A Great Dual-Purpose Idea for Remembering 9/11

As the 10th year Anniversary of 9/11 draws near (its hard to believe 10 years have passed) there are many events in many communities to commemorate and remember those who we lost on that fateful day.

I am sure most reading this are more than aware of their local events and I am wondering if this idea that is being promoted in my area by Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers might be being replicated around the Nation?


In brief,,,,,



Here’s how it works:

– Stop by any Metro Detroit Chevy Dealer beginning August 25th 


– Make a $5 donation and receive a floating sky lantern (All proceeds to benefit the Salvation Army Eastern Michigan Division Emergency Disaster Services)


– On 9/11 at 9:11 p.m. please join us in lighting the lantern in remembrance.

In any event I hope my local fellow Patriots will join in this event as I myself believe it's a good idea and a very good cause.

I'm not sure that this is going on in the DC area.

I'm in the process of trying to find a memorial service that is handicapped accessible for Mr. AOW.

I'm getting thoughts of these lanterns having nukes attached to them and them floating eastward...

They will be honored !

That's more than can be said for New York. It looks like they'll have a new Mosque before there's a new World Trade Center ... SHAMEFUL!

Thank you Rand. I know you, myself and milliom's never will.

AOW, Most likely not (Sky Lanterns) in and around the DC area due to tight airspace control which is understandable.

I am quite positive you will be successful in your search for a memorial service to accommodate both you and Mr. AOW.

I get your thought Silver but understand that I am not far from Dearborn, MI, lets not give them any ideas,,,,,,,,, *DONT_KNOW*

Shameful, deplorable, disgusting, loathsome and most of all DISRESPECTFUL.

That more do no rise in opposition to this disgrace is very troubling indeed and a clear sign that ignorance is ruling the day in American society.
