What will you do to promote the anniversary of that horrible day? This question is not intended to be a debate between political sides but to ask what you plan to do. I plan to wear a t shirt to work with the American flag at least.
 
My husband and I will spend some quiet time praying for the very dear friends we lost that horrible day.

Ted and Doug, we miss you, and love you.

We usually take some quiet time to reflect and say a prayer for the families and those lost. I sometimes go back and look at pictures, but it''s sad to do so. I sometimes don''t do a lot, mainly b/c I hate to dwell on terribly sad events, those people who were lost would not want us to stay sad forever, they''d want us to keep going, and I remind myself of that in any case where someone has died.
 
Our co-op lights candles along our stone wall/gardens. They usually last all day, through the night. Typically some of us will sit out there and share some wine...just talk.
 
I work south of Ground Zero in Manhattan and many of my colleagues worked here then. Some of us go to the ceremony but I usually just try to hear my friends here tell their stories of that day and read as many of the articles as I can. I have so many students in the military and I think I want to try to talk to all of them on Friday, too. Its a weird day in New York, this collective anxiety, you know? I don''t know if the lights will be lit again this year (the WTC looking ones. Anyone know?) but I''ve always appreciated seeing them.
 
I don''t really want to commemorate that tragic day in American history. I''d prefer to say a quiet prayer and go about my usual business. While I might someday visit Ground Zero, (no matter what they decide to put there), I would not actually go to a memorial there. I might attend a service at my own church; but not a public memorial.
 
My school lost several community members, faculty, graduates, a coach, a pilot, and a parent. We recognize their accomplishments and the tragedy of their death and try to rekindle the connection that we all felt those days after the event.
 
That day I sold my favorite horse... and, co-workers were next door at trainings... very sad, thankfiully they were all okay.. For sure, a very sad day...
