Go Read It: Posts By MOMocrats on September 11th

MOMocrats writers are posting their thoughts, feelings and analysis about September 11th in several places around the web today.

Stefania re-posted her annual 9/11 commemorative post at CityMama.

Glennia has a short, simple wish for peace on The Silent I.

Erin wrote about security and complacency in the wake of the 9/11 attacks at BlogHer.

Joanne put up a short reminder about the consequences of a lack of effective executive leadership on that fateful day at PunditMom.

Julie relives her experience of the day in a vivid post on The Artful Flower.

Donna wrote about her young daughter's perception of the anniversary at Socal Mom.

And a few days ago, former MOMocrats writer Kristen wrote a moving post on Motherhood Uncensored about her military husband's deployment — scheduled for today, September 11th.

The Rev at my hippie church just sent this out:

"I want to share with you a poem I read each year on September 11, since a friend introduced me to it a couple of years back: "110 Stories," by John Ford.

At least one of all these different voices speaks to each of my many mixed feelings. Maybe you will find the same."

Here's my annual look back at 9/11 -- http://toddlerplanet.wordpress.com. I was a federal intern, newly arrived at NASA, and I saw the smoke rise from the Pentagon, just over the river from the conference room I had taken refuge in, trying to sort out emotions over the attack on the first tower.
