At dusk on 9/11/11 light 3 candles outside in front of your house in memory of all those that we lost 10 years ago. A red candle for fire/ems, blue for police/military and white for all the civilians that died that day.

"With the anniversary of 9/11 drawing fast upon us, I would like to propose an idea for a tribute to all that lost their lives on that fateful day.

I suggest that on 9/11/11 at dusk that everyone should light 3 candles outside their homes (similar to what was done those first couple of nights after the attack). Each of the candles should be a different color, red, white and blue:

RED: for the FDNY firefighters and EMS workers
BLUE: for the NYPD and PAPD officers and Military
WHITE: for all the citizens that were lost that day.

That very first night I remember how moved I felt driving down the street and seeing all the lit candles in front of all my neighbor's homes. There are no words that can describe the loss and pain of that day, so let our actions speak for us!! Light your candles to show the world we will never forget September 11th, show the survivors that we still are thinking about them and to all those that lost loved ones that we still grieve with them!!"
