I've been a lurker or member of a lot of sites over the years, and every time I go back and revisit these old links, I get the shivers. I try to tell myself that I'm over it, but just re-reading what we were all saying just wrecks me. So much more powerful than the media doing repeats of their coverage.
WOW! re-reading the articles and posts sure made me relive the moment.

Bump!
Bump for the thread. Anyone have a link for the 911 site with the slide show of the attack? This is for a homeschooler project. Thanks.
Hal, shortly after I first landed on Free Republic, I came across SamAdams76's very chilling dream post he wrote on May 10, 2001:
Strange Dream: Post #16
Sam, have you had any similar dreams since September 11, 2001?
I was hoping to find this posted today.
I remember reading those threads.

I've had this link on my profile page for years.
The song is an earworm for me.
Thanks to both for the links.

So painful to look back and remember.
I do remember one foolish thing though. After the first message on FR that morning that said a second plane had hit the other tower, I sent a message in reply saying that was a bad joke and reprimanding whoever posted that. I just could not accept the truth. I hadn't seen a TV yet at that time. If I can find that post in the archives, I will apologize to the member who wrote that first message.
