PostThu Mar 02, 2006 11:57 am    9/11 Memorial (Truck and Trailor Style)

Hello All,
I thought appropiate to post this in here because my mom got this from her friends at a group shes part of so I decided to show all of you from different parts of the world. That includes Europe,United States,Canada and so forth. This is decicated to all people who have died on September 11,2001. So, feel free to respond this post cause Im doing this since my dad is a truck driver.

Quote:
Trucker who has painted his cab and trailer with the names of all those who lost their lives in 9/11. The trucker's name is John Holmgren from Shafer Minn.

The trucker has been "pulled over" numerous times just so the troopers can get their picture taken with the truck.

(scroll down to see the pictures)

Nice memorial and great idea...I think this picture is the most touching on the truck, but all have great sentiment to them.

This is kind of going off topic but its to do with september the Eleventh,
A friend sent this to me read it and follow the instrutions and its really wierd. Whoever thought of this is a smart guy.
Also its creepy at the end.

Follow the steps at the end, this is pretty creepy!
>
1) New York City has 11 letters
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993 has 11 letters.
4) George W Bush has 11 letters.

This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets
more interesting:

1) New York is the 11th state.
2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.
3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11
4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. 6+5 = 11
5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11
6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your
own
mind:

1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. >2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.
4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.

>Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your
own mind:

>4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after

>Now this is where things get totally eerie:
>
>The most recognised symbol for the US, after the
Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse
is taken from the Quran, the Islamic

>holy book:
>"For it is written that a son of Arabia would
awaken a fearsome Eagle. he wrath of the Eagle
would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and
lo, while some of the people trembled in despair
still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle
cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."
>
>That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.

>Still uncovinced about all of this..?! Try this
and see how you feel afterwards, it made my hair
stand on end:
>Open Microsoft Word and do the following:

>1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight
number of the first
>plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.
>
>2. Highlight the Q33 NY.

>3. Change the font size to 48.
>
>4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS

That isnt one of the flight numbers, the whole thing was a hoax

The actual flight numbers were AA11(first flight) and UA 175 (second flight)

This song is by Garth Brooks and its called "The Change" I think its suitable for this.

One hand
Reaches out
And pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
They say what good have you done
By saving just this one
It's like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm

And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me

This heart
Still believes
The love and mercy still exist
While all the hatred rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss

And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me

As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone

I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world we know
Never changes me

What I do is so
This world will know
That it will not change me

Sheer coincidence. You can do that that with pretty much everything, except nobody does untill something big like 9/11 happens.


That truck is cool though, real Patriotic.
