Never forget! Just like Pearl Harbor, only MORE cowardly.
Imagine what would have happened if we did to Iraq and Afganistan what we did to Japan? There would be one massive parking lot in the mideast.
As for those that paid the ultimate price in this act, they should never be forgotten, and treated with reverence because this was an act against them (and us).
As for ANYONE that sacrificed their life that day, they are heroes, all American heroes. I did not know anyone that was lost that day, but I can only imagine the pain and anguish the families endured when they realized that their family members wouldn't be coming home.

As for the passengers on flight 93 that crashed in PA, they are also heros, worthy of the hishest accolades any civilian could deserve.
Imagine being on a plane, knowing that it was now being used as a missile, and you and a group of COMPLETE strangers rally together to stop the cowards behind this act? How many of you felt tears well up in your eyes when you heard their story? I know I did. That was a completely selfless act to try and save others, and should not be taken for granted.
