For those who joined post 9/11, I would ask you to pause and reflect on the two FReepers we lost on that day.

John Moran FDNY, North Tower WTC, FReeper handle BCM

Here is his tribute thread.

Barbara K. Olson, conservative author, Flight 77 the Pentagon, FReeper Handle BKO.

Here is her tribute thread.

I started reading her shortly after 9/11 but did not join until much later. I knew about Barbara but did not know of the other. I’m not sure but I did work on a quilt after 9/11 that went to a NYFD family and that photo looks an awful lot like the man who it was made for. Wouldn’t that be something if it was?

You have wonderful, bitter sweet memories. Her death was tragic, sad and horrific. Her death brought it home to a lot of us who didn't know anybody else who was murdered that day.

I'm happy that monster was killed up close and personal by our Navy Seals. Happy he knew who *got him*.

May God Bless and Keep You, my dear FRiend.

Lest we forget.

Bin Ladin’s death is no consolation to my friends wife
for the lose of her 23 year old daughter killed at
the Shanksville crash.

The account is long overdue and the vig continues
to grow.
