Info on the HOLIDAY TOY DRIVE to benefit the children of WTC victims.
Help the WTC Victims Children! Today as I walked to work in Midtown, I received a flyer that was put together by the NYPD and FDNY. In order to assist both departments with the efforts, we discussed with them about posting the info on our site. Read more about it right here!

It's been one month today since the September 11th attack on America. Over the past month only about 20% of the remains of this disaster have been removed and it is believed that it will take about one year to clean it up. The war on terrorism continues into its 5th day of air strikes and progress is still yet to be known. September 11, 2001 is a day that will never be forgotten. This not only affected the lives of the people who died as a result it hurts the world.

As we continue to get the poems we continue to thank all of you.

Tonight's Address by the President was strong and supportive for our nation and for the world. "On September the 11th, enemies of freedom committed an act of war against our country.  Americans have known wars -- but for the past 136 years, they have been wars on foreign soil, except for one Sunday in 1941.  Americans have known the casualties of war -- but not at the center of a great city on a peaceful morning.  Americans have known surprise attacks -- but never before on thousands of civilians.  All of this was brought upon us in a single day -- and night fell on a different world, a world where freedom itself is under attack..." read the speech now.

UPDATES
Also, we thank everyone for their contributions to this site. Without the love and caring nature of all of you, we would not be hear trying to help spread it. It is wonderful to read so many wonderful things written by so many people worldwide. We will have more poetry and words of inspiration posted shortly. Thank you to the nearly 2300 people that have signed the Card of Hope already. If you haven't signed it, sign it now by clicking here.

Words to Live By
Someone has said the five most motivating words are, "You can make a difference." Indeed, most of us want to know that we can make a difference. Today let's decide to have a positive attitude by choosing not to allow petty inconveniences to irritate us. We can make a difference by being optimistic. Today we can make a difference by not allowing our minds to be contaminated by boredom or anxiety. We can use these 24 hours to be encouraging, loving, and giving. Today we can make a difference by not allowing past mistakes to haunt us, refusing to rummage through the garbage pit of past failure. Today we can make a difference by spending time with those we love-mates, children, parents, friends. We can choose to be the richest person alive by investing ourselves in people. Let's spend at least five quality minutes of talking, hugging, listening, thanking or praying. God has called you and me to make a difference. We can do that today!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Also for all families and individuals flying Old Glory, please see this link to make sure you are flying it correctly. Please also note (I noticed it was not noted on this link) that if you are flying the flag at night, a light should be shining on it at all times. Also a flag should not be flown in inclement weather. Flag Flying Tips link >>

Thank you to the many contributors
Thank you to all of you for sending in the poems, the support links, and the pictures. We are trying our best to get everything posted from all positive contributions. So, if you don't see your poem or picture up immediately, have no worries, we are trying very hard to get to all of the mail. Just to let everyone out there know how much you have helped, we are averaging over 400 e-mails per day of poems, kind words, and praise. We have gotten mail as far away as Japan, China, France, Italy, and the Netherlands, in as many languages also! I also know there has been some confusion as far as what ribbons people should be wearing. I have heard from various sources, plain blue ribbons or red, white, and blue ribbons. Please also show your support by tying a yellow ribbon around your tree, or flying Old Glory for the next 30 days!

What do you think would be an appropriate memorial to the World Trade Center victims at the WTC location?
A new WTC, with new twin towers
Scaled-down offices
A memorial structure
A quiet park

Please note, our poll has no influence on the official memorial that will be built by the City, State or Federal Govt's.

Please Note:
Although we are possibly the largest memorial website that has been put together in response to the September 11th attacks, we do not have any direct affiliation with the City of New York, or have any direct influence on the permanent memorial. We will soon have an FAQ page posted to assist anyone with many of the questions we recieve on a daily basis. Once again, we thank all of you for your help and support.

But the one thing they can't destroy is my
