Hmmm... maybe any form of artwork depicting September 11 would be considered offensive or trivialising a serious issue? It would be difficult to do tastefully, that's for sure.

Strange....their stuff is usually so creative. You'd think they would have come up with something.

These are great pics!!! I didn't know they did this!!!

Don't feel bad. I don't know half of those guys either. Hopefully they did something important!

They should've done something for Memorial Day AND Sept. 11. Do they think they're NOT making a political statement by doing nothing? Wrong!!!

Oh well!!

Thanks for sharing these. Now I'm gonna have to look these up!!!

I'm with you, Christina... I don't get it.

My name is Christina. I am 38 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 18 years! My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (16), Jordan (14 next month), Ian (12.5), and Noah (10 next month)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (8 in September) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 12th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
