Well, I’m not going to read the whole piece, because I’m still trying to maintain my Brit paper blackout since I got a virus from one.

So, I can’t judge the article, but I appreciate the mention.

This is the aspect of the attack that is the most gruesome and frightening to me. I’ve been thinking about it for days and I think it’s why I too am trying to avoid the coverage.

However, I don’t think it is America that wants to forget, I think it is our media that wants us to forget, our media in their eternal roles as shills and propagandists for the left and all other America haters such as jihadis.

We do well to rely on God to choose who will be saved, and who will not.

This is what happens when ignorant people who ‘claim’ to be religious .. preach false truths!

Nowhere in the bible is it said that suicide is an unforgivable sin!

That is reserved for the sin of ‘Blasphemy’ only!

Not sure it is pointed out in the article here, but the first figherfighter killed at Ground Zero died when a victim jumped from 80+ floors above and landed on him.

It’s in the 9/11 Commission report. One very haunting sentence.

Heartbreaking.

I don't understand how anyone could just turn their back on family because they jumped. These poor people were going to die one way or another. Maybe some didn't think - they just reacted. Maybe some made a clear choice that they were not going to die on the terrorist's terms. No matter what the reason these people were just as much a victim as those who went down with the towers.

God Bless each and every one.

No one should "try to forget" untill the death cult has been eradicated from existence anywhere on the earth.

The Obama White House is behind a cynical, coldly calculated political effort to erase the meaning of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks from the American psyche and convert Sept. 11 into a day of leftist celebration and statist idolatry.

Our voices need to be heard not only at Town Hall sessions or Tea Party demonstrations but in the very halls of Congress. We have to speak out to stop the desecration of September 11th.



NEVER FORGET

"Every 'moderate' Muslim is a potential terrorist. The belief in Islam is like a tank of gasoline. It looks innocuous, until it meets the fire. For a 'moderate' Muslim to become a murderous jihadist, all it takes is a spark of faith.

It is time to put an end to the charade of “moderate Islam.” There is no such thing as moderate Muslim. Muslims are either jihadists or dormant jihadists – moderate, they are not."

NEVER FORGET



Watch this moving video. It is the most viewed of any of the 9/11 videos and is now in the Smithsonian.

Be sure to read (at the site) Anatomy Of The Attack and the moving essay,’That Day’ by Steve Golding, a New Yorker who lived through it.

We forgot.

I repeat, we forgot.

May God forgive us and restore our hearts and our nation.

To give us encouragement.

A tasteful remembrance, only shown once on TV to my knowledge.

Not all Americans are crass self-destructive vermin like the liberals.

It’s one of the darkest moments in our history no one wants to contemplate. But forgotten? No way in hell. We will never forget.

They, and all the rest who died that day, shall remain in my thoughts, and in my prayers, as long as I shall live. I pray for the day we nuke all them SOBs in Mecca. So they, nor any of their ilk, can ever repeat this again.

Get these slime out of our nation. No good can come from them being here. All they want is to rule this nation.

I never even thought that someone would be ashamed of someone that was forced to jump from those towers. I’m not ashamed of those people. I don’t want them forgotten. I’m of the opinion that it is dishonorable to the memory of someone to hide your head or forget how they died—no matter how horrific. These people didn’t do anything wrong. Their memories don’t have to be shamed. I don’t care if they fell, were forced to jump, or chose to jump—they should all be honored as human beings in an unfathomably desperate situation. I’ll never forget them.

About once a year, when I'm fed up with this nonsensical world, I watch Lonesome Dove. It will not be this weekend, but I gave thought yesterday after Obama’s malaise speech. I hope the media does not make a muck over this solemn memorial, day of remembrance, and day of reinvigorating our fight against evil.

The very thought of the jumpers makes me weep. What courage. I don’t want to forget them. I never will. Stupid, arrogant liberals like Bloomberg want them forgotten.

So angry after reading this...I posted a comment on the mail site, but they are ‘previewing’ comments so I doubt it will be posted. This is the most anti-christian piece of crap I have ever read in my life. I am a bible believing Christian, and the thought has never ever crossed my mind that these people ‘sinned’ when they jumped. They were murdered plain and simple. It was my understanding the pictures aren’t often published because they make Americans so angry. This is a horrid, horrid attempt to pass judgement on that which they wish would go away — Christians!!!

I never heard about the Merrill Lynch guys watching the people literally tumble out of the tower opposite. Beyond awful.
