We must always remember
NYDailyNews ^ | 11 Sep 2008 | DEBRA BURLINGAME (sister of AA Flt 93 Capt.)

Posted on 09/11/2008 9:16:35 AM PDT by PurpleMan

There is a disturbing phenomenon creeping into the public debate about all things 9/11. Increasingly, Sept. 11 is compared to hurricanes, bridge collapses and other mechanical disasters or criminal acts that result in loss of life, with "body count" being the primary factor that keeps it in the top spot of "worst in the nation's history."

Misremembering is as dangerous as forgetting. If we must know one thing, it is that the Sept. 11 attacks were neither a natural disaster, nor the unfortunate result of human error. 9/11 wasn't the catastrophic equivalent of a 3,000-car pileup.

I haven't posted this in years. Its time I did!

The subtitle "Terror attacks were an act of war, not simply a tragedy to be mourned" hits it right on the nose!

Good point! The downplaying of 9/11 is not by accident. I suspect the MSM showed the Abu Garhib (sp?) photos fare more than they did the footage of 9/11.

I agree 100% with Miss Burlingame. This morning the coverage was all about the memorials and celebrations of life being held around the 9/11 tragedy.

My son was only 10 months old on 9/11. We were trying to explain to him what happened and I was sure that we would see footage from that day so he could see the horror of it. Nothing. I had to go online to show him.

Each 9/11 all TV news agencies should be required to show a montage of what happened that day. We must never forget!

It was the worst attack on American soil ever and must be remembered that way. And we must also remember that only through the steadfastness of Pres. Bush have we been safe here at home for the last seven years.

Whatever your politics, if you murder 3000 unarmed civilians in their own sovereign country and in an undeclared and unprovoked ‘WAR’ - you don’t walk away smelling like a rose. Liberals have somehow made heroes out of the genetic debris who committed this crime.

“”Each 9/11 all TV news agencies should be required to show a montage of what happened that day. We must never forget!””

Perhaps you don’t have cable but MSNBC runs the actual original programming from that day. I believe they do it each year. It does make us relive the events of that day and where we were when it took place. I lived on the West Coast at the time and turned the TV on while I was getting ready for work. What I saw first was the smoke and coverage from the Pentagon..that was hard enough to digest and then the WTC pictures came on. You are absolutely correct - don’t let anyone forget!

ALWAYS REMEMBER; NEVER FORGET

There was special mention of the Heroes of Flight 93 at our ceremony today. May they Rest In Peace and may our prayers comfort their loved ones, and that goes for all those who perished that day (except for the perpetrators of that cowardly act).

That explains part of it - I have cable but don't watch MSNBC. I'm a FOX kinda gal.

I lived in the SF Bay Area at the time of the attacks and was sitting in bed getting ready to feed my son. As I did every morning, I flipped on FOXNews and popped the bottle in the little guys mouth. I remember sitting there hugging him and just sobbing.

My husband heard me and came flying out of the shower. Once we realized what was happening I told him, "Get the flag outside - now". At some point my husband left for work. Then the towers fell. My husband made a U-Turn and came back home. He told me it was because he knew I was going to just completely lose it.

We must never forget - God BLESS America!
