What are your plans on 9/11/2002?
« on: September 10, 2002, 09:32:23 AM »
Me...restock our emergency food, water and medicine (30 days supply of each) as I've done each year for the last 12 years.  I'm using 9/11 as a reminder date.  

Say an extra evening prayer with the kids before tucking them in.

I'll continue to fly my Country's flag as I've done since I bought my first house.(You see, I, like a handful of others, was flag waving before it became fashionable).

I'll avoid TV coverage of the events taking place, and I'll certainly avoid the vivid images that took place...as I am still "not over it".

I completely understand Rip, flag goes up in the morning, comes down at Dusk.  

Will not watch TV at all, in rememberence.  

I'll probably take Ian (1yr old) and my wife out to dinner in tribute, because I brought them both home from the hospital last 9/11.  

Plus, I'll log on and pass the time.

The Wife and I are going to rent a movie and try not to watch TV.  Any video suggestions out there? Was thinking about "We were Soldiers"

I found that movie pretty depressing

I'd think "Kate & Leopold" would be better. I know the wife would enjoy it more

As for us, no special plans - just alittle longer prayers/reflection as I remember those lost and give thanks for what I've been blessed with

Lol, you don't know my wife ;) She's an analyst working at the CIA, and loves a good war movie. But I'll take that under advisement

Might I suggest "Blood Beach" or "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" then.

I'll be going to school as usual. I'l also wear my "I'd fly 10,000 miles to smoke a camel" T-shirt. Later I'll say a prayer for those who we lost and those in harms way.
