Global Community Mourns 9-11

Beams of light mark the spot of the missing towers.
Although this is a food site, it is much more than that we are a Global Community and each of us is expierencing saddness on the anniversary of that tragedy against all mankind 6 years ago on 9-11.
We all were deeply touched that day and the days following and weeks following instilling fear in most. We as a family were deeply touched by this tragedy taking several friends and nearly taking some others that fateful day. We all know someone who knew someone who knew someone lost that day.
I ask that we each in our way have a moment of silence in memory of all those lost and their families. Someone is without a husband, wife, mother, father, brother, sister, cousin, friend after that day six years ago.
