THOUGHTS FROM GP FRANCE AND OSMTH INTERNATIONAL
11 SEPTEMBER, 2011
Dear American Brothers and sisters,
A few minutes away from the start of the commemorations of the Sept 11, 2001 tragedy, please accept all our thoughts and prayers. At the same time you will be commemorating , the French people will also commemorate , with reduced replicas of the twin towers near the eiffel tower, posting signs : "The French will never forget"
The members of the Grand Priory of France will in a few minutes certainly all in their private homes have a thought for you.
With all our blessings
On behalf also of all our templar community worldwide, please accept our best thoughts and the community of our prayers , each of us in our own language, from more than 20 nations and 15 different languages.
Most fraternally yours
NNDNN
