                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I been in contact with some of the Examiners going to New York for the recovery phase. <BR> <BR>I realize that they are having a difficult time emotionally...and need our support. <BR> <BR>And this support could form a lasting friendship.  <BR> <BR>Since they are temporary federal employees...they can usually only RECEIVE messages...rather than send. <BR> <BR>But as you know...they are some of the unsung heroes as they are hidden away in the unglamorous world of identification.  <BR> <BR>Let&#039;s send them messages of support.  <BR> <BR>This is something we can do to help. Though we do work on Doe&#039;s...this is something beyond our means to help at this point. But I am sure there will be unidentifieds that remain after the mess is cleaned up. Maybe at that point we can be of further assistance. <BR> <BR>In the mean time...let&#039;s let these guys know that we appreciate their help......they often go unthanked. I have it on GOOD authority that THIS would be something that would be of comfort to these individuals. <BR> <BR>Place your comments here: <BR> <BR><A HREF="http://pluto.beseen.com/boardroom/c/56935/" TARGET="_top">http://pluto.beseen.com/boardroom/c/56935/</A> <BR> <BR>I have contacts in the area that will make sure they know where to look to receive these messages.  <BR> <BR>-Todd Matthews <BR>Media Director <BR>www.DoeNetwork.Org]]></content:encoded>

We don&#039;t know all these families personally, but we have met them through our tragedy and we all pray with you.  <BR> <BR>One thing we do know is our country as a family and we will all try to be strong and find peace within us. <BR> <BR>There will always be an empty space for each one lost, but through them we will always see the light that shines and remember their faces with  smiles not sadness.God has that light on them now. <BR> <BR>We all end up where only God knows. I know time heals our hearts, but our time now is to bond together and stay strong for one another. <BR> <BR>We also feel for the children that are left without a father or mother, but they are not left without our prayers.  <BR> <BR>We must all remember what our parents taught us "NEVER GIVE UP",]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[After the attack on our nation, we felt devastated and shocked beyond belief. At first, we didn&#039;t believe it, but now we understand the consequences of terrorism. Even though this was a disgusting act, our spirits were lifted when we saw the line of volunteers, ready to donate blood and help. Even though this terrorist act was meant to tear us apart, it has brought us closer than ever. We believe that even though bin Laden (who we think was the culprit behind this) may want to take us into war, we should not! We think that if America goes into war, it will be setting a horrible example to all of the young &#039;uns in the world. It will be telling us that talking things out is not the way to solve things, and that violence is the way to do things. <BR>     Even though we lost a great American landmark, we shouldn&#039;t worry about that as much as the people who lost their lives, and their families. They are suffering much more than the tourist business. Because of this, peoples&#039; lives will never be the same and we shouldn&#039;t go hurting more innocent people.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[We feel that the attack was an act of mindless terrorism. Our feelings go out to those involved and to their friends and families. We feel that threatening the Afghani government is, in a way, useless. We by no means condone these actions, however, the Taliban was not directly responsible for this, and the general public in no way. They may condone these actions, but they should not be held directly responsible. Attacking them would only reinforce beliefs that we are evil. Those who say that we should &#039;bomb them into the Stone Age,&#039; it has already been done. We should refrain from bombing the innocent, that would merely bring us down to Osama bin Laden&#039;s level. Sending in ground troops would be just as bad if not worse, as not only the Afghani&#039;s lives would be wasted, but also many Americans. We beleive that the U.S. should continue their demands that Afghanistan turn over bin Laden, and hope for the best. We should try to be patient. If this continues, and Afghanistan refuses to turn over bin Laden, then perhaps more action should be taken. <BR> <BR> <BR>From, <BR> <BR> <BR>Naneh, Joe, Steven, and Andrew at Pegasus School, Huntington Beach, CA]]></content:encoded>
