It's even more shocking now, knowing how the DBM/dems are trying to do everything they can to make America fail on the WOT!!

Godspeed to the USA!

It takes a lot of cash to smash two jets, don't you think? Can you say Osama bin-Laden?

This was the best place to be that horrible day that is for sure. We will never forget that day, and thanks so much for the links to the threads.

I was off work that morning, getting ready to leave in the afternoon for a Branson vacation. I was driving to the grocery store in the morning when I heard the local country DJ say that two planes had hit the WTC. I called my wife on the cell and told her to turn on the TV.

After I got to the store, she called me, crying, to say the first WTC tower had fallen. People at the store were beginning to talk about it. As I drove home, she called again, barely able to speak, to tell me the second tower had fallen. "Please, please come home now!"

I got home a few minutes later and we watched it on TV as we prepared to leave (we were meeting her parents from Texas, so there was no consideration of cancelling). We made a decision to allow our two oldest children, at that time 14 and 11, to watch it all with us. That afternoon, we drove to Branson (about a 3 1/2 hour drive) and were surprised by the long gas lines and the rapidly escalating gas prices (many of those stations were subsequently prosecuted by the AG for price gouging, a crime in Missouri).

We met my in-laws in Branson, where we were renting a large cabin. We did Branson stuff during the days, went to shows at night, then watched Fox News until about 3:00 am each night. The Branson entertainers changed their shows to meet the emotional needs we all had. There was a lot of patriotism (even more than normal for that great town) and prayers. I will never forget that week and now, five years later, I am as angry as I was that day. I, for one, will never forget.

Is there a link somewhere to listen to the 911 calls from that terrible day?

Wow and thanks. Reading the quotes as fast as I could brought up all the horror and terror I felt on that unbelieveable day. Glad that so many FReepers were interlinked through FR and able to be connected.

All this was before I joined FR, but it is such an example of what a huge community FR is and how important each member is to the others.

Okay, I'm tearing up now, gotta quit posting.

Thanks again NewLand and all. We must help people recall September 11, 2001 and the events which followed.
