I'll never forget. It's seared in my memory. I have never felt so many emotions all at once in my life. There are no words to describe it.
I don't understand the implication that the ME's office has "robbed" anyone. Seems to me they've done a major-league job.
Unfortunately some of these remains could be from the hijackers. Too bad we cannot at least filter them out for more appropriate disposal in a pig sty.
Damn right.
Sad.
Thank you. I just saved all of this, and will put it into my documents to keep. I am crying now - it's just so horrible! Oh my God - the pain! The pictures, the words. This is why we cannot forget. Thank you, Thank you. We need this every single day. God Bless you.
And I must say - you guys had it pegged from the start. I really wish I had been HERE then.
Everyone in this country was effected by 9/11 in some way. That is why I cannot understand the Leftists and their anti-american ways and hatred of our soldiers!
Our daughter and I went down to NYC yesterday with a friend and her daughter. I'd been to NYC since 9/11, but hadn't yet been to Ground Zero. That's even how it's shown on the Manhattan map, "Ground Zero",and the subway is now going to the restored 'World Trade Center' stop. When you come up from the subway platform, you come out a couple of stories below street level, and above the bottom of the pit. You can't see very well because they've put steel mesh all around the site for safety during reconstruction. The cross that they found in the rubble is still there on the edge of the pit, sitting on top of a concrete base. I'm glad they have that there, overlooking the site.
BCM. Battalion Chief Moran. One of our own freepers.
I think and I hope they keep the cross when they build the memorial. I haven't been downtown since I got a new job up town after I got laid off the month right after 9/11. But I was working down there when it happened. But even uptown in the days and weeks after you would see posters all over the place from the families of the victims looking and searching for their loved ones. No matter where you went you would see a poster with a face of someone lost!
Fake-indian guy needs to explain how people working in finance are remotely comparable to Eichmann. "Fueling the war machine" ain't a sufficient explanation.
Neither can I. On that day, it appeared as though we were all as ONE - standing as AMERICANS - no 'sides' at all. United, everywhere we went. Here in Kentucky, I had plans to go to the city (Louisville - 40 miles away), but changed my mind, as early on it was unclear if there were further targets. So, I stayed close to home, and everywhere, the bank, Walmart, the drugstore - we all just smiled at each other with tears, hugged, talked, and watched and prayed. No strangers here on that day!
Then, barely any time goes by at all - and there is finger pointing, and separation, and blame throwing. What gives? I will never understand it either. And to the Leftist Media who ONLY show the BAD going on in Iraq with OUR soldiers - If I were not of the mindset I am, I would curse like a sailor and tell them what I REALLY think. It's time to conquer that venue - if we achieve nothing else! The Media needs a lot of redirection. Thank God for my remote!
My heart goes out to the many families who lost someone they treasured, and especially those today who still have no remains. I pray for comfort and strength for them. Their treasured loved ones really would have wanted them to go on. Words fail me...
Yes it is.
I agree entirely. I work and live in NYC and have seen it all happen before my eyes and cannot understand how complacent NYers have become again!
BCM's brother Mike said it best at the concert in NY for the Police and FD:
"Osama bin Laden, you can kiss my Royal Irish a$$."
And I believe their mother then said she did not know whether to hug him or spank him!!
Have the NYPD and NYFD put color guards on it like Marines and soldiers do around the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers.
I hadn't heard that! But I could have hugged him.
