9-11 A LEGAL HOLIDAY...PLEASE DON'T DELETE AND PASS IT
ON THANK YOU

This is an excellent idea......and to have come from a
teenager.... just think!!!!!!! ! An idea from the son of a 9/11
firefighter. .. So before you delete this, just remember that this is a
14 year-old boy who lost his father on September 11th. All you're asked
to do is type, point and click. He's got a really great idea, keep
reading.


Hello, I lost my Dad on September 11th; he was Chief
Edward Geraghty, Battalion 9, New York City Fire Department. He lost his
life with many other heroes that day, victims of the terrorists.
Firefighters from all over have come to the aid and rescue of the
tragedy in New York and Washington , D.C. Many firefighters lost their
lives to save s! omeone else's. Th e truth of the matter is, they do
this every single day. They truly are heroes. I know many people feel
helpless, especially those who live far from NYC and D.C. We all want to
do something to show our appreciation, our support! I think we can... In
honor of the bravery, courage and determination of American
firefighters, there should be a day in our nation to celebrate and
appreciate their hard-work and never-ending passion for saving lives.. I
think we should honor all those other heroes who still live today.

I'm starting a petition for a National Firefighters Day.
Will you help make every September 11th 'National Firefighters Day'?

Please join me! Thank you, Connor Geraghty, age 14,
Rockville Centre , New York . (I Love U, DAD!!)

American Sounds

Family Tradition

Background

Did you ever wonder where the Yellow Ribbon Support Tradition came from? Many think it came from the 
1973 Tony Orlando and Dawn all-time classic: “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree.” ( Lets be real )

Actually it came from the Classic 1949 Movie with John Wayne " Round Her Neck She Wore A Yellow Ribbon "
directed by John Ford that stars John Wayne and Joanne Dru  in which the female lead Wore the Yellow Ribbon
 to express her undying love for a cavalry officer.

So at FT. Campbell in Jan 1979, the Avionics Platoon came up with having the women wear the Yellow Ribbons 
at first around their wrist, then attached to their cars

On November 4, 1979, Iranian revolutionaries seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran and held 
Ambassador Bruce Laingen and the rest of the embassy staff hostage.

When the Iran hostage situation happen a lady up north tied the Yellow Ribbon around a tree, 
and then people started tying the yellow ribbon around everything they could, 
Someone came up with yellow ribbon pins and bumper stickers
By 1980 with the hostage situation, the Yellow-Ribbon Support was known world wide.
So to the Avionics Platoon of 1979 at Ft. Campbell, KY. . . Thank-you

However many people would rather  believe the Folk Lore, so here is the Northern Version:

Please Keep The Candle Going..... I asked God for water, he gave me an ocean. I asked God for a flower, he gave me a garden. I asked God for a tree, he gave me a forest. I asked God for a friend, he gave me YOU. "There is not enough darkness in the world to put out the light of one candle."  The Candle of Love, Hope and Friendship This candle was lit on the 11th of September, 2001. Someone who cares about you has helped keep it alive by sending it to you. Please pass it along to someone you care for, too.  "A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle"     ************************** Subject:  PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!! IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT.  I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or his culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in  patriotism by the majority of Americans. However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct" crowd began  complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others.  I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to America. Our population is almost entirely comprised of descendants of immigrants.  However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of America being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity.  As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle.  This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.  We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language! "In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right-wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, a fact which is abundantly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture. If the Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle.  Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his opinion, and we will allow you every opportunity to do so. But once you're done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other great American freedom: THE RIGHT TO LEAVE. We welcome everyone to our country with open hands who wish to live the American life, however if you prefer the way things are where you used to live. . .  then you should live there. *****************************   If you have any ideas of how to better support our troops, please contact us at yellow ribbon support, and please be sure to tell everyone about the Yellow Ribbon Support for all our loved ones I want you to close your eyes and picture in your mind the soldier at Valley Forge, as he holds his musket in his bloody  hands.   He stands barefoot in the snow, starved from lack of food, wounded  from months of battle and emotionally scarred from the eternity away from his  family surrounded by nothing but death and carnage of war.   He stands  tough, with fire in his eyes and victory on his  breath.  He looks at us now  in anger and disgust and tells us this...I gave you a birthright of freedom born in the Constitution and now your children  graduate too illiterate to read it. I fought in the snow barefoot to give you the freedom to vote and you stay at home because it rains. I left  my family destitute to give you the  freedom of speech and you remain silent on critical issues, because it might be  bad for business. I orphaned my children to give you a government to serve you and it has stolen democracy from the people. It's the soldier  not the reporter who gives you the freedom of the press. It's the soldier  not the poet who gives you the freedom of speech. It's the soldier not  the campus organizer who allows you to demonstrate. It's the soldier who  salutes the flag, serves the flag, whose coffin is draped with the flag that  allows the  protester to burn the flag!!! When you receive this, please stop for a   moment and say a prayer for our U.S.  ground troops in Afghanistan, and the  ones facing deployment to Iraq at this very moment - AND all over this  world.  Of  all the gifts you could give a US  Soldier, Prayer is the very best one... [Jim Bourdon] Check our special page for other God Bless America Sites  www.prayeristheanswer.com a profound message of prayer and love for our   military.   We are getting together a Yellow Ribbon Campaign for our Troops.   Thanks for all your support!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

The Picture above is what the  USS NEW YORK Looks like

USS New York

It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center .

It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft..

Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite , LA to cast the ship's bow section. When it was poured into the molds on Sept. 9, 2003, 'those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence,' recalled Navy Capt.. Kevin Wensing, who was there. 'It was a spiritual moment for everybody there.'

Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the 'hair on my neck stood up.' 'It had a big meaning to it for all of us,' he said. 'They knocked us down. They can't keep us down. We're going to be back.'

The ship's motto? 'Never Forget'
