Lest We Never Forget

And I say this through clenched teeth...we shall not forget what happened 5 years ago today. We shall not forget those who gave their lives knowingling and unknowingly for this country on this fateful date. I say a prayer for the firemen and policemen who unselfishly went to the aid of their fellow countrymen and lost their lives. A prayer to the families...especially the children whom are without Fathers and Mothers because of 5 years ago.

The tears of pain and rage well in my eyes when I remember watching this as it happened 5 years ago. I remember the rest of the day...the shock on my co-workers faces...the eerie silence of the skys with no planes..and wondering what could be next?? I also remember the video feeds from Islamic countries.... the celebrations in the streets..the joy on the faces of even little children, at our suffering.. I haven't forgotten that....and I don't think my country has either...

To my brothers on Flight 93.... The courage and resolve you showed on that plane make me so proud to be an American. You sacraficed yourselves to save thousands of innocents... Thank you...Thank you for standing up to this great evil and saying "No..your not going to do this"

I would like to thank our friends and brothers whom have stood by us during this crisis.. Thank you. Special thanks to Britain, Italy, South Korea, Poland and Austraila... your support will not be forgotten.

And a special thanks to our military...may God watch over your every step and bring you back home to your families...

For those that have passed on.... We Have Not Forgotten You.... God Bless You.... And Once Again.. I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN !!

very true

 

[a creed]

As stated - we will never forget..............

 

[digger]

He just happened to be an American --
you don't get to choose where you're born
There was no earthly reason to murder him
on that beautiful September morn

Now his brother has gone to Afghanistan
It's something he just had to do
He just happens to be an American
who is flying a B-52.

I'm not proud to be an American;
it's the place I just happen to be
but if you're going to murder my family and friends
then you're going to answer to me.

You picked the wrong thread to be funny, and there are no roids involved, just the fact that many of us lost friends and family 5-years ago today.

Have some respect.

no, YOU have some respect.

i pointed out an error in the thread title that rather detracted from the seriousness of this thread, and you come along, call me a douchebag, tell me to eat shit, insinuate that i assign greater gravity to the passing of the crocodile hunter than to the 911 attacks, and THEN come along and tell me to have some respect.

now normally, id take this in my stride. id roll with it. like water off a ducks back. yeah. cant nothign touch me in my happy place. im thinking of my power animal 24/7. but all this hypocrisy AFTER i offer you a dim sim?

I thought you were making fun of him, if I was wrong, I accept your dim sim with gratitude.

heehee gotcha to apologize

 

[PICK3]

I'll never forget

 

[Dieselicious]

Anybody remember Swordfish - not just Holly Berry's tits - but the meaning behind the movie. Thats what we need, is a true american terrorist to rise up - not Collunbine style - but to go over there and terrorize the terrorist's. Thats how this shit will end.. only Americans are made (most of us) with morals, and our enemy believes in a god who will praise them for killing us. - thats screwed up.
Imagine we offered a huge life insurance plan to poor americans (like our enemy does) saying hey if you go over to afganistan with this nuke and blow up this entire section for us - we will give your family 5 million dollars - and god is also going to give you a really great seat when you get to heaven for doing this. - thats how our enimy is operating..

 

[Raptorex]

heehee gotcha to apologize

lol, that is ok, I was a bit over-reactive. To celebrate our new found friendship, I will bomb Pick3. TY!

 

[GoldenDelicious]

you bastards are making me feel bad about what i said

or maybe it was just the dim sims. i ate one too many. GOOD ONE, MIGHTYMOUSE

God Bless the USA!

gentlemen, please. enough with the tomfoolery, and let's get back on track. i oome into work every day through the world trade path. i wasn't planning on stopping this morning, but i turned around and circumambulated "ground zero", taking my time. as you probably know, the anniversary ceremony is taking place right now. thousands are lined up around the block, or walking around, while the families recite the names of their lost loved ones.

and change the title.

I apologize to GD and MM and will edit my post accordingly, I guess I overreacted too.

Let's get refocused on what really counts.

Thanks bro for the words of wisdom. I'm still shocked by the nature of this event. Everyone has their own story and each one is just as sad as the previous one. Glad your safe.

American girls and american guys
Well always stand up and salute
Well always recognize
When we see old glory flying
Theres a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night
When we lay down our head

My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our yard
Until the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the free.

Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin in
From somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the 4th of july

Hey uncle sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the statue of liberty
Started shakin her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, its gonna be hell
When you hear mother freedom
Start ringin her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you courtesy of the red white and blue

Justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And youll be sorry that you messed with
The u.s. of a.
cause well put a boot in your ass
Its the american way

Hey uncle sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the statue of liberty
Started shakin her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, its gonna be hell
When you hear mother freedom
Start ringin her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you courtesy of the red white and blue

 

[Cutiebaby]

Agreed.
I think there are many out there who will never forget. The images and the sounds of destruction and news casts will be on alots minds and in alots hearts.Mine included.
I did not know personally any one who was on the planes,in the buildings, or those who risked themselves to save others. However, this day (that day) will be with me always as some thing that no man nor woman shall ever forget. It was indeed a sad day, one IMO that should be concidered a national holiday.
I remember the news casts, vivid images, fear, sadness, and loss of that day as if it were yesterday. I know I for one will never forget!

lol@MM going fuckin ballistic

I agree, as many other horrid tragedies that have happend recently.

I remember when stationed in Italy we had limited cable at first. Ok lmao, 1 friggin channel until they set up more....Any how, they had this one song that was on a commercial where they showed images from 9-11 with many various pics in it. The very last pic was of a man saluting I believe it was the flag. But any who the song IMO is a great song.

ok It was "America will always stand". I know that Randy travis sings it, but it was not sang by him. The song touched my heart when I first heard it.

 

[DannoMight]

I'll never forget that. Just the thought of that day gives me mixed emotions. Mostly sorrow and anger.

I can remember sitting at my desk, my radio on... and all of this breaking out... I got some coverage on the internet but soon it was so bogged down that I couldn't get on the news stations. I went to our main office and watched the second plane hit... It was like something out of a movie. I was sitting there thinking... this can't be real, and then to see the people jumping, crying for help... And no one could help them.

It made me immediately think of my kids, my family, and those watching the news or witnessing it live, that had a family member in that building, or jumping out a window... I don't know how I would have tolerated that or even if i would have been able to at all.

The daycares there, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, .... Imagine knowing that your child was there and nothing you can do to help.

It still sickens me to this day.

5 years later. Head held higher than ever before......
Yet the pains still there, the memory, the tears. The fear or not knowing......
I lost nobody that I knew personally thank the god above me!
However, I dont think honestly as prideful as i am that i could go on knowing that some one I loved had been there or passed away as a result to it.
A few years later, I read a book that was made about a man on one of the planes. Once again the tears came like a fresh wound.

As hard as I try, things like this haunt me non stop... not just 9/11 ... but Katrina, deaths, losing my family members... '


Did you read the book about flight 93?

I've had nightmares, over and over about similar things happening and me witnessing it all.

Must have been about 93...It was the man who called 911 and talked to the operator. Saying to make sure his wife knew that he tried to call and that he loved her. The plane that they tried to fight with the terrorists...Sad damn book.I must actually read it again!

I dont have night mares of it, thank goodness.

Every morning, I look at a picture of a Mom with a baby in her arms and say a prayer, this Mom was killed on one of the Boston flights. She was on her first business trip to LA since coming back from a six month maturity leave.

Same here - I was sitting in my office, and heard some of my employees dropping "everything" and puttin on this live broadcast that was pretty loud. I was on the phone with our office located in the 1st Tower (15 Salespeople there).

I screamed out my door to turn the radio down, or better yet, "off" - then the phone went dead........................

When I started listening to what happened, and was STILL happening, the mix of emotions was just too much - I grabbed a chair and sat next to a young intern and she was HORRIFIED, - I just remember her asking, are "we" safe?

I said, yes - just pray for those going through this right now, and I gave her that "fake" smile................

Seeing the images every 9-11 doesn't bring back memories, cause that rot-gut feeling has never left me.

I don't think ANY amount of bloodshed could EVER get rid of that............

 

[wakefib]

i know canada hasn't done as much as they could have against these terrorists, but not all of us canadians think the same. i stand strong to support the war against terror.

I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that Canada isn't in "anyone's" crosshairs................

However, they have an IMMENSE responsability to toughen up it's borders so that it won't continue to be a favorite place of USA entry from terrorists.
