I'll never forget where I was or what I was doing
I'll never forget how I felt
I'll never forget how sick I felt
I'll never forget people around me crying and just wondering what was happening
I'll never forget being glued to the TV to see if we needed to be ready for war and with whom
I'll never forget the days, weeks, months and years of being bitter at a nation and now at some of our "leaders"
I'll never forget how the brave men and women of FDNY responding and doing what they could to save lives
I'll never forget to tell each new generation about what 9/11 really is
I'll never forget to tell you to never forget!

Amen to that! Thank God for the men and woman that stood up for us that day so we could continue our freedoms and liberties we enjoy today. Thank God for the many of men and women that came before this tragic day to uphold our freedom. There’s nothing better than being an American. Thank you to ALL our hero’s
God Bless America
God Bless America

At the 22 year mark I still cannot watch the FDNY documentary on their members response, actions, and giving the ultimate sacrifice trying to save all inside the towers.
343 members all at once made the sacrifice and though I was not a member of the FDNY I was a 21 year member of a department 90 short miles away and knew a half dozen of them never to be wholly recovered. My heart breaks every time it is brought up.
God bless their souls.
Sadly, it was this act of cowards that brought first responders into the light.

When I heard (on the 12th), I was in camp with a break between safaris. Had my office order me a charter flight to Dar.
Went to the American Embassy and told them I was ready to go and would bring my own gun (I didn't know what else to do, just knew I had to do something).
They thanked me, said they would call me if needed and escorted me out.

History tells us that yes, “we” will forget. Or at the very least, it will become something that happened long ago.
For my generation, meaning those of us born before 1950, the most profound event of our lives was the assignation of President Kennedy. Many conversations centered around people knowing exactly where they were and what they were doing when it came over the news.
Nowdays, it seems to be an after thought.
It’s the same with that great event of the generation before mine, that being Dec 7, “the day that will live in infamy”. Aside from a ceremony held at the Arizona Memorial each year, I doubt 99% of the people even give it a second thought.
Just yesterday, they were discussing 9-11, and Pearl Harbor came up. One of the guest actually stated, “but that wasn’t actually in the United States, and one of our cities being attacked”. Really? Was that that ignorance, stupidity, or simply not caring. Hawaii was a US Territory, and the Japanese attacked attacked the United States Military. Oh well…….
A while back, I was watching a commercial, (it might have been an insurance company), with several historical figures in a rather funny skit. One of the figures being portrayed was Abe Lincoln. You remember him? He got assassinated. His brains blowed out. just like Kennedy.
How many decades will pass before we see humorous commercials on TV with one of the characters being John F Kennedy.
Time does heal all wounds. While we will never forget 9-11, I doubt we can say the same for our Grand Kids.
