Interdenominational
prayer services were orga
nized by nightfall, and peo
ple gathered in churches
across the county to pray
for those who had died, and
for the nation. (By the end
of the week, a group would
completely encircle the lake
at the Georgia National
Fairgrounds, holding hands
as they prayed.)

Shock was followed by sor
row and anger. Flags went
to half-staff. Mayor Jim
Worrall called the attacks
“one of the most cowardly
things done in the history of
mankind.” Perry firefight
ers began almost immedi
ately to raise funds to help
the families of their fallen
comrades in New York City.
And, by the second day,
flags of every size were fly
ing in front of businesses
and homes as a sign of patri
otism and national unity.
The violent dynamic isn’t
broken - but Arab Muslims
are now fighting for their
own freedom. Five years
after 9-11, that isn’t a design,
but a fact.
