When 911 hit I lost a few people. I had a nightmare that people were coming into my home. Each time I looked my house got bigger and bigger, there were many rooms and people were climbing in the windows to get healed. There were so many hurt people. I said my house turned into a mansion. Later I heard this poem and it makes a lot of sense.

My Father's Mansion

My Father's mansion has many rooms with love for all his children.

As long as we do share his love,
And see that we are free.
And see that all are free to grow,
And see that all are free to know,
And free to open or close the door of their own room.

What is a room without a door,
Which sometimes locks and stand ajar,
What is a room without a wall,
To keep out sight and sound from all.

And dwellers in each room
should have the right to
choose their own design,
And colour schemes to suit their own,
Though differing from mine.

And each room has its own design,
To suit the owners state of mind,
And those who want them all the same,
Don't understand the human game.

My Family's mansions many rooms,
Have rooms for all his children,
If we do but share in his love,
And see that all are free,

The Choice is ours to share this earth
with all its many joys abound,
Or to continue as we have
and burn God's mansion down.

thank you for compiling these photos of this tragic day in the world's history. I have not visited the site in quite some time, I have had it bookmarked since the beginning.
Too bad the pride that was shown for our great country has faded for some. Some are treating the war as a long-running mini-series..... This is our new reality people.
We are living in war-times.

Be true,be caring,be respectful, everytime our flag is raised. Everytime you hear of an innocent life lost, and everytime you look at your safe,secure,daily life, and get down on your knees and count your blessings.

Sept 11th, 2001..should be in our minds everyday.
Thank you for this collection of photos. It serves as an ocean of knowledge to educate the world of the harshness of this world,but also reminds us of our blessings too.

Thank you and all of the contributors for creating such a memorial for the entire world to share. I appreciate the time it took and the angish you all must have experienced looking over the hundred of photographs you gathered.

We as Americans must remember the principles of our US Constitution in that our Nation was created "of the people, for the people and by the people." Our faith in our nation will not be undermined.

I enclose the following email I received a few weeks ago. It is a marvelous definition of who and what we are as American. The author is unknown other than the writer was Australian.

"What is an American?

You may have missed it, but recently there was a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American.

So, an Australian dentist wrote the following to let everyone know what an American is, so they would know when they found one (it seems like our Australian, British and Canadian friends are always at our side when we need them!).

An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian, or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani, or Afghan. An American may also be a Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans.

An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan. The only difference is that in America, they are free to worship as each of them chooses. An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that, he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.

An American is from the most prosperous land in the history of the world. The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes the God-given right of each man and woman to the pursuit of happiness.

An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need. When Afghanistan was overrun by the Soviet army twenty years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country. As of the morning of September 11, 2001, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan.

Americans welcome the best -- the best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best athletes. But they also welcome the least. The national symbol of America, The Statue of Liberty, welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest-tossed. These, in fact, are the people who built America. Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11, earning a better life for their families. I've been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least thirty other countries, cultures, and first languages -- including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.

So, you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did Stalin, and Mao, and every blood thirsty tyrant in the history of the world. But, in doing so, you would just be killing yourself, because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit and freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American."
