I received thsi in e-mail as did many of us. I usually do not take part in the 'send this on to as many as you can' but this seems like a worthwile project. Read it, act upon it, or ignore it as you wish. Thanks, Banjer

Hello, my name is Mike Giles and I am a resident of Atlanta, GA. Like many of you, I have donated to the Red Cross online via Amazon. I have given blood. I still feel helpless in what has happened and what I can do to help. I hope that this act will be symbol of how we as a nation can stand together and bring light to the darkness.

This is a time of darkness. Darkness from terrorism, darkness from fear, and darkness from anger.

In the wake of the unspeakable act, that was commited on the US on September 11th, a light has shown brightly throughout the nation in the hearts of it's people. The United States has been blessed with a collection of people who have proven that, in the face of disaster, petty problems can be put aside.

Our nation has come together to donate money, blood, and sweat without hesitation.

My plea goes out to others that wish to continue to push the darkness back.

Many people have come to our country seeking the light. The light of hope, the light of dreams, and the light of freedom. Let us now come together and create a light across America showing that we can not and will not allow the darkness to surround us.

Let us stretch out an extension of the light that the Statue of Liberty has provided as a beacon of freedom for those shrouded in the darkness.

One week from the tragedy, on Sept 18th, at 11:00pm EST, point your floodlights, flashlights, and candles into the sky above and show that this darkness will not stop the light of freedom from shining in our home.

I was there, and it was heartning to see I was not alone in my neighborhood. All I can say to Gargoyle is this:

Congratulations!! You have been included on my list of folks that really should have been in the WTC on that fateful day!

It's assholes like YOU that cause SUCKERS like me to pursue our thoughts and goals with even more fervor, knowing that eventualy we will overcome!
