please do post it. i am very interested in reading it, i was personally over there at the time having flown over new york two day before it happend, and got to see the effects it had on some americans who lived down south(myself included) but i would love to read from someone who lives alot closer.
as for uploading it thats something i am not so sure about sorry
and post it in this forum i believe

Scott, I would like to read it. Post it on or around the 2nd anniversary.
Maybe in the general forums.
I do freelance photography and have alot of on-site pictures I took, hundreds!!! I was able to gain access to ground zero for 5 days.
It was terrible to walk around in the aftermath. The smoke, the smell, the crying, the loss. I asked Pete about posting a few once and he said he did not see the harm.

Maybe you and I could do something. With your words and my pics.....?
Only a few small pics to enhance your story.

Let me know

I'm behind you both on this  8) ....if I can be of any assistance in bringing this to fruition, I will be happy to try and be of some help  ??? but not sure what I could do, if one of you has the images and the other has the written text ?  doesn't leave much to me ???.......
.........well, as long as its not more than three letter words and clipart web images, I'm still willing to lend my mouse...........

The one strong memory I have of that day, was listening to it on the Howie Radio Show.......on this day, even Stern was a pro and did a fine job of bringing this sad news to the world........even "he" almost cried on the air......

Fear not Bones..........with the present security levels, you will arrive safe and sound .......and will return home in the same manner.......... 8)

I would be interested to see it, but remember that we are an international forum, and adverse comments will be dealt with swiftly. Please keep things to the point and non-political.
However Scott I know that you write objectively, so I'll be interested to see your take on That Day. Having spent some of my childhood in NY I was shocked, and remember with horrific clarity the events that day.

As it is a piece about my own personal reflections on that day, it is filled with a few personal feelings on those responsible for the horrendous events we witnessed.

I'll leave it up to the moderators how they want to handle this. 

You can either decide for me to not post it at all, in which case I'll email it to anyone wishing to read it, or you can have me post it and let those who are willing to see it for what it is (and not be offended) read it.

The choice is up to you all.  I'm but a mere poster in the forum of life. 

Post it. What happened on September 11 2001 weakened me as a human being, but gave me the strenght to cry. I want to read it and Im sure millions around the world would want to too.

Jaffa, I'd love to read it.  I'll swap with ya.  lol

Out of curiosity, where are you?  I'm also about 200 miles from NYC, and a native New Yorker.  lol

Smallbany.

Scott, are you familiar with Loudensville? I think it is right outside of Albany.
I have good friends who live there.

I went to Albany this spring, to RPI.

MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL

You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news on September 11, 2001. Neither will I.

I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called his wife to say "Good-bye." I held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK...I am ready to go."

I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children.
I held her up as she tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn't coming home that night.

I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out to Me for help. "I have been knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!" I said."Of course I will show you the way home - only believe in Me now."

I was at the base of the building with the Priest ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard my voice and answered.

I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and assuring them that their faith has saved them.

I was in Texas, Kansas, London. I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name - though not all know Me.

Some met Me for the first time on the 86th floor.

Some sought Me with their last breath. Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the smoke and flames; "Come to Me... this way... take my hand."
Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me. But, I was there.

I did not place you in the Tower that day. You may not know why, but I do.

However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached for Me? September 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey for you.

But someday your journey will end. And I will be there for you as well.

Seek Me now while I may be found.

Then, at any moment, you know you are "ready to go."

I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

Remember, I love you

God

This a tribute to all those lost on that day. If it is offensive to anyone, I apologize...the moderators are welcome to remove this post if it's religious overtones offend people.
