Forget? Maybe.
Forgive? NEVER!
Tragedy?
TRAGEDY?

“It marked the end of impregnable America and began an age of vulnerability.”
Maybe it was just me, or maybe not, but the America I remember before 2001 had been 10 years out of a long period of being targeted by Soviet missiles, and never invulnerable. Strong enough to go to the brink of nuclear war with the only other superpower at that....and now, after a decade, total incompetence and weakness in the form of Obama...
"The buildings were gone and that was too much to bear because they couldn't be gone, they couldn't have fallen. Because no one could knock down those buildings."
For months, maybe a year, I would look in the direction--no, stare intently--in the direction of lower Manhattan from the NJ Turnpike on my way to and from work. It was still inconceivable that those massive buildings were gone.
December 7, 1941, 60 years have past since Pearl Harbor and we who honor our country have not forgotten! Especially those of us who had parents fight in WW11. My dad fought in the Pacific under MacArthur.
Where were you when the world stopped turning?

We were coming out of a Cracker Barrel just having had breakfast, heading home to Memphis, after working a week in Las Vegas for hubby’s company and his boss called. We stood there stunned for a while, then ran like crazy for home. What took 3.5 days to drive out took 2.5 to get home.
Listened to radio, and spotty TV on the little portable. And when we could drive no more lay with our eyes on the news until we passed out each night.
No, like Pearl Harbor the majority of us who love this country will NEVER FORGET!
Bill Clinton's other legacy.
