No. Way. :confused: That's despicable. Those people were probably in kindergarten when it happened.

I didn't think the Walmart one was quite as bad. I think they did mean it as a memorial, but still pretty tacky. They build stuff out of cases of pop for every holiday or event anyway.

9/11 is my birthday. It hasn't been the same since. Always a dark cloud that hangs over, so I do any birthday stuff either days before or after. I worked for Tricare on the Fort Hood army base in TX at the time. We spent the day on high alert wondering if the base would be targeted too. Largest military installation in America, I think.

That commercial was unbelievably despicable. Such a sad day in history, so many innocents lost there lives. The fire department here collected money for the victims and I believe sent men down to help. All those people who lost their lives along with their families are in my thoughts today. Still we have to forage ahead and live our lives as normally as possible.
Princess Diana, died on our wedding anniversary, a day of joy and sadness for me but life has to move forward in the most positive way I can muster.

Bad humor. Very bad humor. Stupid people, especially to try to profit off what was a terrible disaster for America.

A president was shot on my birthday.

I was young enough to think, "nobody is paying any attention to me!" I remember being sure not to say anything about it to the distracted people around me.

We ask these people to make sacrifices. Sometimes, there seems to be so very much that they have to go through.

Watching 911 on TV or reading about it very different then living thought it. I can remember getting on a train, soldiers where in each car with machine guns. All I could think was what good a machine gun in a bomb explosion.
