Ánimo y fuerzas para todos los chilenos que perdieron familiares en la dictadura
Para los que fallecieron, desaparecieron, los que fueron obligados a hacer el servicio militar y los que han sido lastimados por esa época
Ánimo para la familia de Víctor Jara, ánimo a todos los inocentes que no pudieron dar más de sí... Da igual tu postura política, si defiendes la dictadura o no, si defiendes el golpe de Estado o no, si defiendes que se haya terminado la Unidad Popular... Chilenos unidos, por todos los que sufren aquellas pérdidas

11 September 1964
Two days after diverting to Key West to avoid a hurricane, the Beatles finally make it to their show in Jacksonville. Despite the hurricane supposedly having passed, 45 mph winds require that Ringo's drum kit has to be secured to the stage to keep it from blowing away.

Just a quick note while we're talking about garlic - garlic was among the "gifts" which were given to Jonathan by his fellow passengers on the coach back in May:
Jonathan's Journal, 5th May: [...] we were entering on the Borgo Pass. One by one several of the passengers offered me gifts, which they pressed upon me with an earnestness which would take no denial; these were certainly of an odd and varied kind, but each was given in simple good faith, with a kindly word, and a blessing, and that strange mixture of fear-meaning movements which I had seen outside the hotel at Bistritz—the sign of the cross and the guard against the evil eye.
Jonathan's Journal, 8th May How was it that all the people at Bistritz and on the coach had some terrible fear for me? What meant the giving of the crucifix, of the garlic, of the wild rose, of the mountain ash? 
I think these gifts again show us 1) the expertise born of necessity of the locals, and 2) how much love and care there is in this book, even among strangers. I don't know if the passengers always carry garlic or wild rose or mountain ash with them, or they were only doing it because they were travelling through the Borgo Pass on the eve of St. George's Day, but several of them were willing to give up at least part of their own protection in the hope that it would be of some help to poor, clueless Jonathan.

To all my Chilean people... Not a happy day but like a minute of silence for all who died, for all who disappeared and for the massacres that happened as with Víctor Jara

11/09
Normalmente, esta fecha hace que todos pensemos en las torres gemelas, lo cual fue uno de los peores atentados terroristas de la historia, pero jamás había estado tan cerca de este evento histórico como en esa clase de redacción, genuinamente la ansiedad se apoderó de mí porque se sintió muy cercano, la impotencia de querer ayudar, pero no poder hacer nada y empatizar con las personas que decidieron que sería mejor saltar que esperar (lo cual creo que fue demasiado valiente porque yo no sabría qué hacer).   Pero no fue el único evento importante de ese día en el mundo, también estuvo el golpe de estado en Chile, se me hace muy estúpido invalidar dolores solo porque “alguien sufre más” pero para mí socialmente es mucho más impactante este evento, es frústrate ver como un país completo puede ser torturado y acecinado por tantos años, mucho más por una razón tan absurda, también me hizo empatizar mucho con las personas de ese país porque México podría pasar por la misma situación y me dolería muchísimo tener que huir de mi hogar, aunque es mucho más doloroso pensar que huir era un “privilegio”.   Estos dos eventos realmente me hicieron perderle un poco de fe a la humanidad, ver como algunas personas son capaces de hacer tanto daño sin un poco de culpa ni empatía, y como hay gente viendo todo este daño y simplemente lo toman como una cifra más, como si todas esas personas torturadas no tuvieran una vida, una familia y planes, pero me hace recuperar mi fe el que también hubiera personas tan valientes, que fueran capaces de dar su opinión y luchar por lo que creían sin importar el daño que les harían y en el caso de las torres las personas que tuvieron el valor de llamar a sus seres querido intentando tener toda la calma posible para no asustarlos o cómo fueron capaces de lanzarse sabiendo que tal vez era lo mejor en vez de esperar lo inevitable.

Patriot Day 
Honor those who died in the September 11th terrorist attacks, as well as those who risked their lives to save others, on the ground in New York and on United 93. Patriot Day falls on 11th September (also commonly known as ‘Nine-Eleven’) and is remembered globally as the anniversary of the catastrophic terrorist attacks on the USA of 11th September 2001.
Learn about Patriot Day
Embedded in the memories of everyone who lived through it, this was the day four jet planes were hijacked and crashed into the New York World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, causing the deaths of 2,977 people. The fourth plane (United Airlines Flight 93) was directed at Washington DC, but its passengers bravely attempted to take back control and it crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
The large majority of those lost after the attacks on the Twin Towers were working at or above the points of collision; thousands of people who had gone to work that morning like every other day, found themselves suddenly stranded at the top of a burning skyscraper. A number made the choice to jump from the flaming buildings rather than wait to be caught by the flames or for the building to collapse. No one could forget the terrifying and heartbreaking stories and images captured by the news footage of the day.
In the wake of the World Trade Center collisions, many brave men and women from the emergency services risked their lives to try to help rescue victims of the attacks, and of them 411 lost their own lives attempting to fight fires and rescue people.
History of Patriot Day
Patriot Day is recognized by US law as the official day of remembrance for these tragic events, and has been observed every year since. Each year on this day, American flags are flown at half-staff to honour and commemorate those lives lost. The US President asks fellow Americans to observe a moment of silence at 8.46am (Eastern Daylight Time), the time of the first plane collision into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
While the events took place within the USA, the shock and grief experienced in response to the attacks was shared across the globe, and for this reason Patriot Day will be observed not only in America, but all over the world.
How to observe Patriot Day
There are a number of ways that you can observe Patriot Day. One way is by paying honor to those who were on the ground on September 11th, as well as those that lost their lives. There are a number of different ways that you can do this. Thanks to the Internet, we are able to reach out to people that we never would have been able to, and so you can always post a message on social media.
If you don’t know much about the attacks because you were too young at the time, it is a good idea to spend some time doing a bit of research about the occasion. On this date, four airliners carrying passengers, which were bound for California from northeastern airports in the United States, were hijacked by terrorists of al-Qaeda (19 in total).
Two of the planes crashed into the North and South twin towers of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan. This was United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines Flight 11. Both of the 110 story towers collapsed within an hour and 42 minutes. All of the other buildings in the World Trade Center complex collapsed either partially or completely because of the resulting fires and debris.
The third plane crashed into the Pentagon. This was American Airlines Flight 77. This resulted in the west side of the headquarters for the United States Department of Defense collapsing partially. The fourth plane was flown in the direction of Washington D.C. This was United Airlines Flight 93. However, passengers thwarted the hijackers, and the plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania, potentially saving many lives.
There is a great film that focuses on the fourth flight – United Airlines Flight 93. The film is called United 93, and it was released in 2006. The film aims to take you through the events of what happened on the plane, focusing on the passengers responding to the hijackers in order to direct the plane away from Washington D.C. The film received critical acclaim, winning a number of awards.
The film is a great watch. It shows how the passengers came together to revolt against the hijackers, despite knowing that their lives were at very high risk. While they ultimately lost their lives in the end, they stopped the terrorists from reaching their intended target, saving many more lives in the process.
It is also a good idea to use this day to pay honor to the people who died on the 11th of September. This not only includes those on board the aircrafts, but those who died as a consequence of the collapsing buildings and the brave men and women who risked their lives to try and help those in danger. In total, 2,977 victims died on this day, with there being more than 6,000 injuries. Most of the people who died were civilians. However, there were also 71 law enforcement officers who died and 343 firefighters. Why not spend some time reading up on them to show that we will never forget!
