Remembering September 11, 2001 … 9-11-2001: We Shall Never Forget, Please Do Not Ever Forget

 

AMERICA, HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN … PLEASE DON’T

 

Do not ever let anyone tell you that it  an act of intolerance to remember what happened on September11, 2001. The United States is the most tolerant country ever created. We have religious freedom in the United States, which is more than I can say for the many other countries around the world. Maybe folks need to be tolerant and considerate of those who lost so much 9 years ago today? Why don’t we hear that message from the politicians in power? Because in the PC world they live in, they have forgotten. Those who forget then past are destined to repeat it.

Today represents the 9th anniversary of September 11, 2001, a date that will forever live in infamy and a day that should never be forgotten. While watching the news coverage and video footage this morning a tear came to my eye and that same horrible feeling that I felt 9 years ago. I remember the exact place and thing that I was doing when I heard news that the first plane had hit one of the towers of the World Trade Center. Then the horrible feeling I felt in my stomach as I watched live the second plane crash into the Twin Towers and I knew our world would never be the same again.

 

Have you forgotten America? Have you forgot what you were doing that fateful day as 3000 of our fellow brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, cousins, grandparents, loved ones and friends died that day? Have you forgot the image of the Muslim terrorist flying hijacked planes into the World Trade Center Twin Towers, not once but twice?

 

Have you forgotten the scenes of another hijacked plane crashing into the Pentagon? Have you forgotten the image, the sights, the screams and the disbelief of watching the Twin Towers fall and all the life lost? Have you forgot the images of people jumping to their deaths rather than being burned alive? Have you forgotten the bravery of the emergecy rescue workers, police, and firman rushing into the burning buildings to save others and making the ultimate sacrifice?

Michelle Malkin tells us not to forget as well and asks us to remember, ”Remembrance is worthless without resolve. Resolve is useless without action.”

 

Take a good listen to those that were there when the towers fell, have you forgotten?

 Have you forgotten the bravery of those aboard Flight 93 and those who sacrificed their lives in order to save others. These people crashed the plane in a field in Shanksville, PA knowing that other planes had been hijacked and crashed into buildings. Never forget hero Todd Beamer’s last audible words on Flight 93 as he and his fellow hero passengers stormed the cockpit, “Are you guys ready? Let’s roll.”

LET’S ROLL: THE STORY OF FLIGHT 93

 

Remember the ultimaet victims of 9-11, THE CHILDREN!

Do not ever forget the leadership provided by President George W. Bush when on on the bullhorn he stated to the American people,“I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you. And, the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.”

      Hey, Monkeys—-

      No, we will NEVER FORGET. Ever. Haunts me to this day, the countless numbers of families and lives the Terrorist Attack affected. To this day.

      My Mom & Dad lost a very good Family friend on 9/11. Stranger yet, and for me personally- a former business colleague & friend was speaking with me on the morning of 9/11 in NYC. He was due in the City for a business meeting @ 10:00 a.m (in WTC 7, 34th Floor) & had called me last minute to confirm a POC on an old joint Telecomm Account we had worked on together when he lived in Boston and we worked out of the same office in Mass for WCOM/MCI/VERIZON. Strangely enough, he was LATE for that meeting on 9/11 for a variety of reasons—mainly bc he had received a phone call from his Mother directly after the first tower was hit. His Mother (nice little nosey Jewish Lady that she is!) could see the smoke and flames from her Apartment in NYC, in essence immediately dailed her son—-so, IMO, she saved her Son’s life, no doubt. He lived in SI with his Family, and had just gotten off the Staten Island Ferry and was heading in to Lower East Manhattan. What brings chills to the back of my neck to this day- is speaking on the phone with him shortly before all hell broke loose. Needless to say- he knew something was going on since his Mother had called him right after the first tower was hit- but in that brief second of time…there was so much confusion, no one really knew that it was a Terrorist attack at that point. He told me his Mom had the radio & TV report on, and all he knew was that there was a plane or something that had hit one of the towers and there was some type of accident. Wow. Just WOW.

      Of course, I was in a panicking the rest of the entire day since after the 2nd strike- there was no longer any further mobile phone contact for thousands the rest of the day—incoming or outgoing. I knew in my heart he was safe, because of course, he chose not to even bother to finish the rest of his commute to Lower Manhattan to check out if the Meeting was still being held. It was just spooky, and so eerie—there are thousands of us with similar stories, and unfortunately—HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of AMERICANS with worse stories of loss, suffering, sadness and pain. There were over 60 babies born post 9/11 whose parents were killed that day.

      The stories are moving, and thank you SM for posting some of the beautiful things, and most all of the sad.

      Stand up, America! NEVER EVER FORGET 9/11 and the nearly 4,000 lives lost due to acts and the attack of Extreme Muslim Terrorists! We have the complete history—we know who is directly involved and responsible.,,,,and we should not EVER FORGET!

      I do not discriminate nor shall I ever judge every Muslim living inside this Country or Not. This is not about RELIGION OR RACISIM. This is about honoring America’s victims and their families.

      I do not support, nor want a Mosque built anywhere, repeat anywhere near the Ground Zero Site. With all of the Mosques already present in NYC—is there really a need to have yet another this close to this sacred ground? Hell, No there is not. Michael Bloomberg—you are an Idiot! You missed the point entirely. This is about using better discretion and picking a better spot.

      RESTORE AMERICA! Start listening to what your heart and mind tells you! Let’s get back to the basics, vote Obama out of office in 2011 and not listen to the drivel of the insanely moronic Left Bleeding Heart Liberals who do not have a clue about anything, let alone Politics or Government.

      No Mosque near 9/11~ We will never forget.

      And, you know what- Yes, George Dubya….I DO MISS YOU! You were far from perfect, you made your share of mistakes, but I would vote for a Man like you for President ANY day over an EMPTY SUIT, INEXPERIENCED, TELEPROMPTER READING, ANTI-AMERICAN SOCIALIST, ELITIST, PASSIVE-AGRESSIVE PERSONALITY DISORDER, BS ARTIST like Barack Obama!

      ////end of rant///

      9-11- We will never forget.

      I will never forget the horror of the 9/11/2001 attacks. The victims are Americans; they are our family, friends and neighbors. Those that declared this war on us and their sympathizers are all murderous cowards. They try to reflect their spiritual evil on all of us through their constant deception. Their lying speeches are only fooling themselves. They have ignored the truth that is spoken in their hearts. The prayers and tears of their many victims echo in heaven.

      I thank President Bush and our brave military for trying to defend the innocent victims.

      America was, and still is, the greatest country in the world. New York City is the greatest and Americans are the greatest in the world. They are kind, generous (to a fault) and forgiving. To build a mosque near ground zero is a slap in the face to all Americans but especially those whose innocent loved ones were murdered that day. It doesn’t take an exceptional person to realize that. People who want to build the mosque don’t care about the grief that is still so raw, regardless of what they say. Then they even have the nerve to twist our Constitution to serve their needs. Mayor Mike turned out to be a disgrace to the city and the country and the same for all the others that are spouting their ridiculous claims of freedom of speech and religion. Who the hell knows about those freedoms better than us. That has never been the issue and they know it. I believe we should stop catering to those whose actions show that they hate us and we have to start getting tougher. A mosque by ground zero…the respomse should be absolutely not!!!!! Why are we showing them we’re scared? I say we have to start fighting back. We can gain back our credibility and what can we lose? They are killing us anyway. Michelle Obama gave a speech today in Pennsylvania and it was very different from things she sdaid on the campaign trail. When did she start loving and feeling proud to be an American? We have to be strong and brave and start fighting to get our country back.because the country I grew up in is the kind I want my grandchildren to grow up in.

      I will NEVER, ever forget the horrifying events that unfolded right before our very eyes and ears on TV and radio the morning of September 11, 2001, as long as I live!! I will always remember where I was and what I was doing that tragic day. I’m just as angry today as I was then. It was difficult to watch the old TV coverage this morning without shedding tears.

      I will NEVER forget people jumping out of the towers, knowing they were jumping to their death :-( I will NEVER forget the fear on the faces of people running down the streets of Manhattan, running for their lifes. At the time, we feared for our own lifes (working for a major military command), not knowing if we would take a direct hit like the Pentagon.

      May all radical Islamic Muslim extremists responsible for the terrorist attacks on 9/11 rot in hell forever!!

      God bless America!!

      Obama is sinking so low that I don’t think he will ever be able to gain back his popularity or credibility. He says and does the most outrageous things but he overestimates himself and underestimates the American people. He’s done. Please God continue to bless America!

    10. Rick on September 12th, 2010 6:54 pm

      Obama thinks he can dispel rumors. Truth is he is at best a bona fide Muslim. At the least he is a Muslim sympathizer. People, please…why do you think the Muslims are becoming more vocal about where their Mosques should be built? We were stupid enough to put one of their own in our White House. They know he will defend them over you or me. If this jackass doesn’t get voted out in 2012, well we deserve whatever HELL will befit us.

      @9

      the plan for the mosque was alread there in januari.

    12. Scott on September 15th, 2010 1:14 pm

      Idiot boy #11 – more unfactual information filtering out of your mouth like usual.

      What does your moronic 4th grade comment have to do with anything? So what if the plan was already there in January 2009? So what if the plan was already there in December 2008?

      It does NOT belong there. Period.

      You know how to get these idiots not to build their mosque on that site?

      Someone open a PORK BARBEQUE restauarant right next door. ON the other side have a GAY dance club during the day (with Dolf as the lead act) and a strip club during the night.

      Again moron, your opinion does not matter here. Your opinion holds no weight here. You are Euro-trash!

    14. TSA Allows Box Cutters to Get Through Airport Security at JFK and on Plane | Scared Monkeys on March 2nd, 2011 8:01 am

      [...] Obviously the TSA has completely forgot why they were even created in the first place after terrorist brought box cutters on planes on September 11, 2001 and forever changed America. The incidentoccured on Saturday as Eusebio D. Peraltalajara of  Jersey City, NJ walked right past screeners and on to his Dominican Republic bound flight. The box cutters were discovered when the passenger went to store his luggage fell out. A passenger managed to waltz past JFK’s ramped-up security gantlet with three boxcutters in his carry-on luggage — easily boarding an international flight while carrying the weapon of choice of the 9/11 hijackers, sources told The Post yesterday. The stunning breach grounded the flight for three hours Saturday night and drew fury from Port Authority cops, who accused the Transportation Security Administration of being asleep on the job. “In case anyone has forgotten, the TSA was created because of a couple boxcutter incidents,” said one PAPD source, referring to the weapons used by al Qaeda operatives to commandeer the jets they later slammed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 9/11.
