I just love your animated collage. Thank you, too for the use of your beautiful Lady Liberty and Uncle Sam graphic.

The feelings and graphics that people are sharing today are wonderful. We must always remember the people who sacrificed all on 9-11-01 as well as those who have sacrificed their all ever since to keep us out of harm's way.

Thank you for sharing the image of your ticket stub. I know that is a priceless memento for you and a reminder always of what was.

Welcome aboard.

Hard to believe it's been two years - it all comes back like it was just the other day. We will never, ever forget 9/11. Thank you all for these very poignant posts of remembrances, graphics, tributes. It means a lot to us that you're sharing them here with us.

Hey dansy. I sure do. That picture was actually taken on my first visit to the WTC with my wife. We were only just school friends at the time and she was from out of state so I wanted to show her around NYC and what better place to start then downtown. Looking up at the WTC like that when I was a kid (and all the way up to thatday) was always a favorite thing of mine to do. Looking straight down was another favorite thing to do. So I snapped that picture as I was looking up. It was the last I would ever see the WTC in person. My wife took her brother back in 2001 before we got married but I don't think she took any pictures.

I will miss that view but the picture and my memories will always help me to remember.

Oh dansy. What a beautiful tribute today. The whole day was so surreal. I watched a little of the memorial this morning as children, relatives of the victims, repeated the name of each of the victims and just cried. Thank you for bringing us this beautiful thread today.

Back later.

What a touching post today in remembrance of the horrible attack on America, the lives lost and the families torn apart two years ago. Dansangel, the words you've written and the time you've taken to put together this memorial post is appreciated.

I have read all the comments on this thread and have been moved to tears. Thank you all for the poems, the links, the graphics, but most of all, thank you for sharing yourselves through your heartfelt remembrances.

I am at a loss for words. I can't add anything that hasn't already been so eloquently said, so I will just leave this graphic.

I will never forget.
I will continue to support our President.
I will continue to support our military.

[The Thin Man]

Dansy, you did a wonderful job with "Where Were You?" Those words sure bring back memories from that awful day.

I find this photo posted on America Remembers September 11, 2001 thread incredibly moving.

Thanks, John - I was just looking back at what we did last year - it was the first anniversary, and we posted your essay on Monday, the 9th, and ran it all week.

Last Year's FR Finest 9/11 Tribute by JohnHuang2

Mornin', everybody ! Happy Thursay ! ...

09-01-2001: NEVER FORGET !!

[MeekOneGOP]

Contrast that to ...

"A presidential executive order issued during the Clinton
administration hamstrung the FBI so badly that bureau
lawyers decided it would be illegal to infiltrate Osama bin
Laden's terrorist training camps in Afghanistan, a senior
FBI official during the Clinton administration said Saturday."
(June 1, 2002)

"I don't believe 9-11 happened because of an intelligence breach," Quayle told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."

"I think it was really a policy breach. It was the inaction of the previous administration, by and large, that al Qaeda -- and bin Laden in particular -- thought that they could hit the United States, and there would be a retaliation maybe of a cruise missile but nothing more than that," he explained.

The comments make the former vice president, who served under President Bush's father from 1989 to 1993, the highest ranking former U.S. official to suggest that the Clinton administration should get the lion's share of the blame for not preventing the 9-11 attacks.

Thanks for the link, my friend ((((((((Billie)))))))))

Hi, Lori!

Your graphic is more elegant and says more than mere wordt, as beautiful as they are, can ever tell.

[JohnHuang2]

Dansangel, the words you've written and the time you've taken to put together this memorial post is appreciated.

Amen.
