A big Thank You to the rest of the world
Saturday, September 15, 2001 by KenLin | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
There has been a lot of discussion in here the last several days regarding the editorial written in a Canadian newspaper. This has prompted a lot of Americans calling themselves the thankless saviors of the world (myself included), and a lot of other folks in our global community here with injured pride.
That being said, I was truly touched by all of the gestures made by countries around the world yesterday. The moments of silence, prayers, etc have been truly appreciated. It's an amazing thing seeing the national anthem being played in cities around the world.
Thank You.

Yes!!! I think this will cheer everyone up: http://spot.eroded.org/thankyou/
Please, let's not fight in this tightly knit community - it's so rare to find such havens. I hope that no person has been injured beyond hope by some of the acid remarks that have flown around in light of the current events...
Peace to everyone!

Thanks for the link kwee2. Chaz posted some of those photos at LOS a couple days ago and they brought a flood of tears to my eyes. We are truly a global family...

You're welcome everyone! I know it makes me sleep better at night to know that the majority of people in this world are compassionate and this site is a lovely tribute to that

Man, these are powerful pictures, thank you kwee2! It got my eyes all wet. These pictures truely witness how this was more than an attack on the USA, it was an attack against humanity. You don't see the whole unite in their grief like that very often.
