Short Photo Sequence of 9-11 Attack, Lest We Forget
November 2, 2001 | Travis McGee

Posted on 11/02/2001 9:24:35 AM PST by Travis McGee

I am so angry about certain posters on this forum blaming the 9-11 terrorist attacks on the USA that I thought that I should post a small collection of photos in one place which I think we should all remember.

"Support our war efforts to root out and destroy the civilization hating animals who are trying to do it again."

Ageed. And to all those opposed

Every time I've seen the photos, the horror of seeing the event live on the tube returns. I was in Jersey last week and, looking across the Hudson at the end of a long day,suddenly found myself thinking: Oh, yeah,... they're not there anymore.

Two thumbs up, way up! I can't look at those images without choking up, and feeling great anger and resolve. We need to stay focused on what this is all about. The networks should show these images every time they show an alleged "civilian" building bombed in Talibanstan.

Yes, and the building rubble is STILL SMOULDERING after almost 2 months! All Americans should be more than SMOULDERING with anger and outrage at this despicable act (I hear Daffy Duck when I write DEspictable!)...

I can't be sorry for the openness our society had before 9/11. It was part of what makes us the greatest nation in the world. I am APPALLED that the openness continues (GOOD GRIEF) in time of war, and I am DETERMINED to see my country through this to a time when it's safe to be that way again. We can't stop halfway this time. We have to root out all the terrorist-harboring nations. I'm for the Ottoman Empire, ruled by Turkey, again!

Two Thousand One, Nine Eleven

Two thousand one, nine eleven....
Five thousand plus arrive in heaven
As they pass through the gate,
Thousands more appear in wait

A bearded man with stovepipe hat
Steps forward saying,
"Lets sit, lets chat"
They settle down in seats of clouds
A man named Martin shouts out proud
"I have a dream!" and once he did
The Newcomer said, "Your dream still lives."

Groups of soldiers in blue and gray
Others in khaki, and green then say
"We're from Bull Run, Yorktown, the Maine"
The Newcomer said, "You died not in vain."

From a man on sticks one could hear
"The only thing we have to fear.
The Newcomer said, "We know the rest,
Trust us sir, we've passed that test."

"Courage doesn't hide in caves
You can't bury freedom, in a grave,"
The Newcomers had heard this voice before
A distinct Yankees twang from Hyannisport shores

A silence fell within the mist
Somehow the Newcomer knew that this
Meant time had come for her to say
What was in the hearts of the five thousand plus that day

"Back on Earth, we wrote reports,
Watched our children play in sports
Worked our gardens, sang our songs
Went to church and clipped coupons
We smiled, we laughed, we cried, we fought
Unlike you, great we're not"

The tall man in the stovepipe hat
Stood and said, "don't talk like that!
Look at your country, look and see
You died for freedom, just like me"

Then, before them all appeared a scene
Of rubbled streets and twisted beams
Death, destruction, smoke and dust
And people working just 'cause they must

Hauling ash, lifting stones,
Knee deep in hell
But not alone
"Look! Blackman, Whiteman, Brownman, Yellowman
Side by side helping their fellow man!"
So said Martin, as he watched the scene
"Even from nightmares, can be born a dream."

Down below three firemen raised
The colors high into ashen haze
The soldiers above had seen it before
On Iwo Jima back in '44

The man on sticks studied everything closely
Then shared his perceptions on what he saw mostly
"I see pain, I see tears,
I see sorrow - but I don't see fear."

"You left behind husbands and wives
Daughters and sons and so many lives
are suffering now because of this wrong
But look very closely. You're not really gone.

All of those people, even those who've never met you
All of their lives, they'll never forget you
Don't you see what has happened?
Don't you see what you've done?
You've brought them together, together as one.

With that the man in the stovepipe hat said
"Take my hand," and from there he led
five thousand plus heroes, Newcomers to heaven
On this day, two thousand one, nine eleven.....
