PING!

I will never forget, DollyCali. I hope this thread runs every anniversary of the atrocious slaughter of fellow Americans. Folks simply going about their day, like everyday. 2010 is no different from 2008 or 2006 or any year since that horrific, cowardly attack.

I surely regret that we do not have a magnificent memorial already built over the site of the slaughter by hateful muslim radicals.

Most folks don't know that today is officially called "Patriot Day".

The day was so named by President George W. Bush in commemoration of the 2001 terrorist attacks.

So fly your flags proudly and defiantly every Sept. 11 and henceforth because it is a governmentally designated day to honor the 3000 innocent victims.

Patriot Day is also a day for remembering the deadly sneak attack against our country itself, which like Pearl Harbor, is a day that will live forevermore in infamy.

The brave, brave men of Flight 93. It still brings tears to my eyes.

Carole - my family home is in Cumberland, MD. When I turned on the TV and saw what was going on, I immediately picked up the phone to call my mom and ask her if she had her TV on. She said, 'I don't have time to talk right now, I'm putting on my nursing uniform. We're the closest major hospital to Shanksville. They've called in the entire staff, and we're setting up a huge triage unit in the parking lot to receive survivors. Love you, gotta go.'

Survivors who never arrived.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Watched the recap on Fox this afternoon....never forget!

Just re-reading this 9/11 commemorative thread today, and noticed the beautiful picture of your husband. I think of meeting you when you came out to Walter Reed during GoE2 and often wonder how you are doing, and wanted to say hello and God bless you.

[Albion Wilde]

Beautiful posts. Thank you so much. It is so quiet here today. People’s bodies remember even if their minds have forgotten.

I will never forget the silence in the several days afterward, when all air traffic was suspended, trucking was suppressed due to no air shipments, and people were too stunned to rush madly about in cars. I had not experienced that much silence in the U.S. since childhood in the 50s.

It was fitting, if not intentional, while the grief was so immediate.

Bless you for posting this.

Debra Burlingame, the sister of Charles “Chic” Burlingame III, the pilot of the hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 that was flown into the Pentagon on 9/11 by Al Qaeda terrorists, when asked “What does she miss about the days immediately after 9/11” states

“I miss the anger.”
