I turned 30 on 9/11. The birthday call from my Mom (which woke me
at around 6:30 Pacific time) was the very definition of a rude
awakening. By that afternoon the requests were coming in for a
US
Flag wallpaper. I had posted "
September Rose" before going to bed on Sept
10.
I recall that the folks at "The Screensavers" on TechTV used
this wallpaper for quite a while during the fall of '01. After
it
went up I received hundreds of requests of different flags of
the
world. Flags aren't really what I do, but I had to make an
exception this one time. It was simply the most horrible day
in
modern memory.
Reactions to this piece have been, shall we say, "mixed"
over
the past 10 years. I religiously avoid discussion of
political
matters on this site but when your country calls you have you
have to respond. The many many thanks I have received from
the
men and women in uniform have been all the validation I will
ever require.

Your willingness to put personal feelings aside and brave any possible backlash you answer the call of your country speaks volumes of your character.
