This is a contest to remember those of our loved ones who were taken from us during the 9-1-1 tragedy.
It is to remember those heroes who tried to help those who were trapped, scared, hurt, and alone. Only to lose there own lives as well.
This contest is to help us all remember that all life is precious.
Write something in tribute to those wonderful people of 9-1-1.
Normal AP rules apply
1) No bashing
2) no suicide
3) no cutting
4) you can use backgrounds and pictures but make sure I am able to read your work.
Most importantly of all be creative. If you are different than everyone elses writings you may get my attention faster than all the others who write the same identical things.
Just be creative and have a lot of fun. And Remember... those who remember the past... may not repeat the past.

This day affected each of us... American or not... in a way. Some tragic some not.

Thanks again entering into this contest.
