Free Republic's 9-11 100 Hours of Remembrance

Free Republic | 9/6/03 | Free Republic

[jriemer]

It’s 4:46am September 6.

Its a little more than 100 hours from the Second Anniversary of Start the World Trade Center Attack and the subsequent Strike on the Pentagon and the Crash in Pennsylvania. 100 hours seems to be a long time; however, it is barely enough to reflect and remember all those who perished on the ground and in the air. Each one of the victims has a story, a life, that if retold would take more than 100 hours to appreciate the richness of their stay on this earth before it was snatched away.

Since 911, there has been more sacrifice. More have taken from this earth – this time not in tragedy but in a quest for justice and the expansion of freedom. They were not helpless victims but Heroes of liberation for the Afghanis and Iraqis and protectors of our domestic security.

We would hope that you would take the time and reflect on the lives of those who died on 9-11 and those who have sacrificed their all since that day in these next 100 hours. Please contribute a post of reflection, a prayer, a memorial, a picture or even just a ping to your friends to let them know that 9-11 has not been ignored this year.

Never forget…

I worked for a big Houston mutual fund company at the time, and Cantor Fitzgerald was our largest institutional client. When we realized that Monday afternoon the 10th was the last time we'd talked to all of them, it was crushing.

A liberal colleague said to me, "This sentimentality is waaaay overdone. I'm going to go to a movie that day."

So much for touchey-feeley leftists........callous bastards.

Never Forget.

I will start resizing my photos smaller to save time. Sorry.

Between now and Thursday, I will have read every name on this list.
There is something real and important in remembering each and every one of these Americans as the initial victims of a long war.

They must be remembered. They will by me.

I'll never forget!

[Pippin]

Niether will I, Tonkin!

This is so well done that I am speechless (my husband would say that's an accomplishment)!

If you wouldn't mind, jriemer, I have something that I would like to add on this thread that is sort of a repeat of post #13. For months and hundreds (maybe more) of hours, I spent my spare time working on a cross stitch of this very picture. I took off some time from it after our second child was born on 9/5/02 (1st birthday yesterday--yea), but I finished in 3 weeks ago today. On 9/11, I would like to post a picture of my labor of love, if that is okay with you. It is not framed (I am going to have to spend some money on getting it custom framed), but I would love to share it with you all nevertheless. It is composed of 100 different colors (no wonder I needed new glasses this year). Let me know via FR mail if it is ok. Thank you!
