12th Anniversary of the Sept 11 2001 Attacks

[stumpy1972]

It's the 12th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks and I guess I wanted to post just in case some of us may have gotten wrapped up in our busy lives full of things we seem to think are important. This is one of those days that puts everything in to perspective for me. Never forget...

Doing a special on it on Fox News right now. Brings up a lot of different emotions.

Never Forget... United We Stand

This is what I think of on 9-11.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - Ronald Reagan

Thanks to all those who continue to fight for our Freedom...

Good one neighbor

[rockmastermike]

my youngest asked me about what happened and, even in simple terms for his age, I can't make it thru without having to stop and wipe my eyes.
At least he knows it's serious and not to be taken lightly

After working for a week at Ground Zero I find it hard to watch the memorial services each year.

On the walk to my daughter's pre-K this morning:


Hey, terrorists, see that? Yeah? Fuck you, we win.

MSNBC is showing the entire coverage from the Today show as it happened. Takes you right back. Interesting timing with Syria.

Never forget that day, or every other we day we have people in the line of fire to protect freedom.

11Sep2001 was a Tuesday. Tuesdays in college are always small group/recitation days so I was in the chemical engineering grad student lounge in Amundson Hall on the U of Minn east bank campus when I learned of it for the first time. I stood there in shock for a minute watching on TV. Then I called my Brother and asked WTF was going on. Went home and watched TV for 3 days straight.

Never Forget.

I like your style. Perfectly stated.

[kfalk]

Hard to believe it has been 12 years already. Chris, I think I had the T.V. going 24/7 for the following week - couldn't stop watching.

Paul and Adam, great posts.

[greenlightning]

@Paul, @Adam. Well stated.
Hard to believe it's been 12 years. Still feels so recent.

[Zidane]

Great pic, Adam. Never forget.

A day I will never forget.

I never thought I would see the day that New Yorkers showed fear. I was walking up Park Ave with some co-workers to get lunch that day. All flights had been grounded when we heard the roar of jet engines. People were fleeing the streets in fear that another plane was going to crash into the city. I look up and it was two F-16's flying CAP over the city.

Flag is at half mast at my house today.

[namor]

My office was a few blocks away, with an unimpeded view of the towers. We weren't sure whether it was safer to be in the buildings or on the street since we expected more planes to crash into the area.

This is the firehouse near Wall St - between the two companies housed there, they lost 14 men that day.

[AtomicTom]

Thanks for talking about this guys, and showing these pictures. Never can forget. Think about it every day.

He was a smart man for sure.
