<P>I think it's allready high time that we came back to our senses this is really an isolated occurance and it only affected a handfull of buildings in 2 american city's . Dont let these acts of violence scare your wallets'( pocketbooks) into shock the nasdaq can operate from a open data base and the nyse is unafected. as for that there really should be no need for all this exra security everywhere because there is no way to stop a truly driven person from obtaining their goals... think about it or other wise how did any of us overcome market forces to get into this business???? <BR><BR></P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>Dear Friends in America,
<DIV></DIV>> It is difficult to express feelings right now. I have noticed there isn't
<DIV></DIV>>alot of letters in this forum the last 2 days.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> Yesterday after the terrorist attacks on our country we were at work as
<DIV></DIV>>usual in our balloon store, which is in California. We had deliveries to
<DIV></DIV>>make and life must go on. We took 2 big balloon bouquets into an office
<DIV></DIV>>building where it was very quiet. The receptionist looked at our balloons
<DIV></DIV>>and said, "that is the most uplifting thing I've seen all day." At that
<DIV></DIV>>moment I wished I could take a balloon to everyone in town! I had a couple
<DIV></DIV>>of more deliveries that I made and all the people were up lifted by the
<DIV></DIV>>sight of balloons. In times of sorrow, people need beauty like balloons and
<DIV></DIV>>flowers to help them get through it all. I am glad to be able to be in a
<DIV></DIV>>business that can provide that little bit of light. So many times we get
<DIV></DIV>>tired and think that our work is just WORK! In times like these we do have
<DIV></DIV>>an important role to play and it really helps to be able to do something
<DIV></DIV>>good.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> Tomorrow we are putting out a balloon column of red, white & blue balloons
<DIV></DIV>>with a star on top and an American flag shaped foil on the very top. It also
<DIV></DIV>>has a wide black ribbon hung from the side to signify our sorrow for those
<DIV></DIV>>who have lost their lives in this terrible tragedy. I think it would be a
<DIV></DIV>>good way to show support for the USA to do something similiar if you have a
<DIV></DIV>>store front or place to display our colors in balloons. I hope you will
<DIV></DIV>>join me in this display if possible.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> Our prayers are also for the victims, families and our leaders at this
<DIV></DIV>>time. We know that God is our only refuge and Him we place our trust.
<DIV></DIV>>Thank you to our friends from other countries for your love and support.
<DIV></DIV>>God bless you all.
<DIV></DIV>>
