A few of us at the office the other day were comparing the different human stories we had heard during the various news coverage of the terrorist attacks on America. We all had a story that someone else hadn't heard, so we wanted to create a forum for people to share stories and experiences about their loved ones; about the many heroic acts, and to express their feelings. These stories aren't getting the coverage they deserve. While no one is at fault for that, we wanted to do what the major networks couldn't do. We wanted to just do our small part. We have created a website to learn about those who lost their lives in the trajedy, heroic acts performed, or just to share thoughts of sympathy. We would appreciate your mentioning this, and will be reciprocating. Thank you so much. http://www.LastingSpirits.com/

Glad to see your site is out there. I work for a radio station and recently put together a musical memorial for the victims to the tune of "Dust in the Wind"...you've probably heard similar tributes to the songs "Angel" and "God Bless the U.S.A."

If you are willing, I am attempting to make this available to anyone who wants it. I will post it on Napster as soon as file sharing is re-enabled there, it is in my Shared Directory at audiogalaxy.com....although I am told it may take up to a week before anyone searching for it is able to find it. It will soon be on Morpheus as well...title to look for is "Dust in the Wind (Infamy Mix)" with "Hits 105.5 Remembers" as the artist. I will also send it direct via ICQ to anyone who "sees" me online and asks for it. My ICQ# is 68376604. Thank you and God bless...in these trying times, it is our unity in America that will see us through.

Dear Webmaster of Cry for Reason! We are deeply shocked by the terrible acts of aggression. We are personally concerned and we would like to show our sympathy from deep within our hearts to our US-friends and the american people. Especially many many people here in Berlin are in grateful sorrow. We have done the song America the Beautiful from our hearts and we canceld all our works in the sound studio and business dates - this song is only for the victims, not for ourselfs. We dont want any credits of our names! - Its a small light of hope from Berlin in memory of the painful tragedy and a sign, that our friends in the United States of America are not alone! mp3 music link, you can use it for free on your homepage, spread it on the internet or whatever you like to: http://www.nordwestmusic.com/michael_tyronne___america_the_beautyful.mp3 In silent memory, Thomas (Linz/Austria), Michael (Berlin/Germany)

PLEASE MR. PRESIDENT AND ALL MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNMENT, DONT LET HATRED AND REVENGE GUIDE YOU!!!

YOU WILL ONLY CREATE MORE HATRED, REVENGE, VIOLENCE, WAR. THIS WILL NOT SOLVE ANYTHING. IT WILL ONLY MAKE THINGS WORSE!!!

FIND THE GUILTY ONES, BY MEANS OF JUSTICE, AND PROTECT YOURSELF, AS GOOD AS YOU CAN, BUT DONT GO WASTING MORE INNOCENT BLOOD, BECAUSE YOU WILL CREATE A HATRED THAT WILL NEVER GO AWAY AGAIN. IF YOU DONT THINK A THOUSAND TIMES NOW, YOU WILL REGRET IT LATER!!!

DONT CHOOSE WAR, EVEN THOUGH OTHERS DO. STICK TO WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN. IF THIS TRULY IS: FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY (WHERE IS THE WORD "PEACE"?) YOU SIMPLY CANNOT GO WASTING INNOCENT BLOOD TO REVENGE YOUR OWN.

HOWEVER TERRIBLE IT IS THAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU, YOUR COUNTRY, YOUR PEOPLE, AND BELIEVE ME, I AM DEEPLY SHOCKED AND I FEEL STRONGLY FOR ALL THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, BUT IF YOU DONT EMPLOY A LOT OF WISDOM AND TRUTH NOW, YOU MAY REGRET IT FOR THE REST OF ALL OUR LIVES.

YOUR ARE A CHRISTIAN, ARE YOU NOT? THEN READ YOUR BIBLE, AND YOU WILL FIND: IF SOMEONE HITS YOU ON ONE CHEEK, TURN HIM THE OTHER, AND: LOVE YOUR ENNEMIES. I KNOW THIS IS A VERY, VERY TOUGH THING TO DO RIGHT NOW, STILL I AM ASKING YOU TO AT LEAST TRY. BECAUSE I AM SURE: HATRED WILL ONLY CREATE MORE HATRED, REVENGE WILL ONLY CREATE MORE REVENGE.

ONLY A PEACEFUL ATTITUDE WILL CREATE PEACE, ONLY LOVE CAN CREATE LOVE. HOWEVER HARD THIS MAY BE IN A TIME LIKE THIS, ITS THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT WORSE.

IF YOU START BOMBING OTHER COUNTRIES NOW, WHERE WILL IT END? WHEN WILL YOU STOP? THEY WILL STRIKE BACK. AND YOU WILL AGAIN. ETCETERA, ETCETERA. EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE TO "DESTROY WHOLE STATES" (AS I READ IN THE NEWSPAPER - WHAT A TERRIBLE THING TO EVEN SAY) THERE WILL BE OTHER STATES & PEOPLE THAT WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU. WITH YOUR BOMBS, YOU WILL SOW HATRED FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, OUR LIVES, AND LONGER.

PLEASE, THINK A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE YOU ACT!!! > FOR AS YOU SOW, SO YOU WILL REAP!

DONT TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WERE TREATED!!!
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE SACRIFICES, PLEASE SACRIFICE YOUR HATRED, YOUR LONGING FOR REVENGE, YOUR LONGING TO STRIKE BACK AND KILL, YOUR LONGING FOR WAR. DONT SACRIFICE MORE INNOCENT LIVES, IT SIMPLY ISNT WORTH IT.
TRY AND FIND THE TRUE CAUSES OF VIOLENCE AND WAR.
YOU CANNOT DESTROY EVIL BY DESTROYING OTHER PEOPLE. LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF TO FIND "THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL". ITS INSIDE OF US ALL. AND WE CAN ONLY CHANGE IT BY STARTING WITH OURSELVES.
TRY AND FIND THE TRUTH, WHATEVER SHE MAY BE.
MAY GOD GUIDE YOU AND BE WITH YOU. MAY PEACE AND LOVE GUIDE YOU AND BE WITH YOU. MAY OUR PRAYERS BE WITH YOU ALL.
GOD BLESS ALL LIVING CREATURES AND HELP THEM TO CREATE PEACE ALL OVER THE WORLD.

In Memory of the innocent people who died today i have made this black ribbon. also i have changed the start page of my website to black with white text. i urge all those with web sites to do the same, you may also link to my site at the address of www.teamrocketgym.com/memory.htm lets band together and show our support. please pass this message on to all of those you know. and when you forward this message please clean up any extra text like the quote marks and stuff like that and remove all headers so as to not make the letter longer than it need be....

Although this is a tragedy of mega proportions, it has pulled all of us as Americans together in a closeness that will make a force to be reckoned with as a Mighty Nation! I for one am very proud to be an American!!!!!

To all our friends south of the border, please know our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this tragic time. Believe in the power of the human spirit and its ability to overcome unbelievable hardships. Our actions and the choices we make now to deal with this tragedy will determine if the terrorists have actually won. Do not let them win, do not let them change our faith in humanity.
With love, Carrie Nuttley

I 'm very shocked about what happened in New York and Washington. When I came home from school yesterday the TV was on. When I saw what happened I didn't know what to say... I hope all the people who were near the Twin Towers or the Pentagon at the time of the crashes all the luck and health they need. I wish there was something I could do, but on the other hand I know that a girl like me can't do anything. I wish all people of the United States of America everything they need. That's all I can do at the moment. I condolences everybody who has lost a friend, family member, college, someone you know or anyone else. I hope the people who did this will know how many people the killed and I hope they see how much everybody hates them! I hope the consequences of this act won't be to bad. War or a crisis would be disastrous for the whole world! Once again I really condolences everybody involved with this disaster. I hope everything will be over soon and who did this will be found!
Lots of love and greetings from Marlijn Peeters, Holland

My thoughts and prayers are with each and every person involved in the tragedy as well as their families and friends. Let us take this time to pull together as a country and help one another physically and emotionally as we all need support now. As it has been said, " This will not stop us" and I believe we will prevail.

I have been glued to the T.V. since yesterday morning, my heart goes out to all the family's of the lost people and hurt ones too. I do not understand why this has happened but it is a big tragedy, I only hope that all can be put back together, if I had anything to give I would give it in a heart beat. I am going to go and donate some blood hoping that it can get there for the people that need it..Again I send my deepest sympathy to all at there time of lost and need.

To my fellow Americans - we will get through this and be stronger. To the friends and families of those lost and those still with us- God and love are on your side. To the Fire Fighters and EMS and Police- you are the heroes whose praises often go unnoticed thank God for you.
C. Henry, Ft. Worth, Texas

To America
Here in Ireland the feeling is one of disbelief and immense sorrow. To even try and comprehend what has just happened causes tremendous heartache. My sympathies and prayers go out to all the victims and their families and I pray that justice will be delivered. The images that I witnessed will remain with me forever but that pales in comparison to the emotional scars that America is facing. I pray that America will have the strength and wisdom to deal with this tragedy and rebuild faith in human nature.
God Bless America in her time of need.
Nikola, Dublin

My deepest sympathies are with those who have lost loved ones on this terrible day in history. I have never been so proud of the United States than I am right now. By coming together we've told the rest of the world that you can try to hurt our innocent citizens us but you cannot break our spirits, take our freedom, or make us weaker. My praise goes out to the government officials. Thank you for not letting us down. I know we'll come come back stronger than ever.

I am so shocked and dismayed at the recent attacks in NY and Washington, DC. I watched the news and as they played over the attacks, the vivid images are ones that will be etched in my mind from time to come. I have never seen anything of this kind in my lifetime. The scenes on the television have made me shaken, to the point of crying. To think that it could happen here, in our nation, in our backyards. We had always heard of things of this sort happening overseas. But this has hit too close to home. Something has to be done, and I pray to the powers that be to give President Bush the strength to carry out what must be done. We as a country will stand together, to show that this will not divide us. I want to thank those firefighters, emergency workers and police officers who went above and beyond the call. God Bless and keep you in his care. We are a nation of strong people, and united we stand. God Bless America

To all of America, my prayers go out to one and all.
I pray for all our leaders and law enforcement, military, and for all the families of those lost. As an Oklahoman I can know just about what all the people in these places are feeling. I pray for the nation as a whole and pray that those responsible for this tragedy will be caught and soon. I know it won't bring back our loved ones, but knowing justice will be done in their names will bring some comfort to us all.

Dear Americans,
I am really shocked on this horrible terrorist's attacks on NY and Pentagon. The USA is the dream land of whole the world and every one wants to see USA. I hope that your strong nation will pass out of this test successfully. I am with you in this testing moment and wish that in future these kind of incidents may not occur.
With heartiest condolences.
Akhtar Ahsan, Pakistan

I am in Washington state and cannot begin to imagine the personal horror the people of NY, Pennsylvania, and Washington DC are experiencing. As a law enforcement officer myself, I wish to express my best wishes to all law enforcement, firefighters, and rescue workers, and especially the victims and their families. God Bless to all and my prayers are wish you all.
Donna Baskett, Vancouver, WA

Many of our friends, family, loved ones, and fellow men and women now walk with Angels. The nightmare is over for them but it has only begun for the survivors and citizens of America. My deepest sorrow goes out to everyone. Lets unite together to get through this tragedy; help each other, be patient with each other. Lets show the world our strength and faith. Fly our American flag in support of those who have lost their lives and for those who are willing to give their lives to prevent this tragedy from happening again.

In memory of Chris 9/11/2001:
"I'd rather be a ghost drifting by your side,
a condemned spirit, than enter heaven without you.
Though you've slipped the surly bonds of earth my love for you will never cease."
Brad

My heart and soul goes out to all of those who have lost loved ones do to such a cowardly act of violence. My prayers go out to this country. We must continue to stand together as one to keep this country strong. We must not let this act of violence destroy our faith in freedom. As for those who committed these cowardly acts of violence, America will live on and so will our freedom.
Pam

My heart goes out to all Americans, especially ones touched so significantly by the terrorists deeds this September 11. My prayers and thoughts are with all in every moment of my being. May God Help and Bless America!!
Kathy Perman Proud American from Wisconsin

Do not cry for their time will come, our Lord will repay them one by one.
We cannot change what is in the past but we can make the pain surpass.
Tomorrow will continue to come as long as we pray in unity, never give up faith it is our duty.
Angela

To the victims, families and friends of those involved in this tragedy my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you. In our time of sorrow we need to look to God to give us strength to continue on. It is times like this that we realize how seldom we tell our loved ones just how much they mean to us and how much they are loved. Don't be afraid to say the words and a 'hug' can say a thousand words. God Bless All of you and God Bless America.
