Dear
Rob,
Thank you for the beautiful site. You have captured the world's
pain, and the humanity and determination we'll need to rise above
this and make the world a better place.
thank you,

What
an inspiring montage. And the comments from around the world! My
tears won't stop. Lord why did something so awful have to happen
to bring us back together as a nation ... as brothers and sisters
around the world? I can't begin to thank you enough for your inspiration.
You can see what positive affects you have had on us just by reading
the comments. And yes, it would be great to see this as a commercial
or trailer before a movie.
I just can't believe I will never see the Towers again. I look at
the pictures I took from the top and am at a loss. And each time
I visit my step-father, buried at Arlington Cemetery, from his grave
I will see the side that was attacked. How the spirits must have
wept in sorrow and rage when the Pentagon burst into flames.
May God continue to bless you and inspire you. May God bless America!

Rob,
I saw your piece and cried openly. You have sounded out my heartstrings
and played upon them. Need I say more?

Hi Rob
- just seen the webpage and I was really moved. No one can comprehend
the enormity of this tragedy we can only offer our prayers and hope
for the future. I have visited New York several times and my heart
goes out to all who have lost a loved one. The world mourns but
the world
is standing beside you.

I'd just
like to say that I found your movie incredibly inspirational. You've
done a wonderful job of capturing the strength, grieving, and united
efforts of our fellow Americans.
Thank You,

Hi
Rob,
Your
work is outstanding. If your hosting provider is able to accommodate
a bit of additional traffic, we'd like very much to be able to link
to your site within the next day or so.

I am
so moved by this tribute! Is there some way this could be sent to
every TV station in the nation to be made into a commercial? How
powerful that would be for our nation! Thank you for sharing your
great talents with us!

Hi Rob,
I was sent to your website tribute video by my sister.
I am deeply moved by it. It is very well done. The music is so inspiring
especially as it goes with the photos which are so stirring. The
colors and the movements are vivid and bring the message home just
as vividly.
I can appreciate all the work that you put into it and will send
it along to others.
I wanted to be sure to let you know that you are doing a great job
of reaching out to your fellow family members in this super country
of ours. Keep up the good work.
With love and faith and caring for all,
Susan Pearce
God Bless Our World!!

Dear
Rob,
We thank you so much for your inspiring presentation. I haven't slept
well since the attack. My wife, Diane, after seeing your website is
sitting here with tears streaming down. You've really honored those
who died, the heroes and have given us all added strength. Beautifully
and powerfully done.
Best regards,

Rob,
I think
I forgot to insert a "we" before "feel". Nonetheless,
I have forwarded your e-mail firm wide, across the world, to friends
in Congress and at the White House. I have received amazing e-mails
of catharsis that your video has been the catalyst of. You really
have provided comfort,
strength and spirit to all that have viewed it.
Best,
Robb

Oh Rob,
what an incredibly powerful and heartfelt tribute! Such love and
pride surge through me. For my country, without question, but also
for you, as my son. I am proud to be an American but more so, I
am proud to be your mom. I know your Dad and sisters share that
pride. You have done a great work that will provide many Americans
and others with much needed strength and hope as our wounded country
and broken hearts find a place of healing. God bless you, my Rob.
May God bless, guide and protect us all.
Love, Mom

Greetings,
My name is Craig Cunningham. I am a cadet at the United States Military
Acadmey. One of my teachers showed our class your website, and I thought
it was awesome. I am proud to call myself an American because of people
like you. I am sending this around the academy, so don't be surprised
if you get some emails from some big brass as well commending you
on a job well done.
Respectfully,
Cadet Cunningham, '03

Mr. Kamphausen,
I just
viewed your presentation on the Internet... I am awe struck. The
resolve, the temperament, and the direction portrayed in your presentation
is what this country needs. I thank you for giving that to this
nation. However, I need a favor. I am the Cadet Wing Director of
Support at the Air Force Academy. My Wing Commander, Cadet/Colonel
Rob
Hamilton, equally inspired by the presentation, wants to show it
to the entire Cadet Wing, 4000 young men and women who will in the
near future be called into service for this nation. We want the
Wing to see this and rally behind it as we come to grips with why
we are here, why we put on our uniforms each day, and why we salute
the stars and stripes.
Is there
any way that you could send a copy of this presentation to us here
at the Air Force Academy. We will gladly pay any fee or help out
in any way, just say the word.
If you
are able to do this, please contact me. Thanks again, and may God
Bless America.
C/LtCol
Joseph S. Browning
Wing Director of Support, Fall 2001

That
is a great site and inspiration. I will be serving in the Army in
less than two years, you've captured everything i've been thinking
and hold dear. Thank you.

Rob,
Thanks a lot for posting the video! It is the most outstanding tribute
I have seen so far.
I do
have a request -- I am an instructor at the US Air Force Weapons
School and would like to get a copy of the video to use for our
graduation ceremony later this year. Is there a way to download
the movie as a file so I can show it without having to access it
on the internet? I can't think of a more fitting tribute to show
as a remembrance of what we all went through last week. Thanks for
your help!
God bless,
Stan Cole

To
whom it may concern,
I am a freshmen at the United States Naval Academy. One of my classmates
fowarded me the address to your website, and with the deepest honor
and respect I thank you for the inspiration that you have given me
to fulfill my duties as a Naval Officer to keep this country safe.
I have bookmarked your website and will look at it daily to remind
me of my job here, and to remember you, one of the many Americans
who are so grateful for what we fight for. I thank you from the bottom
of my heart, and God bless you!
Very
Respectfully,

Dear
Rob,
I just
wanted to say thank you for the incredible video you made, it gave
me chills. Just you let you know, it is being sent around the cadet
wing here at the United States Air Force Academy. Take care and
God bless.

Rob,
I just got out of my bosses office, Col Brian Bishop. He is an F-16
pilot and just left the Thunderbirds where he was the Commander
and Flight Lead of the Thunderbirds and he thought it was an AMAZING
VIDEO as well. We were both wondering if there is ANY way that you
could put that on a CD or something and send it to us. We would
be willing to pay for whatever and send you the money for it but
we would LOVE to have a copy of the video you made. I have seen
it about 25 times and it still gives me chills every time I see
it. I leave for pilot training in 3 months and will be flying for
our Air Force and I can't WAIT! Thank you again. You have touched
more people that you will EVER know with this and fighting overseas
for people like you and your family back in the states makes everything
worth fighting for.

Rob,
Wonderful,
just wonderful.
I pastor
TrinityLife in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
On the
side I am a graphic artist and I love what you have done.
I would
like to show your flash movie on the screen at our church on Sunday.
(if not this Sunday, then maybe next- depending on when I might
receive your reply)
Would
you please e-mail me just the flash movie, and your permission to
show it at the beginning of our service. (I'll probably play it
at the beginning of every Sunday morning Worship Service right before
Praise and Worship).
As a
graphic artist, I understand copyright and permission...
As a
man of God, I understand trust...
I would
not post it on any other web site or sell it or give it out. I would
just want to play it at the front of our sanctuary.
Hope
to hear from you soon,
Jeffrey Anderson Sr.

You truly are an American. You hit it right on. United we stand, we

Hey Rob,
You dont
know me. My name is Matt Davies and Im from Melbourne, Australia.
After
the recent tragic events in the US. I recently check the site NewYork.com,
for updates and news. I love NY and hope to travel and live there
one day, although I have neve been.
At NewYork.com
I came across a link to your site.
Let me
tell you... the flash clip you made about the US is utterly FANTASTIC!
That
is the best thing I have seen in a while. It was just done so well,
you should be proud of yourself. The pictures, music and above all
else, the words just sent shivers down my spine. It sounds stupid,
but it makes me proud to wish I was American! :)
Well
done!
Once
again, well done!
That
was absoloutely brilliant, it made tears well in my eyes and shivers
run down my back!
Sincerely,
Matthew

You
know I have watched your little video/slide 4 or 5 times. It always
grabs my heart. The pictures of our great flag as well as the thousands
and thousands of people. Everything is just great! You did an awsome
job. I hope that the American pride and strength that has been shown
in these last few weeks, continues on. I also hope that no one ever
forgets about this, because it has brought us closer together. You
know that saying goes, "Everything happens for a reason".
As sad as it is that this tragedy happened at all, maybe it was
because some higher power saw that our nation was falling further
apart. I do not think that higher power caused this, or did it to
punish anyone. But I think it did happen for a reason, I just don't
know what that reason really is.
Thank
you again for this site. I have passed it to all my friends and
family.

Rob,
My father, a retired firefighter, sent me the link to your site.
This movie shows America's heart, her pride, and her hope. I can
only hope that a video of this movie will be made available so it
can be shown to all. When it is available, let us know, we will
undoubtedly support it!
And,
how about releasing it to the movie theaters for showing before
movies. Can you imagine the impact it would have when entire crowds
of people stand and cheer at the end?

Hi Rob,
Thank you for such an inspirational piece. Unfortunately my computer
keeps stopping during it but I did get to hear it through, finally.
I sent it to so many people that AOL shut me down for spamming.
I didn't think it was spamming if you know the people? Anyway, any
chance of making it available to movie houses to play before movies
or for TV to play at appropriate times?(since not everyone is online).
I don't remember the last time I have seen a station start/end their
programming with the National Anthem. Maybe it's time to start again.
I think everyone needs to see what you have done.
If a
longer version is made available documenting some more of the events
that followed I would be interested in purchasing a copy as I am
sure others would too. Maybe proceeds could go to the Red Cross.
Thanks for putting into music and video the emotion so many of us
feel. Pieces like yours are important so that we remember those
emotions and don't get complacent but rather to be ever vigilant
to protect our freedom. Freedom was not given to us we had to earn
it and to keep it we must also earn it. May God bless us all, for
we know not what is around each corner.
Thanks
again. All the best. -Markanthony Izzo, Connecticut U.S.A. :-)
