I didn't even know this site existed - God Bless! - I was there on W33rd that morning - as I and my stage crew (off Broadway) rushed down the street, I saw the faces of my sons on every one of them - I stayed in the city 28 days doing what I could - and how it SICKENS me that the nation has been so scarred by the Bush administration

Nobody will ever know the underlying harm that awful day did to the majority of Americans living at that awful day in history. I am now into 6 years of this sadness and some days it can be just overwhelming. I had to stop watching anything with the Twin Towers and the city of New Yorks response to that awful day. I will never forget the telephone call at 7:45 a.m. from my friend in Orlando, 'turn on the TV Greg'. That was all she could say to me. I did and I saw the 2nd plane hit the building. I honestly thought it was a movie. I asked her, 'is this real'? My eyes and my brain unable to register what I saw before my eyes. IT pains me the way this country has gotten off the track so much by this lousy war and trumped up ideas of what we are fighting for. I cry and hurt when one of my soldiers falls either in death or injury. IT is so wrong that we ever went there. I see that the people of that region want to have freedom but are not willing to die for it in a battle, car bombs are just a cowardly thing to me, just like flying huge bombs of petro and jet fumes into 110 storey buildings. SO misguided they are in their veiled hatred of all things decent and honorable. The men and women that died that day, all of them, gay or straight or bisexual, they are grieved for still and so much has not changed. We are not any safer, we think we are. I wish to convey my sincere feelings of remorse and sorrow for your losses. All of you deserve to be loved and to have the men and women you lost with you. I am just so glad I found this site. I found it quite by accident and I am very honored to show you that you are not forgotten nor will you ever be. My beloved mother was living at that awful time and I lived in fear to mention what had happened. To the day she died in May 2004, I am not sure she fully grasped the things we saw that day. Did any of us understand or grasp just what had been taken from you and I, all of us? I never will feel secure in my own land again, never as the day is long, I cannot without thinking now , when I am in huge crowd, I wonder. " IS this the time a nutjob is going to hurt me or thousands like me'? YOU cannot truthfully say to me, it does not cross your mind too. I thank the heroes of 9/11 and I thank God we live in a country where we can honor them and their memories. They are not lost, as Ronald Reagan said when the 'Challenger' blew up. They reached out and touched the face of God, so did your men and women. Greg Rabon

It was terrible. I live in Scandinavia. But when it happened I was ½ a mile from the towers. I stll pray for all the brave men, and a really fantastic gay friend who also died that day. John

Abe compiled several poems on the subject of 9/11; and commented, "I wish I'd never had to write them!"

always a sad anniversary -- I was right here and watched it happen (in New York) that day. The only good things to come out of it were the heroes (gay, lesbian, and heterosexual) I can always be proud of. -Joe (Queens, NY)
