the victims and heroes of Tuesdays attack an album has been created in the multi-media section with some of the many heart wrenching pictures that have been posted here. If anyone has some to contribute it will be my honor to post them. It has been a learning experience being part of your lives through this site and I have grown because of it. People here in Canada that I talk to about this don't understand it the way I do because most haven't read what I have read here or talked to the people I have talked to here. I also feel very helpless being as far away as I am. Saving these pictures for you is a way I can say Canada cares,I care and God Bless America.

You should see what's going on in front of my house!!!!!!! It started at about 7:30 with a few people with lite candles standing on the street corner. It quickly grew to over 100 people with candles, flags and fireworks al honnoring the dead/injuried by the terrorist attack. Cars are honking, police are yelling "God Bless the USA" over their PA's, etc, etc. I even lead a group of 50 people in a chant of USA and America. This has been going on for more than 2 1/2 hours. Granted it is starting to get a little out of hand, but not to bad......yet. I have never seen so much supprt for anything like this in my community before. Makes me proad to be an AMERICAN right now!! sgtar15 |

Thanks Striker. Support from our friends to the north is much appreciated. sgtar15, that sorta thing is going on around here too. Last night when I got home from Web Shooters we took the kids to Chuck E Cheese. On the way home we passed not one... not two... but THREE large groups of people holding lit candles and waving AMERICAN flags. Horns honking all over the place! When we got home I grabbed a flag and the wife grabbed some candles and we went back to join them. I don't recall seeing this kind of patriotism in my lifetime, even during the Gulf War. Makes me proud of my country and my neighbors! [img]www.ar15.com/members/albums/Big%5FBear%2Fmommylibertycolor%2Ejpg[/img] |
