Did our parents (in many cases grandparents) forget Pearl Harbor? Before that was the SS Lusitania & the Zimmerman Telegram. Before that was the USS Maine and the Alamo and the shot heard ‘round the world.
I couldn’t forget if I tried. I watched Muslim terrorists on live TV turn a section of Uptown Manhattan into a Smoking crater. I also saw that day one side of the Pentagon turned into a charnel house. Never forget.

It is not a bleeping Day of Service.
It is a day of remembrance, a day forever to be mourned. We mourn all whom we lost, and we mourn the innocence of this country. We commemorate the heroes who arose that day.
9/11 changed us forever. There should be more on TV about it. Everyone needs to see and think and cry. Every year.
I remember most the people in the streets around the world celebrating the attacks on America. America experienced her share of people in the streets celebrating the attacks on America also that day. Wake Up Call of all Wake Up Calls. Thirteen years into this War, America and America’s Children are more vulnerable to an attack on America’s soil more than ever before. The warnings have not been heeded. Few to none have stood up to state the warnings to the public and the media has ignored mostly any and all threats. Sad Sad Day 911 was and is. Prayers for No Repeat!
I was sleeping when the first plane hit because my baby daughter decided to sleep in, which was a luxury. My husband was at work. I didn't keep my cell near my bed “way back then” because I didn't want to be disturbed if my daughter was asleep. But my phone kept ringing and ringing. I finally got up, went downstairs, and answered. My my father was saying “we're under attack!” I was sleepy as I said “What?” My father was military and a long time firefighter, then retired. Only one plane had hit. But he knew. I turned on the TV, thinking maybe he was over reacting. And then the second plane hit. He hung up with me to call my brother, a Marine. My husband called, and my daughter woke up.
My father passed away not that long afterward. When I think of 9/11, I think of my father. In his position he had to go to some meetings about defense of your city, or something like that a few weeks later. It seemed so unreal to me. But I will never forget, how could anyone? I remember being glued to the TV--even watching MSNBC for a while! I also remember thinking thank God we don't have President Gore!
This town hall meeting took place Sep 10, 2001 in Amherst Mass 12 hours before the first plane struck the towers in New York City, before the Pentagon was hit, and before Flight 93 was taken down in a suicide dive by the terrorists who were beign overrun by brave Americans.
This video is significant because of the statements made at the 40 minute to 50 minute mark and again at the 1 hour 10 minute mark which were in response to comments made at the 45 minute mark.
Keep in mind this was made 12 hours before the World Trade Center was attacked on 9/11.

“If you don’t take time to remember, you forget”
Unfortunately, Americans had already forgotten by 2008 with the election of Barack Hussein Obama, a good Muslim name.
He never fails to defend Islam; if only he would defend America and Christians.
I remember several times a day every day.
