So the Business Journal asks: Will you run your operation any differently on Sept. 11? Bob Zuber Executive Director Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton We've talked about doing things to commemorate the tragedy that happened last year. Probably a moment of silence. But we're business as usual. We're pretty tightly secured already.

W. Guy Fox Executive Vice President Global Transportation Services Inc. We will have a moment of prayer to show respect for the people who were killed in this horrific incident. Then we're going to go forward and do business the way it needs to be done. If we don't do this, then the terrorists have won. There's been so much emphasis on security and a lot of apprehension The seizure and arrest of a person who is suspected of having committed a crime. A reasonable belief of the possibility of imminent injury or death at the hands of another that justifies a person acting in Self-Defense against the potential attack. as far as all of the perceived terrorist activities. It's a bit of paranoia paranoia (pr'ənoi`ə), in psychology, a term denoting persistent, unalterable, systematized, logically reasoned delusions, or false beliefs, usually of persecution or grandeur. . I feel it's time It's Time was a successful political campaign run by the Australian Labor Party (ALP) under Gough Whitlam at the 1972 election in Australia. Campaigning on the perceived need for change after 23 years of conservative (Liberal Party of Australia) government, Labor put forward a to get back to business. We need to carry on and go forward. Howard Chambers Vice President and General Manager Boeing Airlift and Tankers programs I asked (employees) to recognize that all around the world people would be reflecting on the Sept. 11 activity, and that on that day they should take a moment and think about the men and women who lost their lives. I also said we should take great pride in how this country has reacted and how our armed forces have stood up to the issue. We are in the military business so I think it's incumbent we really appreciate the sacrifices that our military has made. There will be no time off. We're not locking down the plant. Many of them got the day off last year because right after Sept. 11, we had bomb scare bomb scare n → amenaza de bomba bomb scare bomb n → alerte f à la bombe bomb scare n → Bombenalarm and we had to clear our assembly building. Jim Kruse Executive Vice President/Managing Director Grubb & Ellis Co. The best thing I can be doing for my company and the citizens of America is business as usual. To let the terrorists think they can disrupt us is nonsensical. I can guarantee you we will do something as a remembrance. We're by no means forgetting Sept. 11. Every time I drive by LAX and I see the planes in the air, I just give a thumbs up. It shows the country is moving again. We're pushing forward and we're trying to improve upon last year by better attitudes, not forgetting how important to each day is relative to family and friends. Scott Gilbert Chief Executive Saatchi & Saatchi Los Angeles I haven't really thought about it yet. But we've been honoring Sept. 11 all the way through. We have a flag on the side of our building that measures 60 feet by 90 feet. We've had this flag up since October. It's visible from a few miles away. It makes people feel like our company is conscious of what's going on What's Going On is a record by American soul singer Marvin Gaye. Released on May 21, 1971 (see 1971 in music), What's Going On reflected the beginning of a new trend in soul music. in the world and also makes our neighbors proud that someone is that patriotic that they would so boldly show their feelings for their country. But I think we'll just play this pretty low key. We had a couple agency-wide meetings as a follow-up to the Sept. 11 incident. I think our people are emotionally spent and we don't look to have any more large public gatherings on the topic. But we do intend to keep our flag up indefinitely. |
