Free Republic's 9-11 100 Hours of Remembrance

Free Republic | 9/6/03 | Free Republic

[jriemer]

It’s 4:46am September 6.

Its a little more than 100 hours from the Second Anniversary of Start the World Trade Center Attack and the subsequent Strike on the Pentagon and the Crash in Pennsylvania. 100 hours seems to be a long time; however, it is barely enough to reflect and remember all those who perished on the ground and in the air. Each one of the victims has a story, a life, that if retold would take more than 100 hours to appreciate the richness of their stay on this earth before it was snatched away.

Since 911, there has been more sacrifice. More have taken from this earth – this time not in tragedy but in a quest for justice and the expansion of freedom. They were not helpless victims but Heroes of liberation for the Afghanis and Iraqis and protectors of our domestic security.

We would hope that you would take the time and reflect on the lives of those who died on 9-11 and those who have sacrificed their all since that day in these next 100 hours. Please contribute a post of reflection, a prayer, a memorial, a picture or even just a ping to your friends to let them know that 9-11 has not been ignored this year.

Never forget…

The Star Spangled Banner
(Click hyperlink)
 

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us as a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Thank you jriemer for taking the time and effort to list each and everyone of the people who were sacrificed that horrific day.

What stands out in my memory the most though, is my 83 (at that time) year old aunt glued to the tv saying over and over. "This can't be happening in my country." The shock and disbelief on both her and my uncle's face. He had fought in the South Pacific in WWII...

Thank you, jriemer, for this thread. And thanks for the ping, Meek and Chick.

I will never, ever, ever forget, as long as I may live. And I hope I live long enough to see true justice meted out to any and all who had the tiniest part in this. And including all those who celebrated this evil act.

Next year we should move to a more appropriate 911 hours of Remembrance. Plenty of time for angst, hand wringing, and feeling sorry for ourselves.

Thank you for the links to the previous articles Backhoe. Much appreciated.

We need to make the congress critters remember because the average person will never forget, but it seems that they have...
