Michigan Blog - Featuring Michigan Shopping, Travel, Business & People

When our calendars open today and we get a quick glance of the date, there is not a sole in America that doesn't think back and reflect or pray on that fateful day seven years ago. (If you were old enough at the time to remember)

A moment of silence please.

Throughout Michigan organized events help us remember - but truly our hearts will never forget - especially if a friend or relative was involved, hurt or even possibly passed on.

Ann Arbor songwriter Kitty Donohoe is headed to Washington, D.C., to
perform her award-winning "There Are No Words" this evening at the
unveiling ceremony of the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial.
Donohoe said she wrote the song on the day of the terrorist attacks seven years ago as a response to the horror that was unfolding by the hour. After performing it a few nights later at a public gathering, she was urged to record it and give the CD singles away, hundreds of which were sent out around the world.

Gov. Jennifer Granholm ordered flags lowered to half-staff today to remember those who died in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Freedom walk in Sterling Heights Veterans groups are sponsoring a Freedom Walk today at Freedom Hill County Park in Sterling Heights.

Detroit's police and fire departments will hold a memorial service to honor victims of the attacks at 11 a.m. today at Campus Martius in downtown Detroit.
