Smoke Cloud from Flight 93 after impact
We shall never forget. We will never forget. Our leaders have forgotten.
History is doomed to repeat itself.

I wish like anything one of the television networks would actually show the films of people jumping out of the windows and the whole events that day over and over. Just to remind America why we honor the people who died that day and those affected and injured by it.
John Moran
Battalion Chief - Battalion 49

If God was interested in good company he found it in John Moran. John was truly a modern day Renaissance man. He displayed equally assets of physical and intellectual prowess, all wrapped up in true humility. Think of society's loss of an individual who dedicated his life to service in the form of fighting fires and saving lives.
He answered the call for leadership by rising to the rank of Battalion Chief, enduring departmental exams for years and at the same time attaining a Juris Doctorate from Fordham University School of Law. An accomplished musician, John played bass guitar, guitar, piano, the Irish tin whistle, drums and I would imagine a few other instruments, as well as singing.
John Moran was an Irish Lion with a heart to match, he embodied so much that makes me proud to be an Irish-American, and his brother Mike did us all justice by plainly stating what we all felt. Beach 118th Street at the Boardwalk has been renamed Chief John Moran Way.
How about a grassroots effort to implore Fox to run 2 hours of actual footage from the day of the attack. By 9/11, Beck will have the networks highest ratings, he could lead the effort. Would tie into his 9/12 coverage. BTW-why the HELL have we not rebuilt those twin towers yet?
.
How quickly we forget those almost 3,000 innocent Americans who were murdered by the Islamists.
Every American should view this video made by a New Yorker who lived through the attack:

This video has been viewed by millions and is now in the Smithsonian.
The video includes the planes crashing into the buildings and victims jumping. There are pictures of many of those who lost their lives, and president Bush’s aftermath speech set to the haunting background music, ‘Only Time’ by Enya. Awesome.
