[Oe List ...] Memorial for 9/11 in Canada

[Jeanette Stanfield]

Dear Colleagues, 

Today I watched a memorial service taking place in Gander, Newfoundland where on 9/11 some 37 planes
coming in from Europe to the USA were diverted to land in Gander after the airspace closed in the USA. 
6700 people showed up that day in a town of 10,000 people.  Friendships were forged that week  and
have lasted .  Many Americans showed up in Gander today to say thank you. 

This website shares just a little bit about the service today:  www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2011/09/11/canada-sept11.html

 In 2009, Tom Brokaw did a program on Gander and 9/11. You can see it at:

Canada has now declared that 9/11 will be a day of service. 

Peace,

Jeanette
