Today is Sept.11. I don't know about all of you but I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was at work when the news came on saying The World Trade center had been hit. I know that alot of folks could care less anymore but I know that alot of us still do. And I believe that it is up to us to remind people of that day. Now don't get me wrong I'm not talking about the bad things that came out of that day, I'm talking about the possitive things, like people not being ashamed to fly The American flag, like people trying to be kinder and gentler to each other, and things like being proud of our Country and the men and women who serve it.
I know many of you have served and have friends and family who serve in the military. So lets even if for one day make them proud. Lets go out of our way to make our country great.Lets be kind to others, Lets not talk bad about our president<even if he isn't who you wanted in the White house>. And most of all lets pray for them and their families while they are deployed>

Just before I logged on this morning, my wife and I were talking about it. We lived in the city, and she still does drive from our beautiful place 170 miles north of the city into the city to work 4 days a week,she always takes 9/11 off now)and in fact I worked at 7 World Trade and was witness to the event. I was just thinking yesterday about the whole scene, and these brave people running into the heart of that, and not away from it. I have wondered if they thought of their loved ones as they ran into that huge inferno? I wondered about the people I saw falling and thought about their loved ones, and that I just shared their final moment as they were falling. I know I never will forget those heros. They must have known that the chances of coming out of these buildings were slim, and they went in and did their duty to save others.

You are right, let's remember we are the luckiest people on earth, We Are Americans.
 
The ironic part of 9-11 is that two decades ago a handful of foreign agents entered our country legally and killed 3000 of us, but now we are letting those same types walk into our country illegally and we don't even know who they are or where they went.

Our intelligence depts believe we will find out where all the terrorists are that Joe/Kamala let in, after the next attack on U.S. soil. And it will be much bigger by design.
 
Never forget 9/11/2001. Very sad to think about how our country is now open to those who harmed us then and probably will harm us again. Fact is, they already have in more ways than we could imagine.
Didnt the 911 terrorists enter legally through airports.
 
I remember lots. Could see the towers being erected, very dimly in the distance, from our town when I was a kid. I remember sleeping in them one night after a very long night of partying ( buddy worked there and had keys) that started with a really nice dinner at Luchows and ended after we closed a few places, too tired to take the train home. I remember coming to work one morning and the boss has a small TV on and the first tower had just been hit. I remember saying 40,000 people work in those buildings. I remember making phone calls back east trying to reach people that morning. I remember drinking wine at lunch that day, thats all they had. I remember crying a lot that week. I also remember one jerk bragging about how he now had the tallest building in Manhattan as a result. Every year I remember.
 
Watching the coverage of the towers falling, the crash site in Pa, and the strike on the Pentagon is engraved in my memory. A constant reminder that evil exist in this world. A portion of the structural steel in the towers was supplied by a company in Lynchburg VA, about 12 miles from our house.
 
I like to pull up videos on You Tube on the anniversary. Not because I enjoy watching the events of that day. But because it acts as a reminder and tribute to the sacrifice and heroism that occurred during that terrifying time. It reminds me not only how fragile life is, but how a country divided can come together united. The new generation has forgotten about that. May God bring peace and comfort to the families of the fallen and the survivors on this day. You are not forgotten by me.
