God Bless the USA. God Bless President Bush. God Bless our Military. And God Bless our attempts to punish those responsible for these actions and those capable and willing to commit similar acts.

good thing I have cable.

Wow...very powerful. I had tears rolling down my face, blood boiling in my veins, thoughts of revenge...

*sigh*

As a member of the United States Air Force, that picture of the fireman handing the military man the US Flag with the "We'll take it from here" caption brings reality to the forefront.

Proud to serve...

that hurts like the first time. seeing those bodies fall from the sky is a little too gripping to watch almost. i hope anyone who hasnt though about what happened almost a year ago takes the time to watch this and reflect on all those lives lost in whats been the most horrific thing ive encountered since i was born. god bless the slain, the families, the nypd/fdny, and most of all, America.

writhe in pain in the 7th level of hell then? <==== AGREED

lol

may all who were involved in this rot their lives away in purgatory

Some religious beliefs say that purgatory is considered temporary or is limbo. I propose we send them straight to hell.

Thanks, Dave, for helping those who need to remember. That includes me. I don't ever want to forget.

I can't tell if it hurts more a year later. All I know is that it still hurts because I have tears running down my face again.

September 11, 2001

A chair has been set up for each victim of this attack. It's a simple yet very powerful statement.

"God Bless the USA. God Bless President Bush. God Bless our Military. And God Bless our attempts to punish those responsible for these actions and those capable and willing to commit similar acts."

In hindsight, what did these people accomplish?

1) They destroyed (more or less) their organization
2) Lost power in Afghanistan
3) Were forced to live like rats in caves
4) Pretty much turned the entire non-moslem world against them and their perverted cause
5) Made America a more secure and united country
6) Evoked unprecedented loyalty here

Guess you got the last laugh?

Yes, straight to hell.


I'm sure we all remember exactly where we were. I was not in NYC, or DC. I was in my living room in Hatboro, PA - putting my shoes on and getting ready for work.

I was watching Good Morning America - and at the end of the broadcast, Diane Sawyer said - we're going to take you now, to the World Trade Center, where something has happened - it cut to a shot of the first tower, which was aflame - they were trying to speculate what may have happened..... then suddenly the 2nd plane rushed into view and the 2nd tower exploded.

I knew (probably everyone did) right then that we were under attack - my heart sunk, my eyes fixed to the tube, my emotions were beyond description.

I had to go to work - I drove in in a daze - and when I got there, I learned of the Pentagon.. and then the plane in western PA.

We've got an office in Arlington, they closed - but of course there was mayhem there.

We closed at noon - there was no official announcement, we just all went home - come to think of it - no one put it on a timesheet either - there was just no point in working that day.

then, watching talking heads.. in total shock .. reliving it over and over - wrenching sorrow and unspeakable rage filled me, and still does.

my daughter came home from school, I hugged her and cried. Her little voice (she was 6, just 1 week into first grade) Whats the matter Daddy, just made me cry harder.

Everything was cancelled in our lives for a couple days. Two days later we went to a candle light vigil, at of all things, our local pop-warner football league - we all cried again.


Never Forget.. I will not - not in this life or the next. Revenge, yes, but not just revenge - I want extermination - I want this to NEVER be able to happen again - you want forgiveness, find someone else. You a rogue state, you harboring, or financing these A-holes - you will be exterminated.

bump.

I was going to leave the purgatory one alone... I agree that they should have a more direct route.
