I got this from a few of my lists. Normally I would not pass this on to my
lists, but these are different times. I think this is a fabulous
idea -------- And it certainly does make sense to me.


A movement has been started like that from Desert Storm. During Desert
Storm we tied yellow ribbons anywhere we could. Well, now the movement
is to tie purple ribbons the same way. This is for two reasons.


1. In remembrance of not only the firefighters, police officers,
paramedics who have died, but also for all who have died in this
terrible tragedy.


2. Just as in the military, when a serviceman get injured, he is given
the Purple Heart. Well, our country has been injured to its core.

Please pass this on to everyone you know, and let's see purple ribbons
everywhere. Along with the flag of the United States of America.
