To all our British friends, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the UK, and especially with those who are in London.
Grant rest O Lord to the souls of thy servants who have fallen asleep, and make their memory to be eternal. Amen

We'd expect nothing less from the British, my friend. I want you to know that the hearts and prayers of the American people were with you, our British Brothers and Sisters on that dreadful day and will continue to be with you, just like our British brothers and sister were with us on 9-11, when the hearts and prayers of or British kin were with us. We took comfort in your support then and we hope that the our prayers and support will will provide the same for you.Herrwiggly wrote:Hi fellow members, as the first brit to respond to your good wishes, many thanks for your support. As to London, what these terrorists fail to understand is, 60 years ago a chap across the channel tried to bomb London into submission on a daily basis for 6 years, he did not succeed and could never bomb Londoners into submission. His name was Hitler.
The more people are attacked the more their resolve to survive, I believe this of any nation. history has shown this time and time again. THEY WILL NOT AND SHALL NOT WIN. The British are by nature are slow to anger, but boy oh boy when their blood is up, watch out. As we say in the Military, "come out fighting"
Once again thanks for kind words. :) :) :) Cheers.

I distinctly remember that shortly after Sept 11, the Queen gave an unprecedented command to the royal palace guards that they were to play "The Star Spangeled Banner" at the changing of the guard, an obvios deviation from the tradition and hundreds of years of history that has always been "God Save the Queen/King". I am not one to shed tears lightly, but witnessing that heartfelt display of love and support, was more than I could bear along with the rest of us who had watched and witnessed that. Even more impressive was the hundreds and thousands of your countrymen - and womenm who came to te US Embassy with flower in hand and tear in eye. I will NEVER forget that and I will telll this to story to my children and grandchildren.
And that brings me to my my final point, at exactly 8:50 British time July 16, 2005, one week after the TERROIST attacks on the British people, I went out to the commons, with my big, beautiful, British flag, and statred playing "God Save The Queen" on my bagpipes. I am not an expert on the bagpipes by any means, but I can get by and I did my best. The few people who hapened to be out on the streets at 3 in the morning stopped and asked me if how they could help and tried to give me money for the British rebuilding effort. Often time the worst of of brings out the best in us. My faith in humanity has once again been restored. We are of one mind now and we will never let those who would, could and do kill innocent men, women and children to win. I hope that peace will prevail and ask for it, along with the comfort and support of those who have lost so much, in my prayers. I lnw my family does the same.
God Bless England
God Bless the UK
God Save The Queen
