Remember 9/11/01

[Adam_777]

I agree they are very aware. I am out now but was in at the time it went down.It seems the news has been reporting lately that the war front in Afghanistan isn't getting anywhere.The big news still continues to be in Iraq in a war that was started by revenge and covered up by blaming it on 9/11 .It's a shame we still haven't killed Bin Laden or pulled out of Iraq.The good news is we sent 1billion in aid to Georgia.

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.

Was on top floor of 3 Times Square (RTRSY Building) and couldn't believe my eyes. Left the building real quick and headed home to U. East Side, remember like it was yesterday, was on 45th and 3rd when saw the second tower just buckle, just went down to the ground. People on the streets stunned, people crying, people praying, you name it and it was going on. Went to buddy's house who was in the trade center and just waited for him to come home, he did. He said he saw some papers flying around and new something was amiss, so he hightailed it outta there, left his car keys on the floor, cell phone, wallet, just left. He was lucky, we pounded a beer or 5 together before I went home to my wife and new born baby with one on the way. Walked out at night, everybody had candles going on 1st Avenue, typing it I still have chills up my spine. The Top Tech. people from my company at the time we're at the top of the trade center for a big tech. breakfast, they didn't stand a chance. The next day I rollerbladed downtown with a buddy to do something, anything, give blood, whatever. Several military vechicles coming down W. Side Highway, people hanging signs, bringing water, dust in the air, nobody cares, firefighters walking to the site, cops, you name it. One spraypainted sign I'll never forgot until I die, it read: "YOU MADE US STRONGER." That's my story, a lucky one at that.
