Nothing brought it back like this thread.
Is there a way to download an entire thread?
America...may we never fail to defend liberty.
Yearly we bring back this thread ... never forget.
Never Forget!
Every year I go back and find this thread and post it because it is important to all of us ... and to never forget.
Yep. If you look back, you’ll see I’m an annual contributor to this thread as well.
This thread brought that day flooding back to me. I was on the Throgs Neck Bridge heading to my office on Long Island when the 2nd plane hit. I will never forget the sick feeling I had knowing that so many people had to have died at that moment. We lost a very close friend in the North Tower and had connections to many, many others who were killed. Never forget everyone!
My brother was in the Pentagon. He made it out, but he wasn’t able to get hold of anyone in the family ‘til about 11:30 that night and let them know he survived...
Tomorrow is my wedding anniversary.
Never Forget.
Post 911...:-(
Oddly, your post is #911.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
11 years later, affected my personal and professional life heavily.
Never Forget.
It never fails, whenever I read that...I get chills going up and down my body - even 11 years later.
I timed it that way ;-). I’ve bumped this thread every September since 2002...it’s a personal thing with me.
Thank you for doing so. We must NEVER FORGET!! EVER!!!
Joe, thank God he got out of there alive! When I called my secretary to tell her what had happened and that I would be arriving late she said: “Oh my God , my son works in the Trade Center!” My blood went cold hearing that. Luckily, he also was able to get out alive. My wife was working in downtown NYC and one of our sons was in high school on the Upper East Side. I was unable to reach them until early in the morning on the 12th! Just a horrible, horrible time in all of our lives.
Please thank your brother for his service to our country for me!
47th floor, North Tower.
Remains never found, gear never found.
Godspeed BCM.
Good job. Thanks for not forgetting.
