Re: 9/11/2001
Geoff, you are an eternal hero, we are indebted to your selfless service. Blessings to all those who were killed that day and to those whom are STILL dying to this day due to inhaled/injested carcinogens, PTSD/suicide.
FU2, my condolences to you and your family. We will never know the TOTAL number of innocent souls who were/are being murdered. I am proud to be a "good guy" on the "right side", many of my "Regimental-Brothers" have paid the ultimate price in the fight for security for all of us North Americans. Pro-Patria the motto of my Infantry Regiment-R.C.R. (Royal Canadian Regiment) which means-For Country. Lest We Forget. peace Hog |

Re: 9/11/2001
Frank,
I had no idea that you lost a brother on 9/11. Our belated sympathies to you and your family. I was working in NYC at the time and saw the second plane hit the tower from my office window as we were watching the first tower burning. It was at that point we knew it was an attack. A co-worker and I pulled ourselves together and left. We were only a couple of blocks from the Empire State building and across the street from Penn Station. Not a great area to be in considering what was going on. We got on one of the last trains to leave Penn Station before they locked it down along with a vast number of other significant buildings. It was an emotional and surreal time for all, especially for those leaving and watching the hundreds of people coming out of the station not knowing what happened. We must never forget those that were lost as direct victims and those that gave all to help save others.

Re: 9/11/2001
I am relieved to see that they listed his death as a homicide because too often they want to be politically correct.
Words have meaning such as civilian, which clearly differentiates between acts of war against armed forces vs. unarmed men, women, and children. The word terrorist which these cowards clearly were, instead of freedom fighters which clearly they were not. The word hero, which clearly the emergency responders were who lost their lives trying to save others. There is nothing we can do for them now, but we should always remember their bravery, sacrifice, and heroism. I for one will be donating blood in their honor.

Re: 9/11/2001
How about we please just honor those we lost and don't waste any words on the turds that did it. None. They don't deserve being remembered.

Re: 9/11/2001
Frank, I offer my prayers for your brother, and all the others who died that day.
May Our Lord keep all of them in His grace, and comfort the families left behind.
