Message: <blockquote data-quote="Triple H" data-source="post: 99500" data-attributes="member: 512">Well the day sure affected all of us quite a bit. I do not know anyone is DC,NY,PA. Only in CA. I have no parents alive. Basically I have no family left. The posting thing I did was automatic. I just felt the need, the desire to do it. Another poster had the same feeling. We couldnt do a whole lot where we were so we posted news. It made us feel better. We never were looking for praise. in fact it was not until around 5 pacific that I actually started to read the posts on the enboards. Between reading,listening and relaying news I became lost and unemotional.On that day Angelboi called me heroic. It made me tear up. I respect him a whole lot and to "hear" him call me heroic made me feel better on such a dark day. On that same day while I was relaying news and news broadcasts I got an IM. I always turn it on even then. It was from one of my friends who is in the navy. He was scared,he had no news outlet and the base was onf ull alert. He called me heroic.This may sound like a HUGE pat on the back to myself, in actuality it is conveying how each of you made me feel that day. You made me feel like I really could do something in a hopeless situation. That even though I could not stop riots,board the planes,help clean up and rescue people I COULD still do something. You gave me self worth(tearing up now) and I can find no way to completly thank you. You are a great group and I am proud to be a part of it.A definign uote of how I feel from of all people Supergirl:"We don't do it for the glory. We don't do it for the recognition. We do it because it needs to be done. Because if we don't, no one else will. And we do it even if no one knows what we've done. Even if no one knows we exist. Even if no one remembers that we ever existed."THAT is exactly how I felt that day.</blockquote>
