Seven years and it still feels like yesterday.
As we near the somber anniversary, the emotions come flooding back.
May God bless the families of those lost and injured on that horrific morning.
May God bless our troops, military families and first responders, who sacrifice so much each day to keep us safe.
Never forget.
SEVEN Year Bump
Dómine Iesu Christe, Rex glóriæ, líbera ánimas ómnium fidélium defunctórum de pnis inférni et de profúndo lacu; líbera eas de ore leónis, ne absórbeat eas tártarus, ne cadant in obscúrum; sed signifier sanctus Míchaël repræséntet eas in lucem sanctam, quam olim Abrahæ promisísti et sémini eius. (ex Missali Romano)
O Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory, deliver the souls of all the faithful departed from the pains of hell and from the bottomless pit; deliver them out of the lions mouth, lest hell should swallow them up, lest they fall into the outer darkness; but let Thy standard-bearer, Saint Michael, bring them back into Thy holy light, which Thou didst promise of old to Abraham and to his seed.
My children and I will never, ever forget.
We will never forget.
hellinahandcart: Yours is the thread I remember most on 9/11/01. Can't believe it's been 8 years... seems like only yesterday. God bless all of those who were affected by this horrendous attack on our homeland.
Here you go.
Never Forget
200 years from now, I want their children's children's children
to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead
because their legends tell of fire from the sky.
I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth,
shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines
because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters
crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.
I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with
"If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you",
and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obedience.
I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology
will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea
.. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.

RESISTOR
Swear allegiance to the flag, whatever flag they offer;
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly for, someday, sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still.

Interesting that by the 38th post, 15 minutes into the thread and maybe 25 minutes after the attack started, Osama Bin Ladens name came up.
Did you ever think that we would be speaking of a Mosque near there today?
