"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" - Santayana
This day shows how STRONG wwe as a country can be when unified after a tragedy such as this. People became more compassionate and understanding of each other. That day, and for some time following; people who were hardened and gruff became softer and less brash, more understanding and compassionate towards others. THAT unfortunately has been forgotten! This was a day in history that was fostered the bloodiest yet most cowardly attack on our country. Innocent people died. And for what? "Forget" or "Put to Rest"? I think not! 343 FDNY Firefighters died that day! The NYPD and the Port Authority lost 60 officers that day! Many of them charged into those structures KNOWING deep down they probably would not come out and go home! They did not feel like heroes, rather they were doing their jobs! Also, we should remember our vets that have served in retribution to this event in "The War on Terror" and have laid down their lives to protect our freedom we enjoy! God Bless the souls that passed this day in 2001! God Bless and watch over the families that lost loved ones!
By the way for those of you who think that I have no stake in this, I lived a few blocks from the World Trade Centers and I had my wedding reception at the top of the twin towers. The WTCs were part of my community and I would catch the train located under the towers when I commuted to New Jersey.,. so please let's move on.
Forgive but don't forget least it happen again. What is a 'troll'? I served in both VietNam and Desert Storm. I won't forget either. Nor will I forget those that hid in Canada and then came back after a Presidential Pardon as if nothing was wrong. My dead friends will never come back. Thank you Canada.
Take care Rober and god bless.
Take care and god bless.
They wreaked havoc on the world and thousands upon thousands of innocent people. They got theirs in the end. At least that region has had most of the "infection" removed to try and bring some sense of stability back. Do I feel bad about what happens to innocents over there? NO Why? Because most of them over there care not about what some of theior beloved terrorist friends did here in 2001! The only remorse I have is for the thousands of troopsa that have paid the price in removing that infectious scum from the face of this earth!
