Reflect and Remember.
Remember those that were taken, their families, and the soldiers that have since perished.
Reflect on what took place and the horror it brought to our lives.
Recall your feelings that awful day......
Then hold your loved ones close, tell them you love them, and thank God for what you have...........
Peace to ALL my SLY brothers............
-
Amen....
I'm actually flying home tomorrow (business trip in San Diego). Going to feel odd.
Peace to our fallen fellow Americans.
-
I'll never forget the day. Prayers definitely going out to the victims' families. Innocent lives snuffed out, and why?... because they lived in the greatest country on earth.
-
Never Forget!!
-
The faces, the stories, the shock and disbelief--we've learned to live with it, but not accept it.
-
I agree and was actually going to post something myself.
What is really disturbing to me, is one of the local radio DJ's received a text this morning from his friend in New York that said something to the effect of "I'm on a train in NY reading the paper and the headline is about Michael Jackson.....WTF?!?!?!"
Good to know there are still many people who have not forgotten.
-
Sometimes it seems so long ago, and other times I find myself reeling as I remember that awful day.
I want to forget, but I know we must not.

And not only the US SBG, the UK and the underground attacks, South East Asia and Australia, India--this lunacy is not held in, boundaried by anything--it's just hate.

I will never forget and never let it happen again...how many untold successes have there been that we don't even know about?
How many attatcks have been thwarted? We never know about them, but some who let themselves forget...probably don't have the ability to understand the untold successes we have had.

I didn't hear about it until I went to the courthouse and it was locked down. When I got home I found out what happened. All those people with loves, hopes and dreams just like the rest of us were just snuffed out and makes my heart heavy just thinking about it.

The expression, "Let's Roll", earned a new meaning that horrible day

I remember hearing that morning soon after the Pentagon was hit that there were reports that Camp David was hit, I just remember running downstairs yelling to my mom that they think Camp David was hit and going outside to look towards that area, I live about 15 miles or so from the mountain that Camp David is inside.

My brother was on his way to the world trade center that morning, and heard about what had happened while stuck in traffic on the highway.... A lady I worked with lost her husband in the WTC that day ....
I think it's time to step-up our effort in hunting down every last terrorist on the planet. :x!

New York City was a regular stomping ground on weekends or sometimes after work with the gang...
That was about twenty years ago and The Towers were just another common everyday site...
" Now living in Minnesota"----I was working that day and i literally stopped in my tracks and was glued too the radio the rest of the day...I was listening too everything as it was happening live on radio..I was extremely shocked and could`nt believe what was happening in my old " backyard "....The workday was cut short and raced home too watch the rest of the events on TV.......That was something i could`nt get out of my mind for a long time..and was the talk of the town for months too come......
Now those towers are gone and are American symbols of _____________...........
Those Towers were just buildings and easy too replace---But looking at all those pictures of ordinary citizens and huge number of Firefighters and Emergency personal who lost there lives was terrible...........aarrggh..

I had back surgery on 9/12--and during my recovery the New York Times did a series that became a haunting habit for me. Over a period of weeks they had a section w/ the picture of every victim and a short, maybe two hundred word--life history. I read each and every one of those, all of them were people who sounded like people you wanted the chance to get to know--and yet, they were gone, to their families, their friends and neighbors, and in a sense to everyone of us who might have met them and enjoyed their friendship. I'll never forget that series, never.
-
We should not judge many by the actions of a few.
Keeping with the spirit of the OP, let's remember the legacy of those who died on that terrible day ... the heroic NYFD, those in The Pentagon, the Todd Beemer's ...
-
Absolutely agree with what Pruitt said. Let's not allow this thread to wander astray and lose its original meaning. No matter what you think about the people who did this or what they believe, never forget about the heroes who lost their lives trying to save our fellow coutrymen. Don't forget either about the innocent lives lost and families that will never be the same.

Here, here.

Well said, guys!

amen koz!!!

Watching documentarys tonight on 9/11, it's gut wrenching stuff, it really is. RIP to all victims. God bless America.

Last year I visited the crash site in Shanksville, Pa. while on a motorcycle trip. It was a moving experience that brought some of the toughest guys I know to the verge of tears, myself included.
That visit, to what at the time was nothing more than a field, changed my attitudes about a lot of things.
Thank you to those around the world that remember us on this solemn day.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Please remember and say a prayer for all who died on the tragic Tuesday morning eleven years ago. It was a gorgeous morning in the New York City area - the first beautiful fall-like day. None of us expected such a beautiful day to turn so horrific so quickly...

Shanksville..Pentagon...World Trade Center..May they all Rest in Peace.

I remember EXACTLY where I was because I was INSIDE the World Trade Center on the morning of September 10th. Let me back up a bit...
I flew into NY on the 7th, and was fortunate enough to be there hanging out with Michael Jackson (one of my very close friends was VERY close to him). We had a great few days. Wild shopping trips where they closed the stores down so MJ could shop, crazy experiences having dinner and just hanging with him, etc. He was in NYC to do two concerts. We all hung out back stage with everyone and had VIP seating as well. It was a great time. I even got to play the piano for him at the soundcheck while he sang. On the morning on Sept 10th, a few of the guys wanted to see the WTC. Being a native NYer, I was a little reluctant to go into "tourist" mode...but I tagged along anyway. We were inside building 1 for a few hours the morning of the 10th, and I flew home later that afternoon. I woke up to the news of the tragedy. It freaked me out a bit knowing that I was inside building 1 less than 24hours before it happened. Guess it just wasn't my time.

Wow Baldbear, that is one heck of an interesting post...
That day still haunts me every time I see an image or see that clip on Discovery where that woman shrills as the second plane strikes. I felt it albeit from the other side of the world...What a horrific day for the US?
I feel so much better now that the world is a better place since the bones of Osama lie covered in shark sh*t...

I remember when I first started working on the ship on 2005. My first rotation onboard was scheduled to end on 9/11. I delayed my vacation a week so I wouldn't have to fly that day. It just felt wrong in every way. R.I.P.

Right, I hear he is playing Texas Hold 'Em with Elvis Presley in Vegas.
-
I heard Jimmy Hoffa's there, too.
