[OT] where were you 9/11?

[optimus234 at hotmail.com (Kevin S)]

Don't feel ashamed that you were glad not to be in the tower. Im sure a lot of people were glad they weren't the ones in the tower. As long as you feel for the people that suffered. Don't let what happened be forgotten and that freedom isent free.
