remember those whom I had worked with at the Pentagon.
I am sure that all in my office will have a ?moment of silence? for those who were murdered on that terrible day (this will be an individule thing, at our desks, at the time of our choosing.
Some in my office will go to memorials at the Post Chapel on Fort Huachuca.
I will not allow the terrorists to succeed in my life by making me afraid to enjoy the Freedom and the Liberty that we all have.
I have a half day of work on the 11th, and will prayerfully remember those who lost loved ones that day. I will also pray for my partner, who missed being at the WTC by an hour, and I'm sure will feel upset that day.
So far those jerks at CNN have been playing recordings of people's messages to their families right before the towers collapsed on them. I guess I'll have to take my leave of that kind of crap a little early.
I don't know which is worse; the playing personal information in order to boost ratings, or the "Britney Spears 9/11 Celebration" type concerts that are going to go on. It's all disgusting to me and I think they all need to F*** off and stop tearing off our country's scabs to make themselves rich.

A real challenge for our rather shallow culture.

This September 11?
I will be at work, like I was last year.
I will remember those whom I had worked with at the Pentagon.
I am sure that all in my office will have a ?moment of silence? for those who were murdered on that terrible day (this will be an individule thing, at our desks, at the time of our choosing.
