Fellow Eliter's,

As we are upon the two year anniversary of September 11th, 2001......I pray that each one of us has it in our hearts to remember the tragic events of that day.

Take a moment out of your day, and think about how lucky we are to live in a country as great as this

And realize that it is our duty to protect this soil and the way of life as we know it.

Remember the fallen hero's of the NYPD and NYFD, as well as our armed forces

Remember those who are no longer with us, and cling tight to the people that are closest to you as you do not know if this moment could be your last.

May peace be with us all, both here and abroad.

Thanks For Reading,

Pitbullstl
 
If you have it or can rent it, watch "9/11" the documentary about the firefighters made by the French filmmakers.

I have owned it on DVD for over a year. Im going to show it to my kids one day.

Never forget.
 
Yeah... it's 9/11 here in about 30 minutes or so... it was a horrible thing that happened...

It's times like this that I actually remember why we are over there in Iraq... and trying to stop these bastards from doing these sort of monstrosities again.

C-ditty
 
My mother was a young child during WWII and she told me stories as I was growing up of her experiences. The one that always stuck with me was the day she said her grandmother would not let her go to school because her son, my mother's father was going to be allowed a day with his family.

That very morning while she was at home a stray bomb fell and dropped on the local school - killing everyone in the building.

She was the only child to survive

Whenever she told the story you couldn't help but to sob and wonder if there really is such a thing as fate.


During the broadcast of of the 9/11 attacks she would call me in the middle of the night crying and inbetween her sobs she spoke very faintly in German - reliving some past conversations with her grandmother. She didn't even realize she was on the phone with me at times and unexpectedly I would get silence and then a dail tone.

She hasn't been the same since and has no memory of any of the phone calls.

What a trip. You wouldn't be here today if she weren't the only child to survive. Maybe you were born for a purpose that you have yet to discover? Who knows.
 
It was an awful day. I'm not too far from NY and I have family in Manhatten so I was really worried. Also a good friend's father-in-law is general in the army and we thought he was at the Pentagon. Luckily he had to go on a business trip, but my friend and her husband didn't find that out for several hours after the Pentagon was hit.
 
I say we pray for all the dead and living in Iraq and Afghanistan also.... and we pray for the souls of those who used 9/11 as an excuse for a war for oil..

So yes.. god bless Iraq, Afghanistan... and god bless America.
 
8:46am here in Wash DC... remember listening to Howard Stern Show and he was the first to talk about it.. Ran down the hall to tell fellow coworkers. They didn't believe me, since i heard it from the Howard Stern Show.. Then they heard it on other stations and believed me.

It must be tough being so close to this scar huh? :(

But I bet there are many there that have become desensitized seeing it every day..
The picture above was the test they did on the 10th apparantly.
Did you see it ?
 
Worst day and lowest point in my life.
My wife and I seperated on Sept. 10, when I drove away from my home and kids.
I wake up the next morning (hungover) at our lakehouse and see the most insane images I have seen. What I felt was primal anger.
Just like I feel today, 2003.

We've since got back together and healed, hopefully our country has too some.

Great post bro! Karma for you!
 
I dont know if its a good idea to get too emotional over 9/11 every year on a regular basis. Our government will use that factor to push through even more freedom robbing ("patriot") legislation. A prayer for the victims is all that is necessary, and appropriate. The big rallies and ceremonies are in bad taste, in my humble opinion.

I don't know that desensitized is the word. Maybe more like "business as usual". Or as close as you can come with automatic rifle toting MPs in the train stations from time to time.

The first couple of months afterward, people were walking around like zombies, but most people, with the exception of those who lost their loved ones, have moved on, I suppose.

Until the next strike, I guess.

Glad to here you got back together with your ole lady. That one thing made me feel better about this thread. Because I feel so bad for the families that lost loved ones because of few losers that are dumb enough to listen to an ugly dumb ass like bin laden.

Holy Crap!! My first sticky!!!

Honsetly those weren't my intentions, but a good idea!

The UPS guy just came, and he had a bigass American Flag pendant on his shirt, and when I ran down to the bank, the tellers had done the same thing, it's ashame that it takes rememberance of a day like this for my fellow bretheren to take pride in this great land, but makes me proud either way.
 
why doesn't anyone "remember" or mention the people in the airplanes that went into the tower or into the field or into the pentagon or the people that worked in the pentagon that died?

not really. i wasn't talking about your post in particular, so don't think i'm flaming or being an ass. but think about it. everyone always makes mention of the NYPD OR NYFD or the city of NY or rudy giuliani (sp?) or those in NY that were affected. you rarely, if ever, hear anyone talk about the people that were actually flying in the planes or their families or their hometowns or the people in the pentagon or the city/state/whatever of DC. just an observation.
 
DECEM, as I have mentioned before i was personally effected as my brothers and cousins are members of the NYFD. I also said in my posting the " many innocent who lost there lives" that would be piolts, passengers, folks in the tower who where working etc. This is a tradegy for everyone but also effected everyone differently.

I will never forget the pain inside and the intesnse crying I did when I was driving and heard the tower had collasped. Unlike many I was selfish and broke down as I knew my brothers would be in that tower with other firemen. I knew that when a fire a collaspe happen firemen die and I knew that this was a mjor major event and many firemen would die.

It was 3 days before I ahd any communication my brothers where alive. Maybe selfish but that was all I could think about. When I realized they where fine I cried for waht they saw and the rest of what happened hit me hard again.

Like my mom dieing of cancer when I was 13 I will NEVER FORGET THIS DAY.
 
flexed.. i'm seriously not trying to stir shit up around here, nor am i trying to downplay the events that happened 2 years ago. i actually think it should be made some type of national holiday in which most people get the day off from work (esp. seeing as almost the entire nation, except for police and emergency workers (for the most part) stayed home or went home from work that day. that's neither here nor there.

i was simply making the observation that, while i don't doubt that you or pitbull intended for all those that were affected by the events that day to be remembered, most people, even you guys, tend to explicitly make note of the nypd and nyfd and new york, yet always only make implied mention to those in DC or PA or the pentagon or the planes. this goes for the media as well.

again. i'm not trying to step on toes or mess up a nice "remembrance" thread; i'm just making an observation that i feel needs to be made.
 
your right. and maybe from my side ahd my brothers and family not been involved I would see it this way but honestly until you mentioned Washington it did not cross my mind. I was to effected by NY and that is my honest reaction.
 
I'LL NEVER FORGET!!

We are still doing justice.
 
Great post pitbullstl

Here are some pictures I took at the corner of 42nd St and 5th Ave. One of the planes flew right over my office.

For some reason I bought my digital camera into work this day.

Nice pics of people transfixed...
I'm amazed in the first 2 that there are people not looking
up, and just looking at other things..
 
Shit parabellum....I was probably standing right next to you. I watched the 2nd tower go down from the corner of 42nd and 5th. I couldn't believe it.

What sucks is. $80 billion later -- and the guy who masterminded that thing is still out there, laughin' it up.

Why doesn't the US put out a $1 BILLION bounty on his head already?? I'm sure his henchmen will DEFINATELY think twice then.

I agree. A billion would bring out the best snipers and mercenarys there is. Somebody would kill that sucker for a billion.

Just as a side not to New Yorkes what does a "fine + 2 points" mean?

When you get a traffic violation, you get a $ fine plus they put so many POINTS on your DL.
If you go over so many points charged, they take away your DL for a while..
