Never forget! (Sept 11)
May we all take a moment this morning to remember the heroes,...fire, police and ems that ran into this destruction as others were running out...May
they all rest in peace.

In seeing all of the photos and memorials, I found my emotions to be just as tender today as they were 11 years ago. That day, I was working as a
Mobile Intensive Care Paramedic on a ground unit and did not know if I would be called for our attack and no, I will not forget. JH

The idiots are convinced we will forget. Let them see the Battleship Arizona memorial site lineup of people holding bouquets of flowers.
I wish that special Seal Team 6, member muttered "Let's Roll" as he pulled the trigger.

Never forget what?
That Clinton had a chance to shoot bin laden down NUMEROUS TIMES but didn't take the shot? http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2012/04/28/media-...
Never forget the US government's intelligence community dropped the ball on seeing the attack coming?
Don't forget TSA and their show of ''security'' at airports.
You're safer in Mexico than the US. Keep remembering.

Iwill never forget the inocent people that lost thier life.
I will never forget they used it as a excuse to start two Wars
I will never forget they used it as a excuse to remove a lot of our civil liberty's.
I will never forgive them for what they did to our Nation.

Sorry Soulpatch, I lost two good friends in # 1 WTC. A woman and her 6-year old son. That's all I had to say.

People grieve in different ways. 9/11 is political if nothing else. How many people died in the Middle East because Bush declared war?
Grieve how you want. I'm PO'd at those responsible for letting it happen. Ignore the facts if you want.
Besides, how is this subject relevant to Baja. Nomads are grieving?
Move to OT or accept the US politics of being blindsided.
Bin laden is dead. Bet his family grieves his death.

Not Forgetting-
Tragic loss of life with the twin towers
Tragic loss of life resulting from the wars that continue to this day
Tragic permanent injuries of our Military personnel that is ongoing.
Tragic loss of personal liberties that will go on forever.
Tragic failure of the CIA, FBI, INS, in preventing the event in the first place.
Tragic financial losses resulting from the event and it's direct results.
Question- Who Really took the biggest hit here?

Being a tax guy, I was driving down the freeway early in the morning armed with coffee and danish to do another 18 hours on behalf of all my wonderful
clients who’s tax returns were due on the 17th, 15th was a Saturday. I’m thinking about convoluted tax strategies and with half an ear listening to
the radio; and it hits me – a plane hit something – something in New York – and the radio guy, I think it was Bill Handle, was going on and on about
smoke and fire and he wasn’t taking a breath between words and I couldn’t piece together what he was saying, but it sounded interesting. It must be a
skit! Sort of a War of the Worlds kinda thing, so I listened. After a few minutes the story wasn’t getting any better. In fact, it was pretty lousy –
nothing hung together and it was difficult to determine exactly what the story was about. I finally got downtown and as I was parking the car the news
came on – and it all came together. There aren’t too many times in my life when the blood just drained out of my head – and this was one of them. I
quickly called my wife and told her to turn on the TV; that we were being attacked. Of course she didn’t believe me. Then there was complete silence
as I was simultaneously listening to the radio in the car and the TV through the phone. I ran through the parking garage to the elevator and to my
office on one of the top floors of a downtown high-rise. When I got there people were already watching the TV in the conference room so I joined them.
I was dumbfounded by what I saw. It was then that the 2nd plane hit. Immediately the building security came through and took all our names and told us
to stay put. We looked down and saw that our building, no, all buildings were locked down – no one in, no one out. We also were told that there were
credible threats against our city. We saw the military choppers. I knew then that our world had irrevocably changed again. I never felt prouder to be
an American.
Whoa there, Cowboy - pull back on those reins!

Never Forget
That Islamists launched the attack.
That Islamists TODAY in Egypt and elsewhere are celebrating the attack and the deaths and that those Islamists would happily
kill us all tomorrow if they could.
Never forget that THEY will never be satisfied.
AND, it's US or THEM.
Better US that prevail.

Of course it's political! War and violence suck! I hold a lot of the same resentments that others have expressed here but will hold my tongue (and
fingers).
I believe the most important thing we must do this day is to remember those innocents who lost their lives in the twin towers, their families and the
brave heroes who rushed in to save lives but instead, lost their own. It is they whom we must "never forget".

Thanks for reminding me of the fear that was sold to US MrBill. Bin Laden was the mastermind but we invaded Iraq to go after Saddam. No doubt you were
beating war drums and waving flags, right? Your fear that Islamists would happily "KILL US ALL TOMORROW" proves the terrorists achieved their goal.
On Sept 10th, 2001 I was shuffling my feet in the warm Sea of Cortez. The next morning at home, realizing we made it across the border before the
lockdown, the images on TV had me frozen. 11 years later I am still more fearful of stingrays than I am of Islamists.
