Never Forget!
According to my pc clock, it's now 8:46. I was walking on Church St. that day, heard the first plane hit the north tower right before me. Thus began my 9-11 experience.
Just watched the recap/special on Fox, and, damn, all of that rage came flooding back.
Never forgive - never forget.
The stupidity of the newscasters,
the horror as the buildings fell
the ash
the grief of children looking for a father
who was pulverized, never to be seen again,
the ash
the fear,
the sadness.
Never forget. Wow.
We must never forget!
Never forgive...Never forget!
So the mark of the Jihadists will forever emblazon our landscape. Is it time to cry for America yet...???????????? This design seems to be a fitting memorial for the Muslims who died aboard Flt 93. The hijackers whose ashes are fused into the shale with those of their victims, of all the shapes, in all of geometry, they pick the symbol of Muslim power, THE CRESCENT!!!
This is like making a holocaust memorial in the shape of a swastika. Absolutely disgusting. I think is a slap in the face of every solider that is fighting terrorism now. And a shameful way to honor those that have died in this fight.
Recognize it for what it is....
A commemoration for those who bravely died in their fight to expand islam!
Fouad El Bayly, leader of the Islamic Center of Johnstown, said the crescent isn't a holy symbol, but one identified with the lunar Muslim calendar.

(My posting on another thread)
I was recently at ground zero. The only thing there was a little booth which was closed because it was Sunday. The booth was some "oral" history project where people were invited to come in and share their memories about events, not 9/11 in particular. One of the offerings you could listen to was about how an old couple had first met. Not much of a "memorial" at all.
And while my family was on the scaffolding overlooking the location of the towers, I was looking at the dust that still encased a nearby, unoccupied building. I wondered how much of the dust was the remains of the the people who were ether incinerated or crushed that day. Morbid, I know. But there were over 1,000 people, I believe, who had no remains to find!
Even though this was the first time I had been in New York since 9/11, the event lives with me every day. When I listen to all those crazy anti-war nuts, and a lot of just plain normal folks, I have to wonder how they can be missing ability to be empathetic. Didn't they ever wonder what they would do if they were on one of the hijacked planes, or if they would have waited to die in the fire or if they would have jumped out of the 105th floor? Don't the ever think about what they would have said to a loved one calling from a floor above the impact, a loved one they would never talk to again? Can the memories of Americans really be that short??
If we can't remember how the War on Terror started, how will we be able to win it? This will be a long war, but I fear that too many people just don't care anymore about anything beyond their daily existence, that we may lose!
