When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea. He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect. ~Adlai Stevenson

Not only you americans mourn on this day.

[BENESSE]

If you want to know whether time heals everything, IT DOESN'T.
It feels like it happened yesterday.

[Rick]

Thank you, Asger. We're all in this together.

[Pal334]

I had to leave the house and just go sit in a park. Watching the TV coverage brought back the memories and they were just too overwheming. And time does not heal, it just festers and unfortunately increases my hatred of these cowards and their actions. I did get some "payback" afterwards in the military, but it will never be enough. I do not share this hatred with kids that I talk to, but I do my best to make sure they are aware of what happened.

[erunkiswldrnssurvival]

some people seem to think that there is a conspiricy in the 911 attacks watch this vid that i found...

[Pal334]

The conspiracy claims are ludicrous at best and can not be supported by any evidence. That video is a perfect example of taking the collapses and ignoring the evidence. I am not directing this at you personally, but the propogators of these theories are shameless and not worthy of being dignified.

[erunkiswldrnssurvival]

I dont have an opinion, any claim should be properly investigated.

+1 on this..........I refuse to be sucked into BS.
I am having a tough time with this my self.....today.

[erunkiswldrnssurvival]

the second "shooter" thought to be a CIA operative in the Kennedy assination has never been taken seriously.

[hunter63]

While I rspect your comments, and am trying real hard not to get ,,,,,well you know what I mean..Today is NOT the day to bring this up.
Carry on..... I had my say, done now.

[crashdive123]

H63 is right. Today is not the day to bring up the 911 truther crap. It has been thoroughly debunked. Today is a day to remember those that perished and honor those that fought and still fight for our freedoms. Thank God for the First Responders and our Military.

[erunkiswldrnssurvival]

i'll say again that i have no opinion. when the towers fell i was working next to a federal building in NC, the FBI instructed us to stop working and told all of us to get to a safe location for fear of an attack on the federal building. we watched in horror as the airlines were shut down and all flights were suspended. the 911 day effected everybody in a major or minor way. we were all in it togather. what 911 means to me is a simular notion to yours, friend.

[BENESSE]

After watching 10hrs of 9/11 coverage on the history channel, a lot of it new to me, I can say with more certainty then ever, that I'm proud to be an American New Yorker and that my faith in this city is stronger than ever. All those times that I wavered, (mostly outside influences) and thought how we ought to get out, are really counter intuitive to where my heart is. This is our home; when one thinks America, NYC invariably appears at the center of it.
Whatever you might think of us, know that we can TCB...hope you can pitch in and join the brotherhood.

My Dad told me that they replayed the whole day on TV today. I am glad they are not letting people forget why we are Americans and why we went were forced to go to war to protect our Freedom. They did not play that on AFN, just the normal news coverage. I am a firm believer that this war was going to happen sometime, and I am glad to be fighting it half-way around the globe instead of our backyard. We must not forget that this was not a sole act of terrorism, remember the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the 1998 United States embassy bombings. These are just the American attacks, there is a long list of attacks that were carried out against our allies by the same scum. I can only hope that my generation will appreciate the sacrifices made, as the generations before me appreciated this country after attacks like Pearl Harbor. God Bless America!

America doesn't forget. That's why everyone knows the phrase, "Remember the Alamo!". That was 175 years ago (give or take). 175 years from now we will still remember 911. Only the pain of the event will be lost.

It was interesting last night watching the guy who secured the artifacts for the 9/11 museum.He said,long after I'm gone folks will still be looking at this and get a glimpse of what happened that day.
I personally will never forget.
