This site is here to remember all our loved brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters that are no longer with us.  Not just those lost during 911, but all that have been taken through actions of war or violence, no matter what race or religion.

We are all a part of the same Race, The Human Race, neither creed, color, religion should separate us, aren't we all a creation of God ?

Does not the letters on this site from every corner of the globe, from a multitude of race or religious backgrounds say "We should Love one another" ?

Amazing how Mankind boasts our great intelligence or accomplishments,

 When the FACTS are: We are the only species that kill each other for no reason, we are destroying our world environment when our very existence depends on this planet we live on.

Is it not time to start fixing the problem ?

LETTERS SEPTEMBER 1st 2006 - Today (9th)

----------- September 9th, 2006  Letters --------

On 9-11 at 7:30 I had just returned from a hospital in Louisville, KY for having a sleep apnea test. I turned on the T.V. and was sitting there watching the morning show. When all of a sudden the plane hit the first tower. I was glued to the T.V. all day long.  I recorded all day long. I have never watched these tapes but I still have them.
Three years ago we celebrated out 25th wedding anniversary in Pennsylvania in the Pocano's on our way back home we went to the flight 93 crash sight. I took so many pictures of all the memorial things that people left it was such a heart warming thing to see so many things that people had left. We talked to a lady who was an over see person of the sight. She said that everything that was left will be saved and put in the memorial building when it is built. It all gave my husband and I cold chills just to be at the sight. We also visited the memorial chapel built close by.  It was amazing also. The gentleman at the chapel pointed out that it was directly across the  field from the crash.  I hope I live long enough to see the memorial built on the sight of the crash.

Han pasado 5 años de la tragedia que cambió para siempre la historia mundial con el ataque terrorista contra las Torres Gemelas del World Trade Center, New York.

Estaremos honrando la memoria de las 3,000 víctimas de ese martes negro en que cambió para siempre en que todos estamos unidos más que nunca. Incluyendo a 2 juandinos que murieron trágicamente. Manuel Del Valle y Richard Rodríguez. Desde la Plaza Román Baldorioty de Castro, Juana Díaz, Puerto Rico estaremos en acto ecuménico en memoria de estos caballeros juanadinos. 

Oremos por la paz mundial para que pronto termine la Guerra contra el Terrorismo. Que Dios les colme rica y abundantemente de bendiciones para todos Uds.

Monday  will mark the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks. As I reflect on the horror of that day, I can remember the fear, the pain and the uncertainty of what would happen next, and it makes me sad. But, more important than the sadness, is the the pride I feel for my country. The cowards that attacked our country did not destroy us, they made us stronger. I see more American Flags flying then I ever did before.  I see people looking up to police, firefighters and EMS workers and recognizing the sacrifices they make for all of us on a daily basis.  I see our military fighting and dying to free countries that have been oppressed by their leaders for way to long.

Thank you to all of you who dedicate your lives to protect our homes, our bodies and our souls.  Although, we as Americans all lost something on 9-11 my thoughts and prayers especially go to any of you who lost someone, and to the families of the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice.

God bless you and God Bless America

Well, this Monday will mark the 5 year anniversary of September 11, 2001. It still seems unreal that those events took place. And that its actually been 5 years. My heart goes out to those who lost a loved one. And a big THANK YOU to the responders of 9/11. I read through some of the other letters and was overwhelmed. Tears streaming down my face. This tragedy did not only happen to the American people but to all people. We will never forget.

Dear Leslie,

I am from Canada, and since starting this site September 12th, 2001 I have seen how close humanity really is, reaching to every corner of the globe.

The letters on this site are testament that we are all God's children and the bond we share goes deeper than any emotion.

God bless you and your family

I am a very proud American. What was done to us that day I shall never forget. It brought us sadness but at the same time showed us that true evil does exist in this world we live in and we must not let it dampen our spirits or cause riffs in our brethren Americans, because if we let that happen then they have won. There is nothing I would not do for my country, except kill innocent people, such as those who died that day.

My heart and sole goes out to the families and friends of those who lost someone on that brutally real day.

I want to thank those people throughout the world who understand our frustration, anger, loss, and ask that they prey this never happens to anyone again.

God Bless The United States of America

On 9/11/01 i was preparing breakfast for my then 3 year old son. he came into the kitchen  and told me that a plane hit a big building. i didn't think anything of it. i just continued making breakfast. i then turned on abc and discovered what my son was talking about.  he was right a plane did hit a building. from there i collapsed. i had family in those buildings and i couldn't stand to think that they died because of idiots who hate America. i still cry 5 years later when i see the footage of the attacks. my thoughts and prayers are with each and every family that lost someone on 9/11/01. either in NYC, dc or pa. my son on 9/11 each year after that has lit a Yorkshire candle to lead those who lost there lives to  a peaceful after life

7th September 2006
Almost 5 years on let us remember those who died, suffered or were affected by the atrocities that happened on 9/11/01. People put their own lives at risk to save others, this proves that love makes the world a better place and we can beat evil that comes to us. Here in my home country UK we had bombs in London not so long ago, terrorism will continue but lets fight together to banish it forever.
God bless America on the anniversary of 9/11

9-11 TRIBUTE THRU CONNECTION WITH NYC MARATHON.
IN 2000 I RAN THE NYC MARATHON AND FELL IN LOVE WITH THE CITY, SO ON RETURNING HOME I IMMEDIATELY BOOKED TO GO AGAIN IN 2001. WITH THE EVENTS OF 9-11-2001 I DIDN’T THINK THE RACE WOULD TAKE PLACE, (NOV 4TH) SO I WAS OVERJOYED THAT RUDY GIULIANI INSISTED THE RACE GO AHEAD. ON ARRIVAL AT KENNEDY AIRPORT I WAS CALLED TO THE BRITISH AIRWAYS DESK TO BE INFORMED THAT MY MOTHER HAD DIED AFTER A LONG STRUGGLE WITH CANCER, WHILST I WAS IN THE AIR. IN THE PREVIOUS WEEKS I KEPT TELLING MY MOM THAT IM NOT GOING TO NEW YORK DUE TO HER POORLY CONDITION. SHE TOLD ME, “ I KNOW YOUR HEART IS BREAKING BY THE SITUATION, BUT YOU MUST TRAVEL TO NEW YORK WITH MY BLESSING AND STAND AGAINST TERRORISM AND MAKE YOUR MOTHER PROUD BY SUPPORTING FREEDOM AND LIBERTY”. MY PLANE LEFT LONDON FOR NEW YORK AT 10.00AM (GMT) SHE DIED 20 MINUTES LATER, A FACT THAT STILL BRINGS A TEAR. SO THERE I AM IN NEW YORK EMOTIONALLY DEVASTATED TWICE. I SAT ALONE ON THE BACK OF THE BUS TRAVELING FROM KENNEDY TO MANHATTAN. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY JUST LIKE 9-11. I LOOKED OUT OF THE WINDOW STARING NOWHERE IN PARTICULAR, IN AN EMOTIONALLY SURREAL STATE . THEN CAME THIS WONDERFUL SIGHT IN THE FOREGROUND THE VAST CEMETERIES OF CALVARY AND MOUNT ZION AT MASPETH AND ON THE HORIZON THE MANHATTAN SKYLINE, SEEN THRU A KALEIDOSCOPE OF TEARS AND SMILES BECAUSE I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

(DEDICATED TO THE PERSON WHO WAVED THE BATH TOWEL FROM THE TOP FLOOR OF THE NORTH TOWER ON SEPTEMBER 11TH 2001.)

NOT BEING AMERICAN I CAN GIVE AN OBJECTIVE VIEW, GIVE ME YOUR TIRED AND WEARY FROM THE ELLIS ISLAND QUEUE . DRIVING IN FROM KENNEDY, THOSE EARLY IMMIGRANTS CROWD THE INTERSTATE. AT CALVARY AND MOUNT ZION, THEY HAVE CREATED REALITY FROM DREAMS, AND YOUR AT ITS GATE. GIVE THEM LIBERTY , THE TYPE THAT TYRANNY CONFOUNDS. WHERE PEOPLE ARE FREE WONDERFUL ENERGY ABOUNDS. THEIR LEGACY TO US ARE THE BUILDINGS THAT STAND. ON THE ISLAND OF THE HILLS SO PROUD SO GRAND. THE THING THAT GRAPHICALLY ILLUSTRATES THIS SO WELL, SO FINE. IS THAT MAN MADE GRAPHIC EQUALIZER, THE MANHATTAN SKYLINE. TWO HIGH PEAKS ARE MISSING WHERE SYMBOLS ARE NORMALLY FOUND. WILL THE HARMONY BE BROKEN THE LOSS SO PROFOUND . IN ITS SPIRITUAL HOME MR LENNONS IMAGINATION STANDS PROUD AND TALL. FOR NEW YORK A RACIAL LIQUIDIZER , TEACHES TOLERANCE FOR ALL. MANY YEARS FROM NOW, WHAT WILL 9-11 MEAN , A DATE OF COURSE A NUMBER PERHAPS. STILL CONNECTING TO THOSE GUYS WEARING NYC DEPARTMENT BASEBALL CAPS. THE REST OF THE WORLD SINGS A CHORUS FROM THAT OLD SINATRA SONG. ITS UP TO YOU NEW YORK NEW YORK, WE KNOW IT WONT BE LONG. YOUR TEARS WILL DRY FOR THOSE HEARTS SO BRAVE AND TRUE. THAT’S WHY THE REST OF THE FREE WORLD LOVES THE RED WHITE AND BLUE. 


EVERY YEAR I COME BACK AND RUN THE NYC MARATHON (THIS YEAR NOV 7TH , RACE NUMBER 3794) WITH A MESSAGE ON MY CHEST IN SUPPORT OF YOUR WONDERFUL CITY. THIS TIME ITS “ NEW YORK…. RUNNING FOR THE UNFORGOTTEN AND THEIR FAMILIES”. FINALLY BACK IN ENGLAND THE YANKEES ARE NOT JUST A BASEBALL TEAM, NOT JUST NEW YORK CITY… BUT THE DEFINITIVE WORD TO DESCRIBE THE AMERICAN NATION. ON MARATHON DAY ONE MAN WILL PAY HOMAGE TO YOUR UNFORGOTTEN PAST WITH UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR YOUR DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS IN THE WORLD SERIES OF EVENTS, BOTH IN AND OUTSIDE BASEBALL TO SAY ………. GO YANKEES!!!!.

Dear Sir:
What a beautiful site. My compassion through my prayers are devoted to the present time, for me those people who died are now making contact with our love for ALL even though we never knew them in person, but they all are part of the "I am" that is our real energy.  This energy believe it or not attracts more love, they were part of the physical world for a time, nevertheless now that they are not around physically, they are living in our hearts forever and every tear that runs from our eyes expresses that they indeed are integrated in our present time; they are gone but not forgotten, we REMEMBER THEM!

My daughter Cristina was born September 12, 1975.  She always remembers the time we visited the Towers and admire them so much,  in our minds they still are in the same place, they were "things," they will be erased from the planet but not  from our minds.  They embrace innocent  people's past, and that past is not forgotten but integrated in our remembrance.

I am living in Ecuador, my country at present, and I wish from the bottom of my heart that my adored country  be added as well, we want to see our flag stay with the others.

Thank you very much for letting me express my feelings.

Marcelita Cabeza de Vaca    Ecuador

Bask beneath a sea of tears, muffled in the rain, tiny fingers linked to form a prayer to ease the pain,  Broken for a moment still, he heard from way above, A longing too from that he knew to somehow feel his love.   God reached down and held his hand, he felt it in his soul, and brushed the tears away again and gave a gentle pull, and then as if he were embraced the message sent was clear, that with our Lord our Father, was the one we held so dear.

That every word that's spoken and those we hold inside are never gone unnoticed even when our worlds divide,  that solace can be found again, even though we'll always grieve, and souls are reunited with the ones they had to leave

Never Forget.
God added many angels to his flock that day, and they watch over us now

Kirstin Turner  United Kingdom

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As 9-11 draws near, the people here in and around my little town are getting ready to remember the angels that left us that day. The day of this tragedy will never die in my heart nor in the hearts of all Americans. Everyone of us suffered and cried and stood in dismay that terrible day. I pray for all of the men and women who died for some unknown reason to me. My prayers and love go out to all of the families who lost a friend or family member. They may heal but they will never ever forget the day they lost the ones so dear to their hearts.  Please, as we remember the WTC, let us not forget the ones who died at the Pentagon, and at Shanksville, PA. 9-11 will always be in our hearts and minds, at least I know for myself it will be. Sending love and prayers to all of our servicemen and women who are serving to protect us!!

I will never forget.  I want to apologize from the bottom of my heart for your loss and our countries loss.  I was at college when I first heard about the attacks.  I thought that someone was playing a joke or watched way to many movies.  I couldn't believe that anything like that would happen here.  When I walked into the chapel service that we had at school we were told of the attacks.  I was shocked, astonished, hurt, and angry.  Shock came first.  How could this happen?  Did we know who did this?  Why?  Hurt came next.  My heart hurt for all those that were in the buildings, the pentagon, and on Flight 93.  I prayed that they were taken fast...So the pain wouldn't be the last thing in their memory.  I felt the loss that the families were feeling. How could we lose so many in hatred.  They were fellow Americans that had lives, family, and dreams. The last was anger.  I wanted those that inflicted this pain and hurt against the people of my counry to pay for what they had done.  I wanted them to be hurt the way that they hurt us.  Then I realized that I wanted to hurt others that had family, friends, lives, and dreams.  I wanted to take someone else's life for those who were taken from me.  That is the hardest part about the attacks.  The loss, the anger, and hatred for those that did this.  I can not handle all of the hate that is controlling this world. It is sad and heartbreaking.  People wanting to take another life from someone every day.  My prayers go out to all of the families of 9/11.  I can never take the pain away, but their memory will live in my heart forever.
 
To the Firefighters, EMS, Police Officers, I would like to thank you for taking it upon yourself to run into those towers to save lives.  You risk yours everyday.  Thank you for giving yourself unconditionally.  You are always in my heart and prayers.  May the blessings of the Lord keep you safe always.

My daughter was murdered on July 15, 2001, just a few short weeks before 9/11. She died in a domestic violence attack that should never have been.  At that time I was also working for a US Airline, and so when 9/11 occurred it wounded me deeply, that others were to suffer the pain and sadness I too was experiencing.

I raise Teddy bears to honor my daughters life, as a birthday gift for her each year, and see that the various agencies are supplied with them to give to victims families at a time they are sorely needed. Something to hold on to and to center with.

This year I am forgoing the normal tea party to use the funds to raise more bears, and to take what I am able to gather to give to FDNY to use to help victims. If your readers can help, they should send the bears or funds to us to help.

Five Years on this September 11th, I remember waking up to a beautiful day.  The sky so blue and the air so clear.  But that changed by one phone call.  My son in law who worked at tower two called me and asked me to put on the news.  He was informed that a plane or something hit tower one.  Told to wait to further confirmation, he remained in his office.  He then hung up abruptly.. When I found out which was in an instant, I called him back to tell him what had happened.  I could not reach him.  The family did not know what had happened to him.  As we watched the falling towers, I remember so vividly screaming out. "Oh God, there all dead!"  Where is my son-in-law!" Hours passed and we still didn't know.  But he was one of the miracles, he made it out just before tower two fell.  The relief was a lifted burden. Yes, we thanked every possible higher power, but we mourned those who didn't live.  Celebration was not something to do when almost thousands died.  A friend, who was a fire fighter went to save as many as he could.  He died with the crumbling of those beautiful towers that shined in awe on that beautiful day.  The gray cloud of dust and ashes of those angels filled the air and left us with a dark cloud in our heart.  A day we will never forget as long as we live.  This horrific day changed our lives and the way we view it.  Our freedom can never be taken advantage of and we must keep vigilant so this may never happen to our City and the rest of the United States.  My son in law has learned to take every day and make the best out of it.  For your life can change forever in an instant. For our "World Trade Center Angels"  I pray that you rest in peace and know that your death was ours as well.  God Bless You.
