A beautiful and very powerful presentation. Brings the horror and grief right back to the front burner. The bastards who committed this crime deserve to die a thousand times.

Indeed, let us never forget. Never.

We posted a similar item at our site Insightmag.com sent to me but with no credit. If you know the source let me know.

I'm requesting any links of such a nature as the one posted at FreeRepublic be forwarded to me directly at: mailto:editor@insightmag.com

We will collect them and post as time allows (hopefully with full credit). It is the least we can do to remember. And as I said, to never forget.

God bless you, your families, and America.

Paul

Answered my own question. If you have a Mac (as I do) the following works: 1. Hold your mouse over the link. 2. Select "save link to disk" 3. Pick location. When you double click on the icon, it will open in QuickTime, but with no sound. Open IE, and select the file using the menu, and it will load in no time at all.

Beautiful site.

In honor of this Veterans Day weekend, here is another 9/11 tribute link that I recieved just today via email. Touching.

We will not forget, Nigeria, Somalia, Kenya, Lebanon, and especially the attack on 9/11.

From the author (bold added):

This has been a work-in-progress and began the day after the attack at the World Trade Center and Pentagon. I survived the attack itself by being late to work that day, but I lost many people who were not so lucky. I created the page to honor those I lost, those that America had lost and all of those dedicated, caring human beings who responded to this wanton cowardly act and who we refer to simply as heroes.

This has effected me to the core of my soul. My soul cries out for those that I lost, those I didn't know, for my city, for the Pentagon, for the nation. The page has evolved to what it is now; a remembrance of those that were taken, those who sacrificed their lives in order to sustain our national resolve. We must remember what it is our nation is responding to and keep our flag waving proudly.

Since September 11, I have had the sensation of shaking on the inside and I frequently hold out my hands to make sure that I am not shaking. I suppose that it will subside with time. I know that we will overcome this dark, dark tragedy but I don't think that we will get over it. And I am not too sure that we should ever get over it. We live in a free society but with that freedom comes responsibility. It is our responsibility to continue forward, not allowing these horrific events to change our lives; otherwise the sub-human animals that perpetrated this on us wins.

For those of you who view this as "an opportunity to cease the cycle of violence," I want to remind you that there were 8,000 elementary school children, in grades pre-K through the 5th grades, that had to be evacuated from schools they attended in the shadows of the twin towers - some of whom had parents that worked in one of the 5 buildings that came down; Some of which no longer have mommies, daddies or both. Once we avenge their deaths, once we adequately respond to the worst attack on US soil, then, perhaps, you can talk to me about stopping the cycle of violence, because as far as I am concerned, that is exactly what we are doing right now - making sure that the world knows that when you do this to the United States, you risk unleashing a wrath that you never, ever dreamed of.

We must never forget September 11, America's Day of Emergency, we must remember that there is a price for freedom and a responsibility to freedom. It is our responsibility to defend freedom. Last item and I will get off my soap box: We did not ask for this war. We did not start this war. We will finish this war. We must because if we do not, the message we send is that it is OK to kill thousands of our countrymen and we don't have the resolve to see justice done.

I am humbled by the demand for this page and am deeply, deeply grateful for the overwhelming support for it.

God Bless New York. God Bless Virginia. God Bless America. We will prevail.

Regards,

Due to the tremendous demand that this page has created, the bandwidth has gone through the roof. As I understand it, the normal traffic for my entire Internet Provider is 10bps per month. This page is drawing 45 bps per day and I had to bring the page down temporarily. I am going to start listing mirror sites on the www.powforum.org/wtc site so that in the event I go down again, the page can still be viewed. Hopefully that will solve the problem.

Thanks for the information, LurkerNoMore!

I've been on the net a long time and there are few sites that I've found so profoundly moving.
My sense is that America is beginning to "move on".
I think President Bush's poor number ratings on t.v. reflect America's impatience.
These WTC tribute sites are important reminders, albeit painful ones, lest we forget and loose our resolve........

I've received a few emails concerning an inability to enter this WTC Tribute site.
As noted above, this site has been having a problem with bandwidth.
Please try these mirror sites:
