From here in England, my very best wishes to all in the US who were hurt in any way by this event ten years ago, and ignore the people grubbing up the political capital. Just remember and reflect in whatever way suits you best.

But, we must remember it's not just about the 343 firemen, included in the 420 some civil servants, but the other 2500 people that didn't make it out. It's about the hundreds of guys who climb on to their truck every day with a blank expression because they lost guys off their crew. It's about the inrreplaceable people lost from their families, and the grief still felt today. That's 9/11...

I just see this as people taking something and blowing it totally out of proportion, but hey, thats just imo.

Its like telling sailors that their Pearl Harbor Anniversary memorial will be moved to 3 days before Christmas. It just doesn't have the same effect.

I think those involved in the decision need to visit Alice in Wonderland and be placed before the Queen of Hearts.
Just sayin'....
