Welcome

Welcome to my blog. I update this as often as I can with news that you might not see on the major networks as my main focus. I welcome any and all comments, and I have content at the bottom of the page everyday. Personal blurb: My personal belief is that the US Constitution's first amendment (which talks about the freedom of speech) extends to the Internet. For this reason, I have the comments setting set up to have comments go up immediately. If you comment anonymously, you will have to go through a word verification step. I will keep the setting as-is as long as the comments are kept 'G' rated. Thanks and I hope you keep coming back.

Remembering 9/11, A Decade On

The ceremony in Lower Manhattan focuses, as it has in years past, on a three-hour reading of the names of those who perished exactly 10 years ago in the terrorist attacks.



 Family members whose loved ones perished at the towers will recite the names, and a host of officials will deliver readings. The ceremony will pause for silence at six different times, marking the moments when the four planes struck and the two towers collapsed.


A day of remembrance begins Sunday morning at 8:35 a.m. EST with a somber ceremony at the World Trade Center site and continues across the U.S.
This year, for the first time, family members and other participants will visit the new National September 11th Memorial, which opens to the public on Monday. President Barack Obama will participate, joined by former President George W. Bush, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and other political leaders. The president is also set to visit Shanksville, Pa., and the Pentagon, where he will lay wreaths to honor the lives lost.
