Just looking at your skill in designing that book made me decide to show the rest of my family and friends all of your work, including the book. The book means so much to us Americans and also to the foreigners who also understand the pain and struggle we had to go through. Both the Pearl and September 11 attacks resulted in an upsurge of patriotism. Following September 11, Americans purchased and proudly displayed the national flag. Hundreds of millions of dollars of charitable contributions flowed to organizations and individuals to help the families of those killed. This flip book is one of them items that should be obtained and owned by all Americans and foreigners alike. Partisan differences in Washington were temporarily put aside to pass national security legislation. But the unity of spirit that the United States showed in the days, weeks, and months following September 11 did not necessarily translate into uniformity of opinion. Virtually all American and foreign observers condemned the actions as horrible and unjustified. Differences of opinion remained, however, on the difficult question of why these particular individuals did something so horrible. Thank you Scott Bl8ke for creating such a beautiful and patriotic work of art. In my opinion you are just as amazing and heroic as the firefighters, police, and medical technicians that helped at ground zero.
