Steve...great post.
Don't be. I couldn't cry for months afterward. I was simply much too angry for tears.
We were living in SoCal when my mother in law called.It was just before six in the morning, She told my wife that a plane made a sharp turn over the Brooklyn bridge in front of her building. My wife thought that she had lost her mind. She kept yelling "turn on the TV!" We did and saw WTC1 was already hit. at first we thought it was an accident, but then the second plane arrive, and turned sharply into Tower 2. we heard the noise of it over the phone. none of us will ever forget it or who did it!
I will second that!!
Many things good and bad fade from our memories thankfully.
However, 9-11 and the live pictures of those buildings falling are pictures I can still see when I reflect about that day. It seems as though it were yesterday. I will never forget that day.
About a year after 9-11 in New Orleans, I was riding an elevator with an elderly gentleman who was wearing a really nice NYFD cap. He happened to be looking at me just as I was looking at his cap. I'm thinking he may have lost someone on 9-11 and someone in the NYFD had given him the cap. His eyes started filling with tears. That's all it took for me to start crying too. When the elevator reached my floor, we embraced and I got off. I can't describe the emotions the were exchanged in those few, silent moments.
Damm you woman! you've got me crying at work.
No need to be sorry. We can mourn our dead but we all must go on until the enemy is defeated.
And Im not a cryer. ::small sigh::
You would have to be completely ignorant of any of the actual founders writings to make a statement that claimed that the US was not founded on Christianity. They (the founders) made it completely clear in their many writings their opinions of how vital Christianity was to our freedoms and our ability to hold them in the future.
One can only assume you have not dug deeper or more than likely, seeing you devotion to islam, like to propagandize picking and choosing in order to deceive.
Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I can hardly see the screen.
LOL. My dust bunnies like to dress in dog hair and spider webs. Ever so stylish!
Usually, but
There was a guy on the radio a few days back discussing our methods of persuasion. He told of one detainee who at the end of weeks of intense questioning abruptly told all.
He was later asked Why?
He said "When I realized that was the worst you were going to do to me, I recognized that I was on the wrong side"...
I rarely use Jefferson as a strong source. He was always writing "thoughts" not necessarily "truths". Madison is a better source.
Well they display the evil of these animals. This kind of stuff should be all over the TV, day and night. Need to throw in a bunch of 9/11 pics too. The media is betraying our, and their, country. Bunch of damn traitors!
"we heard the noise of it over the phone."
Oh my God!
Was your mother-in-law near the Towers?
We can agree or disagree, but it serves no purpose to make unfounded accusations.
For whatever my word is worth? I agree with everything you wrote. You have the right of it.
To this day I cry whenever I hear the verse of "America, The Beautiful" that goes "O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife. Who more than self the country loved And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine Till all success be nobleness And every gain divine! "
It always makes me think of the firefighters and the people on flight 93 who fought the terrorists and died keeping those monsters from killing even more Americans.
I'm crying again even now.
I know exactly how you felt. I know.
I meet NYFD firefighters almost every week. And the orphaned children, who ask where is Dad or Mom. That really gets me mad.
Too many sad memories.
Sorry to all for being off-topic.
