9/11 -A Day for Gratitude?

By admin on Sep 11, 2009 in Financial Serentity

The anniversary of 9/11 touches each of us differently.

Some people think we should just move forward and put the past behind.  I respect that, but I don’t agree.

In fact, I think you can commemorate 9/11 and help yourself (tremendously) at the same time.

Please watch this 3 minute video to see how you can benefit and express your gratitude at the same time.  Also, I could really use your brain power.  How can I show the folks in our Fire and Police Departments a little  “Pilgrim Love.”  Any ideas?


How do you commemorate this day?

On to the links for the week:

When it comes to the Digerati Life, it’s always hard to pick one post.  But if I had to choose, I’d say this discussion on portfolio returns gives you the best bang for the buck.  A very important discussion and delivered in a way that is thoughtful and helpful.

    Here’s an email I just received:

    I’m somewhat embarrassed to say that the only thing I have done to commemorate this day is to fly our flag and think about the terrible loss of lives and impact on those families 8 years ago.

    However, one thing I have been taught to do by a family member you can do on any day that you have the opportunity and that is to pick up the lunch tab for firefighters and policemen when you see them in restaurants. This can be handled anonymously by asking to speak to the manager and arranging to have their lunch put on your bill. I have been a witness to this when my 89 year old aunt wished to make this gesture in earlier this year.

    She wanted to offer her thanks in person and they all came to our table and thanked her and made her day! My cousin did this also but did not want to be publicly recognized–personally I think it’s good to let other diners see that this can be done.

    Good luck with the Brownies!
