Thank you so much for putting this gallery together! It is very important to view, experience, REMEMBER, and cogitate about what this really means to our country, people, selves. I heard of this Internet gallery from the Director of FEMA on the Today Program 9/10/02 0r would never have thought to look at this web site. It is compelling.

We need to remember - not forgive - not become complacent - this was an act of WAR - where's the outrage!?

We don't need to try to understand, we need to get behind our President - he will lead us through this terrible period of our history. Why can't Americans see that he is genuine in his beliefs, his conviction, his valor, his leadership! United We Stand - is NOT supposed to be an empty statement emblazoned on T-shirts - it needs to become a way of life until these terrorists are hunted down and brought to justice. Don't we owe this to those who perished on 9-11-01?

To those who helped our injured at our biggest time of need I pray for all of you daily. For our arm forces I am proud of you. My father lost his life for this country in Germany of 1945 and I know if he had of lived he would be just as proud of all of you as I am. For our President I wish it was in his power to do to those responsible as President Roosevelt did to Japan. How are we to stop all this sneaky evil doing if not by destroying those who have done this. I realize that the most to be injured will be women and children. But if you look to all wars in our history it was always the way it was. I am a good Christian but again we (all of us and our President need to nip this in the bud now). I truly believe as the bible says "an eye for an eye". I spent a good 20 minutes looking at you photos and it seems I had forgotten how devastating it all looked, but I will say it has refreshed my memory. Thank you for them. I am praying that we will not be surprised tomorrow with many other small or large disasters. I know that this country will never forget September 11, 2001. This is the closest we have come to a war in our country since the civil war, I hope Americans realize that war is coming to this country slowly but surely. It will not be brother against brother this time; but it will destroy our homeland quicker then the civil war ever did. It will not be fought man to man but button to button that someone will push. But I am still with our President 100% with his decision to put a halt to this madness. I want to thank you for reading this.

I had no idea of the breadth and depth of support and services that FEMA actually provides in time of disaster. Thanks for all your wise and compassionate leadership to all in need. What we all need to do now is create a place of peace in our hearts...because our outer world mirrors our inner world. If we perpetuate the attitude of revenge and bitterness, we will just draw it back on ourselves again. I am hopeful that this next year will draw us closer to peace and not drop us deeper into a dark place we'll have even more regret for....by this I mean....I am opposed to an attack on Iraq. I fear the most horrendous repercussions on our own dear shores.

I am sitting here with tears in my eyes.

We were living in Parker, Colorado with our then eight week old son. That morning I had just gone downstairs to the family room with the baby in my arms. I sat down and turned on the television only moments before the second tower was struck. It took a few seconds to realize that what I was seeing was really happening and it was happening on US soil. Like so many new parents at the time, I wondered what kind of world we had brought our son into.

Now, a year later, the pain, although dimmer, is still there. How I wished I had never turned on the television. I want the pain of what I witnessed to continue dimming but I'm not so sure that I ever want it to completely disappear. I don't want to let myself get into the comfort zone of taking my American freedoms for granted ever again.

God Bless our military, our leaders and our people.
