Upon request, I have collected links to many of the earliest threads from September 11, 2001 below. I reviewed threads from the very first FR report (http://www.freeRepublic.com/focus/fr/520255/posts)through thread number 520326. Feel free to add other significant threads, including photo archives. Bumping this thread periodically instead of the original threads will also avoid scaring people with the headlines.
Bookmark this thread, and bump it from time to time when the nation and the press seems to forget why we need resolve in the face of evil. Forgive some of the early misinformation and broken photo links, and recall the horror and fury.

Yes, unfortunately, I spent Sep 10-11 in airport purgatory this year. Thanks for asking!
It seems so long ago that I reviewed all of these threads and alternately cried and gritted my teeth in anger, as I added them to the archive list. Yet, each year, it all comes back when I read them again.
Remember what is at stake on election day!

Never forget ...
STRASBOURG, France (AP) — Welcomed with thunderous cheers, President Barack Obama pledged on Friday to work repair damaged relations with Europe, saying the world came together following the 2001 terrorist attacks but then “we got sidetracked by Iraq.”
Memorial Day bump. Never Forget.
Never forget the terrorists that attacked us.
Eighth anniversary of the attack is coming soon. God bless the CIA interrogators who got the information to block the follow up attacks.
And never forget that they declared war on us. We did not choose this. They did.
I remember posting something like “Exterminate terrorist vermin” a lot.
In memory.
****BUMP****
In Memory
Bump. Compilation of threads from that day...
I think that for today, this thread should be unlocked so folks can see how our FRiends reacted...
Never Forget.
We, as a country, did not react forecefully enough. Too quickly, the Left reverted to anti-war partisanship, hoping for America to lose in Iraq. We stopped short of Iran, Syria. We have not seen the end of this war. To our enemies, this is a Total War. They have just lacked the means to pursue it to its logical conclusion. Now they see us as not wanting to fight it much longer at any scale.
This is a perilous time.
Teach your children about that day and the times that we live in. May they never forget. Too many already have forgotten.
