I must profess that it is a bit tricky to come up with an appropriate post for September 11th. I wanted to say something serious that wasn't too somber. And, I certainly wanted to avoid anything political (which I must profess is a bit ironic).
So, we chose to go with an image of a very patriotic pooch. If there is one thing that is uniquely American, it is that we may be one of the few countries where some folks actually drape their house pets in fanciful clothing attire.
But, in all seriousness, we do want to take a moment to remember those who needlessly lost their lives on this day nine years ago.
My fellow Turkish-American Gunay Evinch, who is an alumnus of Washington and Lee in Lexington, Va. (a rival school to one of my alma maters!), made the following statement about 9/11 on the web site for ATAA, the leading Turkish-American association in America:
"While we have yet to comprehend such horrific acts and though we can not erase the pain, we should be comforted by reflections on the remarkable acts of heroism the world witnessed that day."
