I tried watching the reading of the names of the victims but I couldn't handle it. :(

Powerful day today. Congrats to my team of fellow firefighters for climbing 110 floors with the names of those who didn't make it ten years ago. Sadly, I'm made up of more matter than my mind could get over, but my wife Debby, along with Scott, Alan, Scott, James, Keith, Devon, Holly, Brandon, Mitch, and Colton made it happen.
Nice Pred indeed! To you and your team, the American WAY! TOGETHER,
I'm with ya on that. We watched the United flight 93 movie again and it was heart wrenching. I pray this country NEVER forgets what happened and who did this to us.High Lord Gomer said:

Reflecting back on that day, it is good to see that we have never forgotten those awful events.
Funny thing..... I had that day off of work. I filled my gas tanks on my truck as I left town. When I got back to town later that afternoon, that same gas station had bumped the price to about where it was yesterday (9/14/2011) afternoon. $3.70 a Gallon !!!! Price Gouge that day maybe ????? You bet !!!!!!!!

Thanks for brining it back. If you have not read all of the posts, you should go back to page 1 and do so, if you have read them, do it again. Raw emotion, confusion, anger, sadness, fear..... America was attacked, it happened, and it could happen again.

America has been attacked again on soverign soil in Libya and Egypt on 9-11. As I observed the moment of silence, I could see and hear the atrocities of that day in my mind. The raw emotions came to my heart, my gut, and my eyes with all of the pain and horror that accompanied the memories. Never Forget! Americans must again unite against the evil that seeks to destroy our Liberty!

Wow, I hadn't even heard about those. But I also haven't seen any TV this week.
Ironic how they can say and deface anything they want but start attacking if someone make a satirical video.

This is definitely a day to never forget. I still remember exactly what I was doing when the first plane hit. It was kind of a blur after that as it all sunk in. God Bless America!

Thank you to the men and women of our service that allow us to still be here today!

on that day, my son was a 6 year old a couple weeks into first grade, and my daughter was a 3 year old at home with mom.High Lord Gomer said:

I may not know a single person that died that day, a family that has mourned the loss of loved ones, nor will I forget one of them. My family grew very large that day, a family from all walks of life, united in our resolve. The days do not get easier nor safer but I do NOT fear, America has a strength that may be hidden at times but is NEVER gone. RIP to the victims of September 11, 2001, remain forever vigilant and strong survivors.
