Presidents George W. Bush & Clinton Honor the Heroes of Flight 93 in Shanksville, PA … September 11, 2001 … 10 Years Later
To the heroes of Flight 93, we remember you and we shall never forget … LET”S ROLL!!!
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends”
Former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton spoke today in an emotional event in Shanksville, PA at the unveiling of the memorial for victims of United Airlines Flight 93. The heroes of Flighty 93 were remembered today by GWB as he said, ” … they left something else, a legacy of bravery and selflessness that will always inspire America. For generations people will study the story of Fight 93. They will learn that individual choices make a difference. That love and sacrifice can triumph over evil and hate. And that what happened above this Pennsylvania field ranks among the most courageous acts in American history.“
Today was a day of honoring the 40 heroes of Flight 93 and remembering that your actions and what you do in life can echo an eternity. The heroes of Flight 93′s names are known to as all as a who’s who of what is great about America and her citizens. The heroes of Flight 93 were “We the People” who on the morning of September 1, 2001 became the first counteroffensive against the Muslim extremist terrorist. The heroes of Flight 93 embodied what is great in all of US. Against all odds, they said NO! They refused to be victims, they prevented what all know would have been a plane attack on the White House or the US Capitol. The heroes of Flight 93 gave their lives as they battled to take over the cockpit (VIDEO).
“The most likely target of the plane was the United States Capitol,” Bush said. “We’ll never know how many innocent people might have been lost, but we do know this: Americans are alive today because the passengers and crew of Flight 93 chose to act, and our nation will be forever grateful.”
Each of the 40 heroes names were read, followed by two bell rings. Sadly, even the mention of an unborn child was referenced reminding us of just how many truly innocent lives were lost. That was followed by a bagpipe performance of Amazing Grace and then Grammy-award winning singer Sarah McLachlan sang “I Will Remember You.”
Their names are permanently inscribed in our minds forever. Those who fought back against terrorism and foiled their plot of destruction. The gave the ultimate sacrifice and for that we shall always rememner you … GOD BLESS YOU ALL. We remember Todd Beamer, Mark Bingham (VIDEO), Jeremy Glick, Sandra Bradshaw, Tom Burnett and all.

KUDOS to former President Bill Clinton and VP Joe Biden for attending and speaking at the event. Clinton praised the passengers of Flight 93. What was most impressive of Clinton and Biden was their honest assessment of former President Bush and his handling of the horrendous events of 9-11 and the days that followed. Biden praised GWB for his bringing of America together on a day that could have divided us.
VP Joe Biden thanks President GWB for Uniting America following 9/11
“There has always been a special place in the common memory for people who deliberately, knowingly, certainly laid down their lives for other people to live,” said Former President Bill Clinton. “Ordinary people, given no time to decide, did the right thing…I hope and pray to God that people will remember this.”

Disgraceful … NY City Mayor Bloomberg Defends Banning Clergy & Rescue Workers From 9-11 Anniversary Ceremony
MAYOR BLOOMBERG IS A DISGRACE, THANK GOD MAYOR GIULIANI WAS MAYOR ON THAT TERRIBLE SEPTEMBER MORNING, 10 YEARS AGO.
NY City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is a disgrace and should be ashamed of himself. The NYC mayor defends the banning of clergy and rescue workers from the September 11, ten year anniversary. How can you not allow firefighters, police, paramedics and other first responder to an event like the anniversary of 9/11 when so many of them performed heroic acts and laid down their lives in the process? Bloomberg said it was a matter of there was not enough room. What, the NYC mayor had no problem finding space for politicians who had nothing to do with the terrible September morning. For that matter Mayor Bloomberg, why don’t you give up your place for a fire fighter, it’s not like you had anything to do with that day.
Bloomberg states the reason why clergy not allowed was because of “separation of church and state”. HUH? What does the anniversary of September 11 have to do with “separation of church and state’? That applies, actually it really doesn’t as its a bunch of fabricated BS, to the government, not a memorial. Why do politicians continue to fail “We the People” with their stupidity.
Mayor Bloomberg says that there is a place for prayer. Um, wouldn’t that be at an anniversary of the death of so many Americans and individuals from other countries d that died when the World Trade Center buildings came crashing down at the hands of fanatical Islamic terrorist? Bloomberg says its a day for the families. Didn’t family members of firefighters, police and other first responder die as well?
As the Gateway Pundit states, isn’t this the same mayor that bent over backwards for the 9-11 mosque? What happened to “separation of church” in that situation Mayor?
Obviously Mayor Bloomberg has forgotten … Don’t you America … Do not ever forget to have room for the heroes of September 11, 2001.

Feds Announce Possible Terror Threat Around 9/11 Anniversary … “specific, credible but unconfirmed threat”
ABC News is reporting that new al Qaeda chief Ayman al- Zawahiri launched a terror plot for the 9/11 Anniversary. According to intel being developed by the CIA, that at least three individuals entered the United States in August by air with the intent to launch a vehicle-borne attack (car bomb) against Washington, DC or New York around or near the anniversary of 9/11.
Officials say the alleged terror plot was initiated by new al Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden’s successor, who had pledged to avenge bin Laden’s death earlier this year in a U.S. raid.
Intelligence and law enforcement officials told ABC News that at least one of the individuals is a U.S. citizen and one official said that two of the individuals may have had U.S. documentation — whether green cards or passports was unclear.
The federal authorities have are warning local law enforcement that there is a potential terrorist threat involving car bombs that could coincide with the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed that it had information about a “specific, credible but unconfirmed threat.”
Many more updates at The Jawa Report … including the press conference by NYC Mayor Bloomberg, NYPD and the FBI.
The NYPD will be taking additional precautions in response to the terror threat, including increasing its patrol by a third, setting up vehicle checkpoints, and working closely with the FBI to gain any additional intelligence, Police Commissioner Kelly said in a press conference with New York Mayor Bloomberg and an FBI official[...]
UPDATE I: 9/11 Anniversary Terror Plot Probed, NYPD on High Alert
The public was urged to be extra-vigilant over the next few days and to report suspicious activity to authorities. Kelly said the city was preparing for extra calls of suspicious packages to the 311 hotline.
A source said the information comes from two separate threat streams.
The Department of Homeland Security acknowledged the latest threat in a statement, noting that intelligence gathered in the raid of Osama bin Laden’s compound after he was killed last May showed that al-Qaida is concerned with the symbolism of dates and anniversaries..

Osama Bin Laden Was Plotting Terror Attack on 9-11 Anniversary
According to communications that Navy SEALs seized from his Pakistani hideout when they captured and killed Osama Bin Laden, the terror mastermind was planning an attack on the US on the 10 year September 11 anniversary.This info among much more was just part of the information that was discovered during the Seal Team 6 incursion.
Bin Laden and his operations chief, Attiyah Abd al-Rahman, swapped views about the composition of the attack team, with bin Laden repeatedly rejecting names that Rahman suggested, according to US officials familiar with the intelligence taken from the bin Laden compound.
The plans were only in the discussion phase, American officials said. They have not seen any signs that the nascent plot ever went beyond the early planning, the officials said.
However, Bin Laden’s days of planning any more terror attacks are done … Osama Bin Laden won’t be down for breakfast.
