Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / March 2005OTP Moment of Silence
I just wanted to share some thoughts with you all... the Canadians here will know all about this, as will many others. Tomorrow (Thursday) there will be a memorial service here for the four RCMP officers who were brutally gunned down in the line of duty. There will be a parade, followed by a service at 1 pm. Thousands of police officers from across North America have come to offer their condolences and support. I'm not sure how long the service will be, but there will be a minute of silence near the end. Since I cannot attend, I will be closing my office door at 3 pm MST (my best guess), lighting a candle and saying a prayer for the families left behind, and for those everywhere who risk their lives daily for us. If any of you would like to join me, I'm sure our thoughts and prayers joined with those of so many others will be felt and appreciated. Janet N. I will join in with you. I am so sorry to hear this happened. Praying for the families and people that this has affected.  SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too.

I will. We flew our flag at half-mast yesterday and it was difficult to explain to my class what it was all about. I can not understand why this gunman was loose when he had so many allegations of sexual abuse of minor boys and brutality against others. I won't be able to light a candle at that time, but will do it in my heart. I will light a candle later in the day when i am home.

They put Martha Stewart in jail and let a madman roam the streets. Bleeding heart judges or just plain stupidity? It is sad. --- Joan On Thu, 10 Mar 2005 08:03:31 GMT, in alt.support.arthritis you wrote: >I'm not sure how long the service will be, but there will be a minute of >silence near the end.

Janet, the service is on TV here at 3 P.M. EST, it will be 2 P.M. MST, 4P.M. AST, 4:30 P.M. NST and noon PST I think. --- Joan > On Thu, 10 Mar 2005 08:03:31 GMT, "Janet N" > <northerndancer@canadacanada.com> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > --- > Joan will participate in the noon memorial. you're right, joan, it doesn't make any sense and is horribly tragic how violent criminals can roam the streets while a lie about a crime that didn't happen and borne of fear and intimidation lands a person in prison. kate kate I haven't been listening to the news the last couple of days and I hadn't heard about it. For the person asking for a link to the story, here's one: http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/03/03/rcmpalert050303.html This is such a tragedy anywhere and it's just so hard to believe it happened in Canada, which sees so little gun violence. All who loved htese men are in my thoughts and I feel for the country as a whole.

One of the officers was married in November! His wife made a statement on TV. Bad stuff. Policemen everywhere put their lives on the line every day. --- Joan > I'm not sure how long the service will be, but there will be a minute of > silence near the end.

Such a terrible waste of life - they all look so young Janet I am saying a prayer "to the Man upstairs" for help to the grieving family members.

RB Please remove "Ima" to reply. > I jsut got home so was not able to see it, They will probably have > excerpts on the news. The news here actually had very good coverage. We tried to listen to the service on local radio, but as one of the girls in the office said... it is hard to work when you are crying. We did observe a minute of silence throughout the workplace, though. I heard today that one of the men had only been on the force for 17 days. They were all so young. Janet N. >>It was a moving service, Ron. After I watched it I received a message >>saying one [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > I jsut got home so was not able to see it, They will probably have > excerpts on the news. i watched it late last night. what an emotionally moving (for me) and awesomely beautiful memorial ceremony. it did honor those 4 men and their families (and the fiance of one of them) in so many ways and on so many levels. i don't know if this kind of tribute is traditional or not, but it was certainly done with great care and caring. i felt priviledged to witness it on television. kate > Sorry to hear about your additional bad news Joan. > It is difficult when someone from a group passes away.

Our mutual friend here is not on the internet at the moment, and she would want to know. To reply, just remember One Canada. thanks, Janet N.

So much sadness when there could be so much good. --- Joan I got home from work late today, so just heard about it on the late night news. How horrible. It seems like one thing after another lately. I will be including the family and friends of the Atlanta shooting victims in my prayers as well.
