Let us especially remember and pay tribute to the heroes of that day, many of whom gave up their lives attempting to help others. We may never know the true depth of the heroism that day, but I'm certain a higher force than us is aware.
We have all learned much since that day, but for me, on the 5th anniversary I want all of my thoughts on those that exhibited the very best of mankind. That's what I want to remember tomorrow.
I got this email the other day. I think it's a great idea to honor those who are gone:
Flag on 9/11
Fly the Flag on 9/11
Please join us in this FLY THE FLAG campaign and PLEASE forward this email immediately to everyone in your address book asking them to also forward it. We have a little less than one week and counting to get the word out all across this great land and into every community in the United States of America. If you forward this email to everyone in your address book and each of those people do the same... you get the idea.
The Program Is This: On Monday, September 11th, 2006, an American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States.
Every individual should make it their duty to display an American flag on this fifth anniversary of our country's worst tragedy. We do this in honor of those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms.
In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, our country was bathed in American flags as citizens mourned the incredible losses and stood shoulder-to-shoulder against terrorism. Sadly, those flags have all but disappeared. Our patriotism pulled us through some tough times and it shouldn't take another attack to galvanize us in solidarity. Our American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can prevail over terrorism of all kinds.
Action Plan: So, here's what we need you to do...
1. Forward this email to everyone you know. Please don't be the one to break this. Take a moment to think back to how you felt on 9/11/01 and let those sentiments guide you.
2. Fly an American flag of any size on 9/11. Honestly, Americans should fly the flag year round, but if you don't, then at least make it a priority on this day.
Thank you for your participation.
God Bless You and God Bless America.
