Calling All Bloggers
I know I am one tiny little person in the blogsphere, but one person can make a difference. I came across the post listed below via The Kept Woman. This is something we all can take the time and do. As Americans we must never forget 9/11. I am asking all four of you to help me do something about it. Click here or here for more information. I have a project and I need the help of a few bloggers to make it work. 2,995 bloggers. September 11, 2006 will mark the 5-year anniversary of the attacks that killed 2,996 innocent people on American soil. A few months ago I started wondering what, if anything, I would write in my blog that day. A remembrance? A tribute? Anything I came up with seemed shallow, cliché, not enough. About a week after the attacks the president ordered all flags returned to full-staff. This seemed too soon to me. A common practice for other deaths had been one day per victim. But when I realized that this would mean flying the flag at half-staff for over sixteen years (remember in those first days the death toll estimate was much higher) I realized that that sort of symbol wouldn’t be healthy for the country. Even with the actual death toll, one day at half-staff for each victim wouldn’t see the flag raised until November 24, 2009. But any idea I came up with gave me the same pause: Nothing I could do could possibly do tribute to all those people. And in the last five years I’ve heard precious little about the victims, but I’ve heard the names of the guilty over and over. Click the title to continue reading and find out more information.
