Subject: 027XX. Observances to Mark Sept. 11
Anniversary
By Linda D. Kozaryn
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23, 2002 -- A year ago, the World
Trade
Center's Twin Towers stood tall on the New York City
skyline, people at the Pentagon barely noticed the
planes
flying low overhead, and a rural field southeast of
Pittsburgh was just a field.
A year ago, more than 2,800 people in the World Trade
Center, 125 Pentagon personnel, and 220 airline
passengers
were still alive. A year ago, the nation was not at
war
against terrorism.
Today, the Twin Towers are gone, people at the
Pentagon
notice the approach of each low-flying plane, and that
farm
field in Somerset County, Pa., is now a historical
site.
Today, the families of those who died in the terrorist
attack on America's homeland continue to grieve their
losses.
Soon, the nation and the world will commemorate the
first
anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the
United
States. Observances are planned in New York City and
Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon.
In New York City, plans call for bagpipe and drum
processions to march toward the World Trade Center
site
from each of the city's five boroughs. They will be
led by
the pipe and drum corps of the New York Fire, Police,
Corrections and Sanitation departments, and Port
Authority
of New York and New Jersey.
The joining of processionals will mark the start of a
memorial service that will last 102 minutes -- the
amount
of time it took before both towers fell.
A moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. will mark the time
hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the
World
Trade Center's north tower. New York Gov. George E.
Pataki
will then read Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address."
Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani is slated to lead New
Yorkers
and people from around the world in reading the names
of
the 2,823 people from 90 countries who died at the
World
Trade Center. Taps will be played after the names have
been
read.
New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey is to read from the
Declaration of Independence. Another moment of silence
at
10:29 a.m. will mark the time the World Trade Center's
north tower collapsed. Houses of worship will then
toll
their bells.
President Bush is scheduled to visit the World Trade
Center
site later that afternoon. At sunset, heads of state
from
around the world will gather at The Sphere in Battery
Park,
where an eternal flame will be lit. Pataki will read
Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms."
Each of the five boroughs plans to have 90-minute
candlelight gatherings, and commemorative concerts are
slated at parks throughout the area. New York City
officials are asking people everywhere to light
candles and
join families and neighbors on street corners or in
front
of their homes.
In Stonycreek Township, Somerset County, a memorial
service
will be held near the temporary memorial site on
Skyline
Road. A community memorial concert featuring
traditional
hymns, patriotic songs and original arrangements is
scheduled at the Somerset Alliance Church.
The Pittsburgh Symphony has scheduled a memorial
concert at
the city's Heinz Hall to pay tribute to the heroes of
Sept.
11. Tickets cost $50 and net proceeds will benefit the
Somerset County Flight 93 Memorial Fund. Postal
officials
in Shanksville, Pa., will hold an opening ceremony at
the
Boulevard of Heroes Station.
The Defense Department has planned a one-hour ceremony
at 9
a.m. at the Pentagon Phoenix Project site, the area
damaged
in the attack. The ceremony will not be open to the
general
public.
President Bush, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld
and
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Air Force Gen.
Richard B. Myers are slated to speak at the Pentagon
ceremony.
Pentagon officials will unfurl the large U.S. flag on
the
side of the Pentagon where it was flown after the
attack. A
moment of silence at 9:37 a.m. will mark the time
American
Airlines Flight 77 hit the building.

All in all sounds nice...if they really listen to what's being read...what a difference it could make...if only one person on each plan had been carrying a loaded weapon..what a difference it would have made
