I cried just as hard this time as I did the first time I watched this video. The hardest part of it for me was seeing those firemen, knowing that they would be DEAD shortly after those pictures were taken. They truly epitomize the saying: "Greater love hath no man than he who lays down his life for another."
I am one of the few FReepers, probably, who was alive during the Attack on Pearl Harbor. I was so scared. But I was only 3 years old. This time with the attack on the WTC, I am not afraid - I am filled with grief.
I tend to think that's how America felt when she lost so many sons at Pearl Harbor. Then their grief turned to rage, and the murderers lived to regret it. I pray that our country is as strong now as it was then!
Thank you, Phyto Chems for this thread. America has almost forgotten The Alamo, The Maine, and even Pearl Harbor. I hope she NEVER forgets THIS day.

I hope they kill A THOUSAND of those terrorists for every one of our firemen!
Happy New YearEveryone.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET
God Bless America.
anyway...I live fairly close to a good sized airport. The planes can be seen in their 'Holding Patterns' over head. I don't that I'll ever see (or hear) another one of those 'wide bodies go overhead and not 'remember' the site of those two planes hitting the Twin Towers - -- - or the carnage of the impact site at the Pentagon.

It is that haunting site with the Enya song in the background. I had it bookmarked with a different address .... and the one I had is no longer working. I have been looking and looking for it.

"George W. is steady, he is strong and he is determined. As a mother, I would give anything not to see him have to deal with this terrible time in our history. As an American, I could not be happier to have this able and wise man in the White House."
