What a beautiful and moving piece.
I too am an American, from NYC living abroad. I've learned of the true horrors from reading my sisters messages. She lives at the foot of the closed area and has been working at ground zero for the past 4 days serving the fireman. We both know many people who were in and around the WTC and the flights. I am saddened because I am the only American where I am. Reading messages and letters like yours bring comfort and inspiration.
I am heading back to NYC next week to volunteer with the relief efforts. My sister and I are gathering a collection of notes to deliver to the rescue workers and I would love to take some from all of you.
Please send messages to me at

Include where you are from. I want to share with them the global support and admiration that everyone has for their efforts.
