IN MEMORIAM, SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

One of my websites ^ | September 11, 2001 | Steve Golding and Cacique

[Cacique]

On September 11, 2001 our nation was attacked. Like many New Yorkers Steve Golding lost a friend in the World Trace Center attack. He created a flash video that became one of the most watched videos on the internet. I was webmaster for WABC radio host Steve Malzberg at the time and contacted Steve Golding to see if we could run the video from our website. It was the most requested video that we had on the site.

It is appropriate that on this anniversary I link to it again so that we can be reminded what this anniversary is all about. Why our friends, neighbors and relatives who serve in our armed forces are sacrificing their lives. It must also serve as a reminder why we must mnake the right choice on November 2, 2004. Too many of my fellow New Yorkers have forgotten or at least they have become complacent, thinking we can negotiate with evil. We cannot.

I am linking to the video so that we can remind ourselves of that day and also so that some newbies to this site who have never seen it may have the opportunity to view it.

You can view the video by clicking on the link below, a new window will pop up. It is a large file (7 megs) so please be patient.

Steve Golding's Video

 

 

Steve Golding is also a member of Rolling Thunder and the webmaster of http://www.powforum.org

 

After the attack and during the recovery a memorial light was put in place. Two powerful spotlights facing the sky where the towers stood. The following shots were taken by me from pier 58 in Brooklyn on April 13, 2002 one day before the lights were switched off. It was also my 50th birthday.

Thank you for the ping. I will return to this thread later to see how it's going. Tomorrow is a sad anniversary for me. When Kerry mentions over 1000 needless deaths, I wonder why he can't remember the over 3,000 needless deaths.

In loving memory of our September 11th patriots, and those who have sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, so that hopefully, never again.

There isn't one of our fallen men and women on the battlefield, that I don't regret. So it is with war. You fight and win, or you surrender and learn to speak French.

What I posted on that day...

No matter what our politics are, we are all Americans, first and foremost.

I am sick and tired...

I am sick and tired of our country playing nice.

I am sick and tired of our country being played as fools.

I am sick and tired of our country being used as negotiators in peace treaties that ultimately make us targets.

I am sick and tired of the perception the our country is weak.

I am sick for all the families and loved ones who have suffered today.

I am sick for all the Americans who have watched this frame by frame, moment-by-moment on television.

Yet, I know this country will unite behind this attack.

I know that all Americans will not tolerate this kind of treachery.

I know that all Americans will want justice.

And I know that President Bush will do the right thing.

Like all other FReepers, today, my emotions have run the gamut from sadness, to anger, to such inspired patriotism, that I only hope the thugs and cowards that did this will realize that we may be down, but we ain't out.

And we are coming to get you.

Because of SEP11 I am now a Paid Call Fire Fighter. I have gone through a fire academy and currently going through EMT training. I have an MBA, I don't have to do this... I want to do something of a higher order... and I haven't had so much pleasure or pride in what I do in all my life...

[Cincinna]

Thank you for posting this beautiful tribute.
It is important that these sounds and images be seen by all Americans, again and again. Indeed, the whole world should view it.

The great beams of light were on again tonight, illuminating a clear September night sky. People were standing around and staring, their eyes wide, their mouths open, standing in awe and remembering. Neighborhood people and people from all over the world had come to pay silent tribute.

Tomorrow morning will be another splendid September morning, just like September 11,2001. The world has been changed forever.

For those who delude themselves into believing we still live in a September 10th world, I ask them to watch your video and give it some thought.

[Chieftain]

Good job, Mud.
