Perhaps they are glad that their loved ones are not being forgotten. Perhaps they don't like the repeated rememberances. But I'd bet it is the former, mostly.<BR/><BR/>Regarding Katrina, etc. We need to know how much of a gap there is between the promises and the deliverance of help. And we need to know that a wide area was affected, not just New Orleans. <BR/><BR/>There are floods going on all over the country and I do wonder if those people are getting any help.LoieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977264499770654307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357507.post-2488953725261944582007-09-15T07:47:00.000-05:002007-09-15T07:47:00.000-05:00Politics aside :) -- I don't care for the commemor...Politics aside :) -- I don't care for the commemorations either -- for a totally different reason. I was 7 months pregnant on 9/11 -- and then spent the next few months happily ignoring all of it while I rocked my baby and stayed home. When I went back to work, I had nightmares for nearly a year -- a mild PTSD reaction to the horror and fear of being away from my children. Once the anniversary rolled around, guess what started again? The nightmares. I can't imagine what the news coverage does to those way more impacted by this.<BR/><BR/>I always remember Fr. Susa telling us "God is not American!" -- something it seems your geographical region wouldn't believe!!tomzgrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16565112745553352354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357507.post-14304765871042942962007-09-11T21:38:00.000-05:002007-09-11T21:38:00.000-05:00I couldn't agree more with your observations about...I couldn't agree more with your observations about 9/11 and Katrina/Rita.
