Free Republic's 9-11 100 Hours of Remembrance
Free Republic | 9/6/03 | Free Republic

Posted on 09/06/2003 1:45:49 AM PDT by 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…

I visited NYC as part of my HS senior trip in 1995. My future husband took the same trip his senior year in 1996. We both have pictures of the Towers and we both were able to see the view of the city from the observation deck. What's the hardest for me is that I have a mental image of that view of the city, but it's being replaced by the images of that awful day. It hurts to even think about the Towers now. But I shall NEVER FORGET.

My husband's currently on underway for overseas certification, prepping for 6 month deployment that starts in a few weeks. Tomorrow he'll be sitting for his E5 advancement exam. Here's hoping third time's a charm...

When I was in college I used to work at events with Seattle Police Chief Fitzsimons. This was his brother, who could be seen in the 9/11 movie aired on CBS.

>>Richard P. Fitzsimons, 57, Lynbrook, N.Y., USA
fire safety director, OCS Security
Confirmed dead, World Trade Center, at/in building

I also later learned that a girl I met from NYC was in 2WTC that morning. She was scheduled to attend a meeting on the top floor that morning, but took some phone calls from overseas. Her cubicle mate went up the elevator and was lost in the attack, but the girl I knew made it out quickly when the first alarms went off.

When the attacks first happened, I received a call from a former girlfriend in SF, who kind of hinted that the US somehow deserved it....I was kind of mortified to know someone who would even think that way...

I will never forget.

"May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen"

I will never, ever forget. I pray that our heirs to freedom never forget either. Please dear, God, help them to remember!

My wifes 20 year old cousin was on AA Flight 11 (Candace Williams - and as a side note, they're all direct descendants of Roger Williams).

I remember when she was a kid - nice girl, was going out to do some work with Special Olympics.

Thanks for the excellent post! We need to remind everyone how destructive this attack was, that real people were effected and that we have not forgotten that terrorism is a real threat that needs to be rooted out before they attack again.

Thanks also to all who are linking to pictures from the LibertyNews.org WTC attack archive. For those who would like to view the archive directly, the link is http://www.libertynews.org/wtc. It is a mirror of an archive created by Eric N. Krout on 9/11/2001 and consists of images and video clips from various sources.
