Hello All
Sorry I missed out on the thread.
The weekend was busy and it flew by
Then I ran out of time yesterday to get to pot anything.
I watched a number of specials on 9/11
Many that had not been seen before
One of the best was the documentary by the two French guys (Jules and Gedeon)
who happen to capture rare footage of the planes hitting the towers.
all because they had decided to follow a probby as he went about his training in the FDNY.
Watching, and listening to the stories of those involved, can still bring tears to my eyes.
Especially to think of the thousands who could never be buried
because there was no body to identify.
I can understand why the families never wanted anything to be built on that site.
It truly is the grave of over a thousand souls.
Last, I want to THANK all of our allies and the other countries
who stood with us and cried with us when we were temporarily knocked to our knees.
I was reminded of this during some of those programs.
They mourned with us.

Notice that Wookie is showing up with her "husband" after he put back his wedding band. After the concert, 0b0z0 took it off and went back to his "real husband" in the WH gym.
The documentary from CBS——”9-11” that you mentioned was the one I always watch too. I recorded it back then and watch again every year. I’ll probably do it today. I had an overload of emotion yesterday. :(
Hey! Where was my ping! LOL!
Beautiful!
That was WONDERFUL, STARWISE!
Despicable creatures.
I’ve seen white trash, and those two are the symbol of black trash.
Thank you for the remembrance of what we once had and have lost.
God BLESS you, President Bush! I thank God daily that His humble servant was at the helm during those dark days.
May we have a person of his character, conviction and courage some day again........and SOON!!
Oh my the things this women wears! And you know she has to like these clothes?!!
God bless you Kathy!
Thanks, Kathy. Thought you might like to read this old email from Karl. He was a senior in high schol at the time, and joined the USMC in June of the following year.

Dad-
I’m typing this at school during lunch. I went through the webmail backdoor, because the school isp blocks most communication sites. If you don’t already know, a bunch of planes, passengers and all, were hijacked and made kamikaze runs. First one plowed into the World Trade Center, causing one tower to collapse. A second plane, looked like a 737 or something slammed into the second one shortly thereafter. A little after 1030 we got to a classroom that was picking up the news, and right after that we saw the second tower go. Titus pulled the cable, doesn’t want the school panicking, but word is moving faaaaast. Also, a commuter plane hit teh pentagon, all key government officials are being evacuated, bush is on his way home. Unconfirmed reports state that a car bomb went off outside the state department. FAA has grounded everything and fighters can be seen scrambling. A few hijacked planes are still missing, another jet crashed earlier in the day a short distance from the airport, but no one is sure whether or not its related. 1 palestinian group has so far claimed responsibility, but they all try to be proud and stupid. The real perpetrators would know that once the US finds out, they would be incinerated into the stone age. This is an amazingly well coordinated attack, focusing on the major symbols of the free world, all within 1 hour. All the history teachers have studied and have known that there is gap in recent years that should be filled by a war, not just a little gulf war. Even I knew it was coming, but I never expected such a violent and unprecedented attack. This could easily erupt into a holy war if there are enough zealots in palestine and elsewhere, and could cause a huge conflict that could spell the end of the muslim faith. I hope it doesn’t get that global, but you can be sure the world will not let this one go unpunished. This is without a doubt the biggest, most vicious act of terrorism (if not an act of war) in modern times, if not the history of mankind. Looks like Bush and the military will be getting those funds to finish research on all those new weapons and fighters scheduled for the next 8 years. Well, I’ll see what’s going on when i get home, most of the news sites here are normally blocked anyway by the school isp. Just let you know that we heard it too. Now that I’m done, there could have been another attempt at something, although national security forces probably would’ve intercepted. Nonetheless, the nation has been really jarred, and while I fear what’s going to come, most of it is channeled into anger in knowing that something will happen. Take care, and buy more ammo.

President Bush has his faults
~~~~~~
As everyone on earth does ...
Thank God for him.
Ditto .. welcome .. ;)
;)
Amen.
Quite stunning, how he aged through
that huge stress.
Well, by the time I got to work, FR was down. So hope you had a good Monday. ((HUGS))
We have a holiday in the payweek, and they still haven’t fixed it, so people have to deliberately input their time incorrectly for the money to come out correctly. It is ugly and makes a huge amount of corrections necessary. At least one is going to just let it go thru as is....I would love to do the same, and if I run out of time it will happen anyway.
STARWISE, thank you for these wonderful, wonderful pictures. Oh, how I miss President Bush. I listened to his talk in Shanksville on Saturday. He reinforced the reasons why I have always appreciated and respected this good man. He is a true statesman and a patriot. And, he genuinely cares about individual people. I am so proud that he was our President. May God always bless and protect him and lovely Laura.
