Have You Forgotten? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6yLQRF-cEU

As we commemorate the loss of life as a result of terrorist attacks on 9/11 in NYC, at the Pentagon in Washington, DC and over the fields of Shanksville, Pennsylvania, here are two video versions of the 2003 Darryl Worley country song "Have You Forgotten". The first one was posted on Youtube by Worley himself, I believe. It may have been edited a bit since it was first released in 2003. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6yLQRF-cEU The second version is much more graphic in showing victims of the World Trade Center terrorist attacks. All of the footage from 9/11 is real except for a...

I put this site up shortly after 9/11/01. It remains online thanks to a friend who is still hosting it. Please check it out. It is ad-free and non-profit, and has been for almost 7 years. Thanks.

Since we are on the anniversary of 9/11, I think it is important to stop and remember your 9/11 experience. For me it started like a normal day. I was driving my kids to school at 7:10am that day. The sun was shining in that brilliant blue sky with such light! On the way to school, my daughter was asking if I was going to the school meeting that evening to discuss the 8th grade trip to Washington that would be coming up that following spring. I told her no, I thought it was not wise to go to Washington...

NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2005 – Servicemembers, veterans and supporters of the people past and present who have worn the nation's uniform packed the historic Roseland Ballroom here Nov. 11 for a night of music and a celebration of freedom. The American Freedom Foundation's 2nd annual American Freedom Festival brought together a variety of entertainers who donated their talents to raise money and awareness for veterans organizations. The foundation places special emphasis on the welfare and education issues facing those wounded in action, amputees, and the families and children of servicemembers killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. Retired Sgt. Maj. Of...

NORMAN, Okla. -- Hundreds of students are now under investigation after fake IDs are found on the University of Oklahoma campus. Police said the latest rash of fake IDs have come from Dallas and that an OU fraternity member is selling the bogus Texas driver's licenses for about $100 each. Experts say these IDs are so close to the real thing that they're virtually undetectable. "The ones coming out of Texas are really good, and they're getting better," said O'Connell's bartender Todd Emerson. Emerson has confiscated dozens of fake IDs at the Norman pub. "Most of these IDs are pretty...

THIS film filled me with hate — hate for the terrorists who killed thousands of innocent people on 9/11 and hate for all the murderous Muslim fanatics still out there who even now continue to hold the world hostage. It's a feeling akin to the one many of us had in the days and weeks following the attacks — unrequited anger coupled with a robust appetite for revenge. Four years after the attacks, it's not a bad thing at all for a TV movie to rekindle those emotions since we're still fighting the war that started that day. "The Flight...

AMONG those call for the closing of our Guantanamo Bay facilities where terrorist suspects are confined is U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy. Critics contend "Gitmo" embarrasses the U.S. in world opinion and makes some Muslims hate us. Teddy Kennedy, of course, is the noted crime and war scholar, and Bay State swimmer, who has never damaged America's reputation abroad. The United States is at war. Approximately 520 men from 40 countries are suspected, with good reason, of being enemy combatants in that war. By confining them, we are keeping them off the battlefield. Indeed, the U.S. Attorney General has estimated that...

June 9, 2005 -- A World Trade Center Memorial Foundation director is raising a storm over the International Freedom Center planned for Ground Zero, charging that it will slight memories of 9/11 by staging exhibits that have nothing to do with the tragedy. Debra Burlingame also says that some people involved in the Freedom Center have a blame-America political bent and have undermined the war on terror. She has raised the specter of the Freedom Center being used to teach about Native American genocide, lynchings in the South, the Holocaust, Chinese dissidents and abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq....

Charles Krauthammer: Have we lost sight of 9-11 and the global war on terror? 12:06 AM CDT on Wednesday, June 8, 2005 The self-flagellation over abuse reports at Guantánamo has turned into a full-scale panic. There are calls for the United States, with all this worldwide publicity, to simply shut the place down. A terrible idea. Shutting down Guantánamo will solve nothing. We will capture more terrorists and we will have to interrogate them – if not at Guantánamo, then somewhere else. Then reports from that somewhere else will mirror the charges coming out of Guantánamo. The self-flagellation has gone...

On Wednesday we had the story of an ugly advertisement for Spain’s El Pais newspaper, using images of 9/11.Today, Southern Watch has a translation of El Pais’s very sincere-sounding apology. EL PAIS apologizes for the use of the images of the terrorist attack against the Twin Towers in New York, which happend on September 11, 2001, for a campaign to aquire subscribers to ELPAIS.es. This regrettable campaign, carried out through emails, supported by two photos of New York, one with the Twin Towers and another one without, under the heading “You can do a lot in one day, imagine what...

Drove by the Los Angeles Federal building on Wilshire today. I was expecting to see some people solemnly giving passing vehicles a reminder of the loss of 3000+ people at the hands of Islamic extremist on 9/11. Instead there was a dozen or so idiots with signs exclaiming that the "CIA engineered 9/11", "Bush Knew about 9/11", and so on the corner. I was pretty darn angry so I shouted a few choice words to express my disagreement with their message. Unbelievable that these idiots would stoop to this sort of thing on today of all days. I would have...

Now that the memorial services are complete and Nick Berg has been buried, we as a nation can get back to business as usual, which is a tragedy in itself. As I drive down the street, I see cars that display faded "Never Forget 9-11" bumper stickers. It is horrible to say but I believe that we as a nation have forgotten. One will no longer see the name "Nick Berg" as a headline on a newspaper as the top story on evening news. Instead the liberal mainstream media will move on, or should I say go back to other...

Do you remember the fear in the female newscaster's voice the morning of 9-11? I shall never forget it. Today, the fear is gone. All that remains is her contempt for America – her and a thousand of her newsroom coworkers who labor ceaselessly to end the war on terror, both by what they report ... and what they don't. Nothing remains in her voice and reporting but contempt for America, magnified by thousands of reporters, editors and newscasters from across the nation. These titans of objectivity have come to us courtesy of our nation's journalism schools, many at publicly-funded...

Have You Forgotten Darryl Worley Written by Darryl Worley and Wynn Varble -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hear people saying we don't need this war I say there's some things worth fighting for What about our freedom and this piece of ground? We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in Before you start preaching Let me ask you this my friend CHORUS 1 Have you forgotten how it felt that day To see your homeland under fire And her people blown away? Have you forgotten when those towers fell? We had neighbors...

The second anniversary of 9/11 will be marked appropriately with solemn ceremonies of remembrance. In a culture that worships the momentary, our fidelity to our fallen is heartening. What is less encouraging is that the remembrance of 9/11 seems overwhelmingly composed of mourning and loss, and very little comprised of national purpose, let alone anger. A new documentary on A & E, Seven Days in September, is a good example. It is in many ways a gripping film, documenting the effects on the city during the first week of the attacks, and told (and often shot) through the eyes of...

Have You Forgotten? (Darryl Worley, Wynn Varble) The USO tour in Afghanistan over the [2002] Christmas holidays gave me an opportunity to spend some quality time with the people who defend the freedoms of this country, and I was just overwhelmed by that experience. I wanted to find some way to honor these men and women. When I sat down to write with Wynn after I got home, I was telling him about my experiences. I felt like some people tended to forget the terror and the horror we felt on 9-11. The first thing I thought of was, “Those...

Have We Forgotten? by Alvy Have we already forgotten the lessons we were supposed to learn from 9-11? It hasn't even been two years since that horrible, dark day in American history. Tuning in to the nightly news and talk shows, one could surmise that many Americans have slipped back into a state of complacency; similar to the one we were in prior to that fateful September day. President Bush warned us that this would be a long struggle. My fear is that we are being lulled into thinking such an attack could not happen again on American soil. Blame...
