The 9th anniversary of 9/11 is looming. Such a sad day and really makes me feel sad. I cannot imagine a tragic day like this.   

I know this was one of the factors that made my son decide to become a Marine. He was 16. It is his generation's Pearl Harbor. I've always thought that was ironic since Jake's generation is most like that of their grandparents who lived through WW II. Anyway, we're both night owls so we did a lot of our school work at night and were still asleep when the first plane hit. My husband came in a woke me up. I thought he was joking and told him I really didn't think he was funny. I mean who could imagine such a thing! It's hard to imagine and my heart still breaks. I can't watch those tribute videos that have "Only Time" or "The Arms of the Angels" without crying.

I called M at work between the planes hitting the Pentagon and dirt in PA....like many, I was quite tearful as I had the Today Show on when the first one hit, and I saw the second one hit...and watched tv all day.

He was incredibly busy at work, with some production issues, and honestly...he blew me off....told me I was needlessly worrying and he couldn't talk on the phone, right then. I was stunned that he was so...unconcerned, uncaring ...atypical of him.

Around noon, he left the plant to do a bank run. He had the radio on in the car. He wasn't more than a few minutes from the plant, calls me .....to ask me if I realized what had happened in NY?

HUH?

Apparently he was only half listening to me when I had called him earlier, and it did not register what I was telling him. He thought I was telling him about A plane that had crashed, not that planes had deliberately been flown into buildings. He was stunned when I told him all that was going on.

That night, we were with several friends, when he saw it all on tv for the first time....had tears running down his cheeks.

He, like a couple of the others, had not seen a tv that day. All of those seeing the videos for the first time....the shock, the stunned looks of "is this real?"...must have been the same expressions that we all had the first time we saw those images.

How could anyone will ever forget 9/11 and what it meant for our country?

Muslim rage boy....This may be a good time to refresh our memories of some other times the Muslims have attacked, made demands(threats) and gotten their way.

^ Well, I didn't know Ramadan ends on Saturday, but from what you said earlier, that may be just another cause to worry about whether or not we could possibly get hit again Saturday. I doubt it will happen, but is is certainly a bit worrisome.

Right now and for the next three days I'm more worried about celebratory fire from these idiots going out and partying for Eid.

We're good for the next three or four days otherwise.

Yeah, what goes up must come down......but they don't worry about that in the  Muslim world.

I was in Baghdad the night they made the announcement that Saddams sons were killed in Mosul.

110 killed and over four hundred wounded from celebratory gunfire.

*shakes head*

I honestly hope that something is done between now and the 10th anniversary to the mindset of the MSM and they start showing the video and the audio of what happened on 9/11 again.

We don't need to be shielded we don't need to be protected.  We NEED to be REMINDED of what happened.

We need to hear cries of Remember the towers...remember Shanksville.

It needs to echo from every corner of the planet...and be heard in every terrorist den around the world.

I'll be at GZ tomorrow for both ceremony and protest. I know my moving into the 21st Century has been long overdue, but I bought my first digital camera this afternoon (with memory stick and carry case, of course), so I should be able to bring some decent shots to the board. It's nothing too pricey ($150), but it does have 8X zoom, where most of the others in the same price range had only as high as 5X zoom.

Also, I have a little Sony digital sound recorder, so maybe I can catch some good bits of speeches and upload them. I'm a little more shaky on that.

As you may know the protest organizers have asked us not to bring signs, and I'm complying with their wishes. I don't agree with this self-censorship, and don't think we should give a rat's @ss what the lying propaganda media makes of us, since they're going to revile us no matter what we do, but Pamela Gellar has done too much to make this happen--she's been getting all kinds of death threats, you know--for me and, I hope, most others to not agree to do this as she wants it done. Meanwhile, the enemies of all decency will have all kinds of lying signs; but there'll be WAY more of us than of them.

Last I checked it looks like Newt has bowed out; at least, he's not on the list of confirmed speakers on Atlas Shrugs.

Well you can forget the MSM, Tx, but I believe Fox News is showing the footage. And, really, when you get down to it, THEY'RE the mainstream now.

And to echo what Tx is saying, I'd like to provide one of my favorite songs here:

Also, I'm not sure it's appropriate to post this, but I wish to. I wasn't there, and didn't see what actually happened, but this video is from someone that lived very close to the Twin Towers. I wish to post this for the same reason she does. To make people remember. To show all of you what it was like up close. I warn some of you: This is very, very hard to stomach, and isn't for the faint of heart. I get choked up every time I watch it. However, I think it needs to be seen every year on September 11th.

It is paramount that we remember. The FDNY Heros. The Brave citizens who went above, and beyond to help. The EMT's. But mostly, we must remember the event, and the raw hatred shown to us on that day, because if we lose our vigilance... If we take our eye off the in-escapeable fact that this is what Islam wants for us all, we are lost.

We must never...EVER forget 9/11/01.

I was settin' at my computer fine tunin' my latest artwork for a company in Topeka, KS when my next door neighbor yelled for me to turn on the tube!

I thought holy crap a jet liner had a major mal****tion! Then, the second one flew into the other one!

I knew right then it was the muzzies!

It was the last artwork I ever did! Some how advertising just wasn't on the agenda after that and my business went under.

I was like most here, I wanted BLOOD, and lots of it! Still do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was in favor of turning Afghanistan and any other terrorist coddlin' nation into glass! Still think it's a good idea!

Those last two lines run along my very same thought process. Amen.
