Upon request, I have collected links to many of the earliest threads from September 11, 2001 below. I reviewed threads from the very first FR report (http://www.freeRepublic.com/focus/fr/520255/posts)through thread number 520326. Feel free to add other significant threads, including photo archives. Bumping this thread periodically instead of the original threads will also avoid scaring people with the headlines.
Bookmark this thread, and bump it from time to time when the nation and the press seems to forget why we need resolve in the face of evil. Forgive some of the early misinformation and broken photo links, and recall the horror and fury.

US TERROR BOMBING PHOTOS - (slow-many images)
Thank you for your work.
Getting quiet here. never forget.
Thank You!
Have not forgotten - OR forgiven.
Today is the “quietest” 9/11 I’ve ever seen on FR.
That’s a bit disconcerting. Never mind those who insist it was the US that did it, not Arab Moslems. Ridiculous.
I know- it was very quiet for FR.
I worked all day and then watched some of the videos in YouTube. It’s like it happened last year...or 100 years ago.
I knew many people jumped but yesterday I learned it was 200 plus. 200 souls. I believe they fell into the arms of God.
We all said nothing would be the same after that day. Little did we know...
The first time I saw a doc that displayed openLy the tower jumpers (I’m sure some of them just fell), was only within the last 10. Like they were afraid to reveal the full reality. The giant “THWACK” when each person hit was extremely disconcerting.
They still haven’t had the nerve to show the fallen bodies.
Today is 9/11/23 - Patriot’s Day. Never forget. On this day, in 2001, our world changed forever. For me, I came to this realization watching television news, as the second plane hit the tower.
My husband and I had taken time off from work that week to finish up some construction of our new house. I was the first one up, and listened to the news as I cared for our two year old daughter. Hearing about the plane hitting the first tower, I prayed for the victims, but assumed that it was some kind of accident. I began watching the screen, and saw the second tower hit. I woke my family, and said, “This means war.”
Like most Americans who were adults on 9/11, all these years later, I still see the sights and hear the sounds recorded as if it happened yesterday. Free Republic recorded real time personal reports, as a remembrance: https://freerepublic.com/focus/fr/620413/posts
Please continue to pray for America. What do you remember about 9/11?
