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.
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...
