Remembering 911

The Second Anniversary of the 911 attacks is approaching. It’s been 2 years and I’m just as angry today as I was when it happened. I’ve been hitting memorial sites that I can find to watch videos of that horrible day.

I live in the Northern Virginia area. I’m asking my fellow FReepers to ping me with information on memorial services and ceremonies and I could attend. Posts or FRmail is fine.

Also, I’m going to put together my own memorial of pictures and information. Info as to where I could find more would also be appreciated.

Thank you.

My thoughts exactly. You are not alone in your feelings. Thank God for Free Republic. I joined early this spring.. What a goldmine, huh? Our media does us a grave disservice by not replaying the fall of the Twin Towers. Americans, the ignorant, leftist bunch anyway, need to be reminded that WE were attacked. War was declared on the US. Sad how they don't get IT isn't it? I love it here at FR.

"Oh, God! How I'm proud that my country helped you repay those bastards!"

The Poles are great! We are grateful for your help. You folks are really coming into your own, finally. You will be the ones to save Europe I think.

GO POLAND!

Every day in which bombs don't fall on Saudi Arabia betrays the victims of 9-11.

Thanks for looking. As we say down South

"Hell, No! I ain't forgettin'..."

You are no more a "sicko" or "deathmonger" than someone who honors Dec 7, 1941, as a day when brave Americans died at the hands of less than honorable people.

Don't let the lefties make you feel you have to explain yourself.

I will never forget how I felt on that day. I watched from the west coast as Americans on the east coast died, and I swore I would never forget.

And I won't. Ever.

Living less than 3 miles from the Pentagon at the time, and knowing at least two people who lost personal friends at WTC, it's not something I'm likely to forget in this lifetime.

I saw the initial smoke rising from the Pentagon crash, and the plane that caused it flew within a couple hundred yards of my (former) house. I directly experienced the exploding Pentagon LPG tank (about 20 minutes after the crash), and thought it was a truck bomb. Got caught in the gridlock of evacuating federal workers, took me 2 hours to go five miles.

On September 12, I bought a handgun and signed-up for CCW training.

About a year later we sold the house and moved a bit further out in the 'burbs.

I've spent a lot of time trying to understand how they planned that Pentagon attack, and come to some reasonable conclusions (e.g., that they used Columbia Road as their "flight path" and definitely used GPS to time the proper descent at 500 MPH).

But the bottom line is stark, malevolent, Satanic evil. I have little doubt that the wretched Islamists have more agents and provocateurs in the Muslim area of Bailey's Crossroads, the Skyline apartment complex (favored by the Muslim "community"), and the Dar al-Hijra mosque less than a mile up the road (from which Hanji Hanjour made his fake ID connection).

There remains an insidious evil in that specific part of Northern Virginia. It's a very creepy place.

I'm taking off work 9/11 and 9/12. If anyone knows of any events honoring the victims of that horrible day, please FRmail me. I'm in the Washington DC area.

Thanks.
