I remember waiting in line with my gas tank just one drop away from being empty and being stranded in line. Not only was I in line barely hanging on by maybe a few precious drops of gas I was also 50 minutes away from my kid. He was in lock down at daycare. It will be a day that no one will ever forget much like the day John F. Kennedy was shot and the day Pearl Harbor was attacked.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08847870143268007279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15282702.post-62610459047147746352007-06-09T04:00:00.000-04:002007-06-09T04:00:00.000-04:00oh, that is a wonderful wonderful story.

It seems like such a minor gesture to give someone a pair of shoes, but, it isn't. It's huge and who knows how many lives he saved by making evacuation just a little bit easier on people. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing this story. It's wonderful!<BR/><BR/>Jessica The Rock ChickThe Rock Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653277401124290907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15282702.post-58153503770055696022007-06-08T09:19:00.000-04:002007-06-08T09:19:00.000-04:00I thought seeing the whole event unfurling on CNN ...I thought seeing the whole event unfurling on CNN was disastrous. This first-hand experience of yours must have been far, far worse...<BR/><BR/>You know, I think what the shoeman had done was very commendable. He didn't think of the losses he will suffer at that time. His kindness shone on that day, and he gave out free sneakers for the women?<BR/><BR/>All I can say is, what a great sacrifice and gift he can offer.<BR/><BR/>The media was biased in showing us the disaster and destruction which had happened. It's things like this which comforts our hearts in times of distress...<BR/><BR/>I praise the shoe owner's actions, and I hope he will be greatly rewarded. Thanks for sharing this beautiful story which unfurled in a disaster.

It is one of the most moving I've read. If you've followed the beginnings of the Dona Nobis Pacem movement, you know that my inspiration to throw out the idea came from the sight of that small plane in Oct 2006 hitting a high-rise building. It reminded me of 9/11.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your story with us. It is moving.<BR/><BR/>Peace be with you and all of us in this great country of ours - and in the world.<BR/><BR/>Mimi LenoxMimi Lenoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616635898420835541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15282702.post-63836451104205832232007-06-07T22:13:00.000-04:002007-06-07T22:13:00.000-04:00I did not know about the shoe man.

I couldn't get through, turned the tv on and there I sat for days on end. I couldn't sleep, eat or do anything constructive. I knew in my gut that the world as we had known it was gone forever. I was right, it is. To Toraa, your lucky that you are alive to tell the story. The guards generally shot first and asked questions later. I have lots of family in the old DDR that I have never met. I may make a trip now, it was my mother's birthplace...good blog...ciaoRosittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722304052321553692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15282702.post-51085252560347287352007-06-06T16:58:00.000-04:002007-06-06T16:58:00.000-04:00I will never forget that story.

War=Dictaror maniac leaders that want power and "calls it People democratic/religious republics"..<BR/>They close and do sensorship on Internet.<BR/><BR/>That's also have lead to, f.i. all the control and checkpoints and paperwork as tourists.
