Watched a program on PBS last night (I should have known better...) on the attacks on 9/11.
It started off on the reactions between the Air Traffic Control and NORAD's response to the hijackings. It was interesting, but then became the program became a venom spilled attack on the Bush Administration.
They exonerated the Clinton Administration and was relentless in going after Bush, and Condi Rice. They cited she never gave the commission answers they were looking for, which is nonsense. I saw those hearings.(It sounded as though Bill Moyers was narrating.)
I became angry at a program, and PBS, that instead of pulling people together on this anniversary, worked at splitting people apart, and exploiting a tragedy.
I find that despicable.
God bless you all on this anniversary, and God Bless America!
Thanks for the powerful memorial post! God Bless America.
Today I celebrate the extra 8.5 years of life that New Yorkers were given, due to the Mohammadmen's and Saddam's bad luck.
That was the 8.5 years between Feb 26, 1993, and September 11, 2001.

The National Interest, Winter, 1995/96
I remember a time when TV would sign off with The National Anthem and begin it's programming the same way. Then the liberals got hold of the networks and took that away. For those of you too young to remember rent Poltergeist......it's in the begining.
Thank you for creating this wonderful video. I have posted a link to this video from other websites, not realizing it was yours. Others have too. Hopefully that is OK.
I will never forget. I still remember virtually every minute of that day as if it was yesterday. Everyone has their 9/11/01 story. I have never shared mine publicly, only with friends. I would like to share one small part of that day with everyone, because it is very telling.
I was in Chicago on business, staying at the Fairmount hotel, downtown, near E. Wacker Drive. The occasion was our industry's annual major convention at McCormick Place. It was, as in NYC, a picture perfect beautiful day.
I was having breakfast at 7:00 a.m. CST with a VP from our company whom I had never met before. He is an Israeli who lives in Israel. I had to be at McCormick by 8:00am so we only had 30 minutes. We finished up and got in a cab at 7:35 or so. Our conversation started about the weather and then went something like this...
[me]"Have you been to Chicago before?"
[him]"Yes, the last time I was here, the Bulls had just won the championship"
[me]"I just read in the newspaper this morning that Michael Jordan may come back and play again, maybe for the Bulls"
He then says..."Isn't it amazing, in your country, the headlines are about Michael Jordan and sports and things like that. In my country, the headlines are about terrorists and bombings almost everyday.You Americans never have to worry about things like that!"
[me]"Yes, and I thank God that we don't".
Of course, these words were all being spoken at the exact moment that the first plane was about to fly into the WTC. The rest, as the saying goes, is history.
NEVER FORGET! TEACH YOUR CHILDREN ABOUT 9/11/01!
Your Life, Your Loved Ones and The Entire World Population May be at Stake
I just watched the most incredible video; In Memoriam, September 11, 2001. It seemed that nearly every strong emotion I have ever experienced I lived again in those fifteen minutes. In the end I was very sad yet resolved as never before.
Before I give you the video link I want you to do me a favor.
It's this: Set aside twenty minutes. Calm yourself and clear your mind. Then, in your mind's eye travel forward in time to Wednesday November 3, 2004 -- the day after the Presidential election. Once there, see yourself as you emotionally and rationally grasp the meaning of John Kerry having been elected President..
Make a good effort to place yourself on that future day and deal with the "reality" that John Kerry and not George Bush will be the President and Commander in Chief..
After you've completed that experience click on the video link and watch the movie. When you're ready, click here to watch the video.
Cacique,
I was just about to Google the Golding video. Thanks for posting it!
I have posted this as the second story in our new edition of Christian-news-in-maine.com with a link to this post for our readers to visit.
The story and link are below. Again my and the publishers thanks.:
IN MEMORIAM, SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
FreeRepublic.com
Unlike the legends in their own minds that make up the so called 'main stream media', we have joined with the wonderful men and women of FreeRepublic.com in remembering September 11, 2001. It was not a tragic accident like Peter Jennings, Dan Rather and their ilk would have you believe, no it was a savage act of first degree premeditated murder and terrorism. And act of extreme savagery, and act of sending idiot muslim satan worshipers to kill themselves in and effort to kill strangers.
This will take you some time to go through, but, it is well worth it.
It is those responsible for this act that John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, the French and the UN would rather we forget.

And thank God that He placed George Bush in the Office of Commander in Chief rather than Al Gore, a man who, even without any responsibilities, has gone completely insane since losing the election.

I took this photo at sunrise on September 12, looking west across the ruins of the World Trade Center, from the second floor of the World Financial Center on West Street. A lone FDNY firefighters stands in the foreground.
HERO
A little clutch of veterans share a table in a bar,
There's a guy off in the corner coaxing tunes from his guitar.
They watch the Hudson River as it rolls towards the bend
And they talk of Rick Rescorla as a comrade and a friend.
While out across the water, many ocean-miles away
Within a Cornish Tavern by a sandy Cornish Bay,
Another group are gathered, reminiscing as a clan,
And their thoughts are all of Tammy, from the schoolboy to the man.
And every head among them has a picture in its mind
Which time and place and memory have captured and consigned,
Now the pictures weld together until only one remains,
Of a sturdy, selfless hero guiding others from the flames.
It's a picture which unites them in their glory and their grief,
More eloquent than eulogies, confirming their belief
That theirs had been a privilege to saunter at his side
And in the way he'd lived his life had Rick Rescorla died.
The veterans recalled him in the killing fields of war
As a man whose potent presence would inspire and reassure,
Just one among his brothers when the skies began to fall,
Yet one whom they regarded as a father to them all.
And now their eyes will moisten at the mention of his name
And the sources and the substance of the legend he became,
When mayhem drove the best of men to crave their mother's love,
He'd stand and croon an anthem to the gory gods above.
And on that evil morning, so deceptively serene,
Amid another carnage, just as callous and obscene
Again he took the mantle of the sainted and the strong
To save the lives of others with a blessing and a song.
Between the Hudson River and the sandy shores of Hayle,
Though eyes encompass differences of latitude and scale,
All hands are linked together in the testament they bear,
They are but Rick Rescorla’s friends, united by a prayer.

Thank you so much for posting this.
I used to watch this video at least once a week.
I've NEVER been able to get ALL the way through it because I cry so much. It hurts as bad today as it did 9-11-01 and I didn't even lose a loved one that day. My heart goes out to all the families and I pray for them often.
This video should be a CONTINUOUS LOOP on ALL the major networks today. At minimum, it should have been shown continuously beginning with the time of the first plane until the towers fell (or whatever happened last).
So many in this country have indeed forgotten the pain of that day! I think they've been so dumbed down and treated the event as "entertainment or reality television" and simply moved on to something else when they grew weary of it.
I know I'm "preaching to the choir" when I say that we need to WAKE UP, AMERICA! My fellow freepers talk about the horror of that day often and will never forget. I hope there are some "lurkers" from the DNC visiting FR today and take a moment to watch that video and remember and realize they are supporting the WRONG GUY!
More importantly though, we all need to realize this is less about politics and more about the future of this country and the fight that we as individuals need to be ready for. I could go on, but I won't. I'll just end by saying prayers for all those families who lost someone and I promise to "NEVER FORGET."
Thank you. I've been looking for that all over. It seems that all of the previous links to it that were posted are now dead.
In Dallas we had a 5K run early this morning named "Let Freedom Run." Thinking of all the hardships that my son and his fellow Marines in Iraq are bearing as a result of the attacks on Sept. 11 propelled me to my best 5K time this year. The race organizers and volunteers (including police) did a great job and raised a lot of money that I hope will be put to good use in benefiting the police who deserve a lot of appreciation on this anniversary of the day of infamy three years ago.
