For those confused about the Silent Thread...

If you look at the original date, Fievel started it on September 12, 2001 when we realized the enormity of what had happened and the vigils had begun.

It's in honor of those who lost their lives on 9/11/01.

A bump and a reminder. Love to my Magic family today and always.

Thank you mightyduck. It was a day I'll never forget...

Thank you mightyduck. It was a day I'll never forget...

I am so thankful for having forum friends to comfort me as the news transpired. I will never forget the fear and sorrow I felt.

A lot of us have grown up and have real life that prevents us from being as active as we used to be. If seems we all come together on this day again. We forged a kinship that can't be broken that day.

It seems fitting that as I read the threads from that day I sit in the magic Kingdom waiting for the flag retreat ceremony....I thought it was important to be here for it on this day.

Oh, Fievel--that is amazing that you are there today. And yes, the bond we shared can't be undone. If you get a chance, read Gae Polisner's THE MEMORY OF THINGS, which came out this week. It was a difficult read for me because it brought so much back, but it is very much about how the tragic events of that day made family of strangers, whether those people continued to see each other regularly after that or not.

Here is today's flag retreat ceremony.
