This got a lot of postive reviews yesterday, so here he is again. Ladies and gentlemen, we are pleased to present to you:

UNCLE SLAM

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you, I knew you would be able to answer my question. And, the time of the Pentagon attack? I've been searching and have not been able to find it.

[Mama_Bear]

The photographs you bring are very much appreciated, especially this one today. Thank you.

American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757, departs Dulles International Airport at 8:10 a.m. ET en route to Los Angeles with 64 people on board. The plane is hijacked and air traffic control loses contact with the plane in southern Ohio. The commercial jetliner ends up crashing into the west side of the Pentagon at 9:43 a.m.

Thanks for bringing the SlamMan back today - very nice.

United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757, departs Newark International Airport at 8:01 a.m. ET en route to San Fransisco with 44 people on board. The plane is hijacked and makes an immediate u-turn just south of Cleveland. As the plane heads toward an unknown target - possibly Camp David, Air Force One, the White House or another location in Washington, D.C. - it drops from the sky and crashes at 10:10 a.m. just north of the Somerset County airport, about 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

Thank you for being here with us, Aqua. The images of the attack are hard to see, but I think we must keep them before us, at least in our minds, not just today, but everyday. We must not forget. We must not ever become complacent.

Here are my previous two pictures, along with another I took on the same occasion, from a different view. I wish I had more of my pictures but this is all I could find. If I find the others I will scan them and post them.

Anyway, enjoy the views.

American Airlines Flight 11, a Boeing 767, departs Boston's Logan International Airport at 7:59 a.m. ET en route to Los Angeles with 92 people on board. The plane is hijacked and turns sharply southward to New York. Streaking from north to south along the length of the island of Manhattan, the commercial jetliner slams into the north tower of the World Trade Center at 8:45 a.m.

Our amazing lodwick does it again. Thanks for finding and posting the information for us.

9:43. I will be observing a moment of silence in memory of those who parished in the attack on our Pentagon.

United Airlines Flight 175, a Boeing 767, departs Boston's Logan International Airport at 8:14 a.m. ET en route to Los Angeles with 65 people on board. The plane is hijacked and almost immediately diverts south to New York. The commercial jetliner loops around the lower end of Manhattan and approaches the World Trade Center from the west, hitting the second building at 9:03 a.m.

Pear Harbor, the Pentagon, the WTC and Flight 93...NEVER FORGET!

This is a rough day, Mama Bear. We are living through it again, BUT it only strengthens our resolve. As Bush said, this will not be a short war, but it is completely necessary. And Saddam must go, he isn't making bio-chemical warfare weapons and going for nuclear capability for nothing. And we're on his short list. We'll stop their madness, no matter what, because we have to.

Our amazing google does it again. ;-)

Super gif - thank you. JL

I knew you were going to give Google the credit. :-)

Good Morning everybody!
A year ago today I was still just a lurker on FR, but when I got home after leaving my work earlier than expected, I was in such shock that I know I was wandering around in a daze and in disbelief.

I turned on the computer and went right to FR and was comforted by those who osted that day on various threads. I sensed anger and shock mixed with grief and determination that we might have been hit and wounded, but we can still fly, by the Grace of God.

Since today I can post, let me say in great big words:


MAY GOD BLESS ALL WHO POST AND LURK ON THIS THREAD AND ON FREEREPUBLIC!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
LET'S ROLL Y'ALL!!

[Mama_Bear]

I was not able to be here much yesterday, so I didn't see that graphic of Uncle Sam. Thanks for posting it here.

[Mama_Bear]

If I find the others I will scan them and post them.

Please do. Thank you, Mixer for what you bring to this thread. You are appreciated. :-)
