Just looking at the pictures and this thread again
brought back tears to my eyes. I can't talk, either.
NEVER forget.
NEVER.
Anniversary BUMP. Never forget.
Let's keep these great Americans in mind as we approach Memorial Day this upcoming weekend. Many of them were in effect the first soldiers in the war against Islamic terrorism as we now know it.

I was there.
I lived about a mile from the WTC, and I will never, never, never, never forget that day or the days that followed.
This is what islam brings, murder, death, and mayhem. Murderous islamofacist-nazi SUB HUMAN SCUM. No talks, negotiations, wipe the terrorists out, PUT THEM IN DIRT.

Just reading the title makes my heart rate go up.
Chilling to read 5 years later.
God bless the United States of America.
Never forget.
We will never forget.
Let me add this account of that morning by my son. He later joined the Marine Corps and died fighting in Iraq.

Dad-
I'm typing this at school during lunch. I went through the webmail backdoor, because the school isp blocks most communication sites. If you don't already know, a bunch of planes, passengers and all, were hijacked and made kamikaze runs. First one plowed into the World Trade Center, causing one tower to collapse. A second plane, looked like a 737 or something slammed into the second one shortly thereafter. A little after 1030 we got to a classroom that was picking up the news, and right after that we saw the second tower go. Titus pulled the cable, doesn't want the school panicking, but word is moving faaaaast. Also, a commuter plane hit teh pentagon, all key government officials are being evacuated, bush is on his way home. Unconfirmed reports state that a car bomb went off outside the state department. FAA has grounded everything and fighters can be seen scrambling. A few hijacked planes are still missing, another jet crashed earlier in the day a short distance from the airport, but no one is sure whether or not its related. 1 palestinian group has so far claimed responsibility, but they all try to be proud and stupid. The real perpetrators would know that once the US finds out, they would be incinerated into the stone age. This is an amazingly well coordinated attack, focusing on the major symbols of the free world, all within 1 hour. All the history teachers have studied and have known that there is gap in recent years that should be filled by a war, not just a little gulf war. Even I knew it was coming, but I never expected such a violent and unprecedented attack. This could easily erupt into a holy war if there are enough zealots in palestine and elsewhere, and could cause a huge conflict that could spell the end of the muslim faith. I hope it doesn't get that global, but you can be sure the world will not let this one go unpunished. This is without a doubt the biggest, most vicious act of terrorism (if not an act of war) in modern times, if not the history of mankind. Looks like Bush and the military will be getting those funds to finish research on all those new weapons and fighters scheduled for the next 8 years. Well, I'll see what's going on when i get home, most of the news sites here are normally blocked anyway by the school isp. Just let you know that we heard it too. Now that I'm done, there could have been another attempt at something, although national security forces probably would've intercepted. Nonetheless, the nation has been really jarred, and while I fear what's going to come, most of it is channeled into anger in knowing that something will happen. Take care, and buy more ammo.

Never forget
Never, ever forget.
Wow. I can’t believe I found this. It’s surreal to be reminded of how I felt that day and reliving it in real time again. God bless this site and for keeping these old logs of our conversations.
