9-11

[Mark W.]

Lets all take a few moments today and give thanks and prayer to all those that have sacrificed so much to secure our freedoms. Seven years sure goes by quick.

 

[Fawteen]

My ten foot flag is out this morning.

Never Forget.

Never Forgive.

Never Appease.

 

[Greenday]

Amen

 

[rustyfarmall]

9-1-1 served as quite a wake up call. Let us hope and pray that our current and future leaders do not fall asleep on the job again.

 

[Balaton17]

[Don L C]

I will never forget that day. I was on the puter and my daughter called from afar and told me turn on the tv.Like all of you I was in a state of disbelief.I am ex military Canadian but had never seen such destruction.Then came the weeks of following the bad guys but never suceeding in catching the main man.Time has passed and my memory is fading but not the images of the plane heading towards the towers or the people jumping from windows. Each time I remember this horiffic incident I ask myself what kind of human being would do this? I dont believe I will ever find the answer.God bless America.

I put a flag up on 9-11-01 on the back porch (its really the front door) and keep it up at all times had to replace it with a new last year. I keep the porch light on at night a small cost for FREEDOM.

PS my wife and I also wear lapel flags.

 

[dcarp]

Like Walt we put up a flag on 9-11-01 and we keep it up. Also have small floodlight on it to keep the symbol of freedom in our minds at all time. I also give thanks to all of the brave men and women now defending us.

It's a hard day to forget.

Our daughter was three blocks from the Pentagon when the plane hit it.

 

[Goose]

I should have added, 50 years ago today, September 11, 1958 was the day Mao Tse Tung said I was going to die, along with a couple hundred other Marines.

He obviously didn't get the job done.

 

[Jack a]

Good one Don! Bring politics into it!

 

[Bobk478]

I cant agree more. What is the saying "those who forget the past are destined to repeat it". I am retired military and still work for it. My son is Former MARINE (Semper Fi) and both of my son-in-laws on active duty (one with 101st in Afgan". I say a prayer every day for them and all of us, that we as a county never have to go thru a day like that again. It is my generations "PEARL HARBOR". After that day It really brought home what I remember my grandparents talking about Dec 7 and my Dad (my dad died when I was three so never really got to here his stories) but did see photos from the South Pacific. GOD BLESS AMERICA and THOSE WHO LOVE IT!!!

In NO WAY did I want this to turn into a political post but rather an opportunity to share prayer and thanks. Please don't let this turn into a Rep.-Dem. post.

 

[Glen D Anderson]

There's rarely a day goes by I don't think of the veterans, deceased or otherwise...........

Today though, I'll think of those who perished during 9-11 and their families..........they are the ones who, seven years ago today, truly gave up everything.........

 

[Jim H. SW-PA]

I just cant see the greed in some people, referring to the sight in Shanksville,Pa .The owner of an abandoned strip mine. figures it has a lot of value.

All he can see are $$$$ signs when the whole country
are driving up there to either mourn, or show respect,to those brave people on that plane.

I can't even imagine myself that being on a supposedly joyful trip having to make a decision that affected the family's and friends on that flight.

No one wanted,or expected to die that day. Those that were able to get into the cockpit may have not seen it coming as they were busy. The ones in the back had to see it coming and I feel especially bad for them as they knew it was their last time to get right with God. Some was even talking to family members on their cell phones saying good by for their last time.

The natural gas company's are taking land for right of way, called imminent domain,that is good farmland.

And for now the government is letting them but, They don't want an abandoned strip job that now is a part of our lives,and history.

They are instead moving the things around the sight to another location.and Just maybe future generations won't feel the impact as we did,without actually seeing the devastation.

No attack on US soil since. Thank God for the soldiers, marines, sailors, police, firemen and our President who have protected us thus far. Lets pray they can continue to keep us safe.

 

[Nancy Howell]

God forbid that we should ever forget or take lightly all those who have died or served that this country could ever be the land of the brave and the home of the free.

Our prayers and thoughts go out to the families that lost loved ones on that day,and to the families that have loved ones fighting for our freedom because they love this country.

I had family that was too close for comfort to the towers on that day, I thank God everyday they all made it through alive..

The men and woman in the service are always in our prayers and will remain there for as long as they keep this country free and safe I salute them ...

[Walt Davies]

My family has served in every war since the revolutionary war and where did I get in, 1958 to 1962 one of the only piece times in our history. I did get the Expeditionary Medal for the Laos Action but that was a joke.

[Lanse]

Thats something i will always remember. Tonight at 9 the history channel is showing something on it.

I remember school that day, especially the "Good morning students and staff, today is tuesday, september 11, 2001".

I remember not really thinking much of what was on TV. I was in second grade, 7 years old, and was glad i diddnt have to go to my piano lesson that day. I also remember being frustrated when they canceled pokemon (sp?)

 

[Anonymous-0]

That's a great picture, long may it wave. Stan

 

[Alex.C]

Lance I was a Grade above U. I'll never forget the principal comin' on the PA. system and tellin' the teachers to put on the T.V. and tune to a local news channel and watchin' the towers fall in the middle of class. Now, we here in SE Texas are 'bout to get hit by a major hurricane. I swear 9-11 is a cursed number.

 

[GeneMO]

Jack a, I too hate to bring politics into it too, but politics causes these things, and the military has to fix them.

Once we decide, as a country, that we have a situation that requires the military, then we need to give them a mission, then stay the H**l out of the way.

The Military's job is to kill people and break all their sh*t. Plain and simple. Not necessarily good or nice, but sometimes it has to be done. Our soldiers are not peace keepers or community servants. Or should not be.

"In war, there is no substitute for victory"
McArthur.

"It takes millions to win a war (WWII dollars),
To loose one, take all you got!" (McArthur, maybe)

We desperately need to remember that we are at war with religious zealots that think they are ordered to kill all of the infidels (us). Lock and load.

Don, who taught these people to fly?



MAY GOD BLESS THE USA

 

[Jack a]

You have a very simplistic view of the world. Unfortunate.

 

[dieseldoc]

I am tired of hearing about 9-11. I lost some family that day just like many others did. But it has been 7 years. I think it is time to move on.

 

[Bret4207]

Dieseldoc- It's thinking like that that will lead us to another 9/11. No offense, but we should be thinking of 9/11 EVERY DAY.
