This website was created in 2001 as a means for the sharing of personal expressions with people around the world.
Content is from the site's 2001-2002 archived pages.
Thousands of people died or were injured that day. These events were witnessed all over the world and will forever be embedded into our memories, as will the individuals who lost their lives that fearful day. The World Trade Center and Pentagon Memorial site remembers and honors those persons.
Local view: I was recently in New York City visiting a client. As part of a team of consultants for the enterprise SEO group TNG/Earthling, my job entails running forensic tools to discover technical issues regarding search compliance. Our team has been very successful in assisting clients in obtaining productive high ranks in Google for their important keywords and our service includes training business owners to recognize the basics of search engine optimization so they can better guide their marketing staff in the writing of public facing content, including product descriptions, general information, advertising and social media engagements.
The company I was consulting with is located nearby to the 9/11 Memorial Plaza and Museum. I was humbled and overwhelmed visiting the 8-acre park which is composed of a grove of nearly 400 white oak trees, and the largest manmade waterfalls in the United States. It is set within the footprints of the original Twin Towers with each pool approximately 1-acre in size. The names of every person who perished in the terror attacks of February 26, 1993 & September 11, 2001 are honored in bronze around the twin Memorial pools. The National 9/11 Memorial Museum is located within the archaeological heart of the original WTC site. I encourage everyone to take the time to visit lower Manhattan. The World Trade Center and the surrounding area has together to create something entirely new and spectacular out of a tremendous tragedy. Please go to see this tribute of remembrance and honor.

It has been brought to our attention that a shortage of nurses exists throughout the United States. We hope that this message encourages just one of you to become a nurse.
In Memory of: |
Though you leave this world for another,
You will not leave our hearts,
Though you drift to a better place,
You will not leave our minds,
For your passing,
Though sad,
Will be overcome,
And time will heal,
The broken souls of a nation,
The broken souls of a world.
For now we can only say,
To yourselves, and those you left,
God bless you.
We will never forget.

God Bless all the People Who Lost Their Lives and Were Injured in the World Trade Center and Pentagon Disasters.
Please Pray for the Victims and Families, and Remember the Fearless Fire Fighters, Brave Police, Heroic Volunteers and Innocent Airline Passengers Who Meaningfully Risked and Sacrificed Their Lives to Save Others.
Eternal thanks to the many courageous rescue, demolition, sanitation and support workers risking their lives to deal with the disaster and find survivors, and of all the generous people supporting them.
They truly need and appreciate your help.
The lessons you learn in death are the ones you need in life.
Friday September 14 was a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance.
Please continue to pray and remember.
The parents of Greg Rodriguez, a young man who died in the World Trade Center, said this:
"We read enough of the news to sense that our government is heading in the direction of violent revenge, with the prospect of sons, daughters, parents, friends in distant lands dying, suffering, and nursing further grievances against us."
"It is not the way to go...not in our son's name."
From The Mirror's War on Terror: The Real Victims.
This is a plea to people of all religions, races and cultures, not to commit violence against each other.
We are all born into a world sick with racism, which we must conscientiously strive to transcend.
Anyone can always decide for themselves to get over their hatred, and then they become an adult.
The haters are just angry, dangerous children.
-Anonymononus
Civilized adults of the world should join together to firmly condemn the hateful behavior and divisive finger pointing of well meaning but misguided people, including Moral Majority's founder Jerry Falwell, Scientology president Heber Jentzsch, Taliban leader Osama bin Ladin,and other angry, dangerous children of all faiths.
They abuse and disgrace religion by their hateful, destructive inexcusable behavior.

Bush Regrets "Crusade"
President Bush regrets using the word "crusade,"
with all its historical connotations of religious war,
to describe his campaign against terrorists,
his spokesman said Tuesday.
"I think to the degree that that word has any connotations that would upset any of our partners or anybody else in the world, the president would regret if anything like that was conveyed. But the purpose of his conveying it is in the traditional English sense of the word, it's a broad cause," said Fleischer.
"I think what the president was saying had no intended consequences for anybody, Muslim or otherwise, other than to say that this is a broad cause that he is calling on America and the nations around the world to join," Fleischer said.
This is a Sincere Plea to our Political and Religous Leaders to Cease Using Divisive Language.
This is a time for Tolerance, Charity and Honoring True Heroism; not for Finger Pointing, Crusading nor Knee-Jerk Jingoism.

Heroes of Flight 93 |
Jeremy Glick - Does the family think it’s possible that Jeremy may have saved the White House? "I think so. I think so," they say. |
Mark Bingham
- Mark Bingham to his mother: "I love you. I'm on a flight from Newark to San Francisco and the plane has been taken over by three guys, and they say they have a bomb ... yes, its true." |
Thomas Burnett
Thomas E. Burnett Jr. of San Ramon, California was a senior vice president and chief operating officer of Thoratec Corp., a medical research and development company, and the father of three. |
Todd Beamer Authorities now believe 32-year-old Todd Beamer and other passengers died trying to overpower the hijackers. In doing so, they may have prevented a much greater catastrophe because the terrorists had turned the plane toward Washington, D.C. |
We'd like to make notice of all of the passengers on flight 93. They were all a part of saving lives.
