I'm not any kind of sicko or death monger, but I never want to forget how I felt that day. This will help. It may also help me to one day let the anger go.

I feel the same as you. I don't want anyone to ever forget.

A year ago I put together my own website where people can find videos, DVD's, books, art and posters about that fateful day.

Check it out, if you'd like: WWW.SEPTEMBER-11-VIDEOS.COM

I know you're not such, FRiend. I keep seeing Bloody Tuesday replayed, too.

But release the anger? Only when I pull back a charging handle. I've been through mourning for a long time. Now I'm serving. Again.

I couldn't watch those videos even on that day, but my anger and, dare I say it, my hatred, hasn't become any less. Recent events in Iraq have shown quite clearly that the thirst for blood of the Muslims, even of their own, hasn't become any less either.

We can never forget that day. We will never stop thinking about it, I think, because one's mind can never get to a point of full comprehension of what happened. Even to this moment it is still hard to believe the Trade Center Towers actually collapsed. Someone posted this link on another thread I was on today, and I'm passing it on to you. It is immensely powerful and immensely sad and I think it captures the exact emotions of that day and the few days after with an exactitude that only true inspiration can achieve. I cried when I watched it then, and I cried when I watched it today. Evidently it is available on a few places on the web, but I'm posting this link, because if it doesn't work it is easy to go to gunstuff.com and find it on the homepage right near the top, that wasn't true of another place it is posted.

I was at work.
I heard about the first crash and thought it was an accident.
I called my wife at home and told her to turn the TV on and see what was happening.
By noon, my legs were shaking.
I will never forget that day.
My mother is 75 years old.
When I spoke to her on September 12th, the first thing she said to me was that if the US didn't go after those two "sons of bitches", then our baby-boomer generation had absolutely no backbone.
I asked her who the two S.O.B.'s were and she told me Hussein and Bin Laden.
Right on, mom!!

Like you I put together a bunch of pics and images...I'm 90% done organizing them, but came across a 'puter problem related to burning them onto a CD....

I really should make it my goal to finish that project by 9/11 this year.

I will NEVER forget September 11, 2001. Shame on those who purposely forget or use 9/11 to deride the USA. It is mind-boggling how many people are so bass akwards on this issue. My husband's sister and family think the U.S. is to blame for 9/11 "because we've been so bad to the rest of the world." I just want to throttle them - but geez - I'd be as evil as they think I am. Here's a link that's interesting, or used to be. They've sanitized it as the ABC networks have done. Still kind of touching.http://www.cantcryhardenough.com/

If anyone would have told me that less than two years from that day we would have taken Afghanistan, destroyed 2/3 of Al-Qaeda, seized Iraq, withdrawn from Saudi Arabia, virtually left the United Nations and raised 60,000 Iraqi soldiers under American command I would have called him crazy. And had he further said that American troops would be looking for Islamic terrorists who had bombed one of the holiest Muslim sites I would have called the guys in the white coats.

There is still a long road to travel before the victims of September 11 rest in peace. But they would be amazed by what we've done. Let's amaze them still.

You might enjoy these tribute websites:

http://www.babes4bush.com (click on "Heroes Live Forever" - this website done by a fellow Freeper with the screen name of rintense)

http://www.caldavid.com/911/ (high and low bandwidth versions available)

Both of these tribute sites load much faster with a broadband connection - 56k may be painfully slow.

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

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.
