[QUOTE="Star*, post: 304203, member: 4964"] YOU CAN'T............. Make people remember........ Make people have the same emotions they did that day..... Make people crowd the churches fearing the God they worship.... Make people be a little kinder in traffic if only for one afternoon Make people respect the flag daily...... Make people help each other because humanity came together...... Make people find the good in us all........ Make people donate blood because it was the right thing to do....... Make people give unwanted items & time to charities for no reason.... Make people send cookies and baked goods to fire houses, police...... Make people take in strangers, cry for the dying, look on with pity..... Make people hug each other and just pray for people they'll never meet.. Make people worry about the future and plan for more tragedy...... YOU CAN......... DO ALL THESE THINGS EVERY DAY YOURSELF....... and if each one of us did that [B][U]every day[/U][/B] like we all did that tragic day and the days after on 9/11 - wouldn't it be a much nicer world to live in? I swear I hated 9/11 and I hated the tragedy of loosing loved ones in NY, and Difficult Child and PA - IT was HORRID and HORRIBLE and the worst thing to happen on American soil. BUT.....for a few hours each day after it made me SO VERY PROUD to be an AMERICAN. There were American flags everywhere. There were stickers in car windows and banners about unity - and PATRIOTISM......and we WERE UNITED and it FELT GOOD. IT wasn't race against race, it wasn't color against color. Crime went down....people stood absolutely SHOCKED for the first time in a long time about something horrific. We has shock value that actually sent us in record numbers to our places of worship. People cared. People were kinder. For a week or two - it was the best and the worst of times I ever remember. And today - I'm the ONLY one that wore red white and blue and a button that had the towers and an eagle crying that said REMEMBER. When others saw it they said - WHAT is ....oh oh yeah oh today is 9-11 like - oh that's years ago. I'm sorry folks I'm about the most patriotic person I know, and it makes me very sad and angry that people forget how horrible this was. That there are still rescue workers children that are growing up without their families, that there are people who now have Messotheolioma and other diseases and are dying from the cleanup they were told was asbestos safe. WE seem to have become a nation of convenience. Regret, forget and move on. I'm not sure which is a larger tragedy. But at the Star household there is a flag flying.....and there will be a larger flag displayed from the side of the house today in REMEMBERANCE of all the brave people who died trying to save others on Patriots Day. [COLOR=red]God[/COLOR][COLOR=navy] Bless[/COLOR] America!!!! Thanks for the post 3 shadows...... [/QUOTE]
