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!

We will soon be accepting donations to benefit the victims of the tragedy
Thank you all for your support. We have been working hard on our end here for the good of all involved. By mid-week, we will be set up with PayPal to establish a memorial fund to benefit the victims of Tuesday's tragic events. This will not only benefit the World Trade Center victims, but the victims of The Pentagon, and the loss in Pennsylvania.

Poetry Submission of the Day.
Thank you to all that have written with your poems, your prayers and your words of hope. It not only means a lot to us, it means a lot to all of you as well. As of this evening, we are going to establish a poem of the day.

This submission is from Bob Mitchell in the UK,

If we could take away the pain, we would
If we could promise that only happy memories would remain, we would
But we have no such power and can make no such promise
But what we can offer is the certainty that we are here if America needs us.

It is the wonderful submissions like this one above, that is helping in everyone get through this. As many have said, this is not a disaster for America, this is a disaster for the world.

The United States President, George W. Bush proclaims Friday, September 14, 2001, as a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of the Terrorist Attacks. Part of the statement issued on the White House website,

". I ask that the people of the United States and places of worship mark this National Day of Prayer and Remembrance with noontime memorial services, the ringing of bells at that hour, and evening candlelight remembrance vigils. I encourage employers to permit their workers time off during the lunch hour to attend the noontime services to pray for our land. I invite the people of the world who share our grief to join us in these solemn observances." read the whole statement now.

Friday Night at 7:00 p.m. step out of your door, stop your car, or step out of your establishment and light a candle. We will show the world that Americans are strong and united together against terrorism. Please pass this to everyone on your e-mail list. We need to reach everyone across the United States quickly.

We also ask all individuals to wear blue ribbons in memory of this tragedy, not just today, but everyday in remembrance.
