George W. Bush Designates Today as National Day of Prayer
US President George W. Bush has designated Friday as "a national day of prayers and remembrance," for the thousands of victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, the White House said Thursday.

White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said the president will attend a prayer service here Friday to honor the estimated thousands of victims of the attacks Tuesday, and was "calling on Americans during their lunch hours" to take time to attend prayer services "to pray for our nation." 

Americans should "attend prayer services at churches, synagogues, mosques, other places of their choosing to pray for our nation, to pray for the families of those who were victimized by this act of terrorism," Fleischer told reporters.

URGENT: Blood Donors Needed...
National Inventory Has Only One-To-Two Day Supply
Because of Today's suspected terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington D.C. and perhaps Pennsylvania, the need for blood around the country is great. There is only a one-to-two day supply of blood in the national inventory. The need for blood will be ongoing and continuous. For that reason, the Red Cross is asking people to consider donating blood over the next several days. Call (800)GIVE-LIFE for information on blood drives in your area.
