NEVER FORGET...NEVER FORGIVE!!!!!
Thank you.
Freepers never forget; Freepers are with you now and forever. FreeRegards, V's wife.
WOW! I've never seen that sat photo! Do you know when exactly it was taken?
Our daughter and I went down to NYC during the spring and went down to Ground Zero. I was glad to see that the cross is still there.
Never in a million years will I forget. There is still some serious payback to be dealt. We will achiev the inevetable victory.
BTW, the powerpoint presentation accompanied by Enya's song, which I can't recall the title, is still the best thing I've seen produced in relation to the 9/11 attacks. It still brings tears to my eyes. I have it bookmarked and watch it from time to time. Very powerful presentation.
We just saw the show about Rick Rescorla. It was very well done. His widow, Susan is such strong person. At the end of the show, she talked about just how proud she was of his actions on that day.
Fantastic picture.
What that lady is doing in this picture is the LAST THING she would have thought she'd be doing while getting ready for work that morning. My feeling is that she made a decision that she never would have made in her life, that being to jump rather to burn to death. One of many that was put in that spot four years ago today.
Never forget what those bastards did that morning. I know I won't.
Damn, that's a haunting image.

Thank you for viewing & caring so much for Mrs. SUSAN RESCORLA, Freeper SuziQ.

I never forgot, but thank you for helping me to remember.
My heart breaks for New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. I don't want to play a numbers game and direct my mourning based on such. Each life was precious and irreplaceable. But, I promised those of 911 I would never forget. I made a vow to them. I promised them I would care for their widows and children and aging parents. I can not forget, I vowed I would not forget.
Why has the media not shown me how my children and widows are doing. What do they need now? How are they remembering? How are their days? Those long summer Sundays? Tuesdays? How do they get through Tuesday?
Sorry for lamenting here. Thank you for helping me remember what I can't forget.
My Q and A with the President Derry NH
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/09/20040920-11.html
Q Mr. President, my brother is an NYPD, emergency service unit, Truck number 2. I just wanted to say -- you mentioned the -- his partner in the State of the Union address. You mentioned his father, John Vigianno, and the two boys.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, I know them well.
Q I just want to say, thank you, as being a beacon of strength at a time of need for our country.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, sir. (Applause.) Your brother was their partner?
Q My brother-in-law is Rob Beeger (phonetic,) Truck number 2.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, yes.
Q I've got a picture of them with you.
THE PRESIDENT: What a great family. You're not going to believe this family. Two sons go in the rubble and don't come out. It's really important we never forget that day. It's just important. It's a part of our history.
You know, I -- you've got a question, or do you want to keep going?
Q I actually have a question for you, as well.
THE PRESIDENT: Okay, good. (Laughter.) I was about to wax eloquently. (Laughter.) Or at least wax. (Laughter.)
Q Is that from the top of my head? (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: See, you probably appreciate my comments about Vice President Cheney. (Laughter.)
Q I just don't have the curls, either.
THE PRESIDENT: That's right. (Laughter.) Go ahead.
Q I hear a lot of things in the press in regards to what's happening in Iraq. I don't appreciate the fact that the press only presents a certain point of view. I hear different things, and one thing I've learned -- I did a little bit of studying -- I was wondering if you can tell me a little bit about Salman Pak. And we know about Zarqawi and how he's causing all sorts of problems in Fallujah.
And the other question I have, real quick is, is that I watched a special on Fox News last night on the U.N. -- the oil for food scandal. And the thing is, is that when it comes down to the oil for food scandal, we have a lot of countries that opposed us at the very beginning of the war that have a lot of money staked in with Saddam. And I was just wondering if, when you address the U.N., do you plan on bringing it up to these countries? (Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: No. (Laughter.) There is an investigation going on. Paul Volker is leading the investigation, and it's best that the investigation run its course.
Zarqawi -- look, here's the situation. It's tough as heck in Iraq right now because people are trying to stop democracy. That's what you're seeing. And Iraqis are losing lives, and so are some of our soldiers. And it breaks my heart to see the loss of innocent life and to see brave troops in combat lose their life. It just breaks my heart. But I understand what's going on. These people are trying to shake the will of the Iraqi citizens, and they want us to leave. That's what they want us to do.
And I think the world would be better off if we did leave -- if we didn't -- if we left, the world would be worse. The world is better off with us not leaving. It's a mistake to pull out. Can you imagine what Iraq would be like today if Saddam Hussein were in power? It would be terrible for them, and we'd be dealing with a guy who had just totally ignored the demands of the free world. The sanctions weren't working. We know he had the capability of making weapons and it was just a matter of time.
No, we didn't find the stockpiles we thought would be there. But his desire to make weapons and the ability to make them and the ability to work with these terrorist organizations was a threat we could not afford to take. (Applause.)
Secondly, if we put an artificial timetable out there on withdrawal, all the enemies says is, we'll wait them out. Our mission has got to be to help to train the Iraqis, get them on the path to stability and democracy as quickly as we can, and then our troops come home. But to complete the mission. It makes no sense to pull out of there early. If we pull out of there early, Iraq will come even more dangerous. (Applause.) See, we've got to get it right in Afghanistan and Iraq, and we will. And now, it's a matter of will.
You asked me what's it's like there. It's tough. But Prime Minister Allawi is the best way to -- the best person to talk to there. He said, this is -- this is desperation by these people. They're watching TV screens, too. They're watching the reactions of people around the world. They see countries pull out of Iraq. They saw what happened when one country pulled out after a citizen was beheaded. They saw what happened after elections in Europe. They know that people are -- can grow weary of this battle. We've got to be firm and strong. I believe we're right in what we're doing. And I believe democracy in Iraq is going to happen, and I believe the world will be better off for it. (Applause.)
I thought it was interesting that each of the families interviewed believed that their loved one had an important role in the takeover of the flight. It was very poignant.

I'm with you, SuziQ, in spades.
My fellow 1960 Rancho Alamitos High Graduating Senior JOHN PTAK has just put together a Movie about Flight 93 that's to be released next 9/11.
For very good reason it appears..?
