A Great Nation Wept Today With Many Tears. A Great Nation Wept Today Amidst Their Fears. A Great Nation Stood Today Shoulder To Shoulder. A Great Nation Stood Today Their Enemy Bolder. A Great Nation Watched Today An Enemy Unseen. A Great Nation Watched Today An Enemy Now Seen. A Great Nation Vowed Today Heads Held High. A Great Nation Vowed Today With Rallying Cry! A Great Nation Shouted Today Our Dead Will Live On. A Great Nation Shouted Today Heros, Not Gone. A Great Nation Remembers Today And Will Not Forget. A Great Nation Remembers Today And Will Not Forget. A Great Nation Wept Today But Did Not Falter. A Great Nation Wept Today But Did Not Falter. A. L. Griffiths 15 Sept 2001 |

| Twin columns of light evoking the fallen towers of the World Trade Centre beamed skyward at nightfall,
March 11th, 2002, the six month anniversary. The temporary memorial, "Tribute in Light", a block from Ground Zero, was illuminated for thirty-two days, dusk to 11:00 p.m. |

132 aircraft from Europe were diverted to Canada’s east coast, 83 jets to Newfoundland, 14,000 passengers, 6,132 of whom landed at Gander, population 10,000. Homes, schools and churches were opened for all these saddened, confused people, mostly American, but also those from 40 different countries. The rink was filled with tonnes of donated food. Soon Gander had to ask for outlying villages to help too and the villagers quickly opened their homes and hearts. Women cooked through the night while men gathered donations of bedding, prayers were said with the ones who feared for their missing family members, hugs and tears shared by all. Dubbed the Great Canadian Sleepover, many children lent blankets and pillows from their own beds. It was several days before all could return to their countries. Who paid for this? No, not the government. It was done without anyone asking for money, it was done because people were in need and that is what friends do for friends. |
