When i lived in NH our fire station sent an engine and crew to NY on a volunteer basis. I spent 22 days on that pile and can still remember the smell the taste and the feeling of helplessness. This day is always gonna bring sadness to me and I am sorry but everybody has their own way of dealing with
I have been to the flight 93 memorial in shanksville pa and twice to ground zero as honor guard for the 5th and 10th anniversary. I still would like to make it to the Pentagon's memorial. You think its overblown, go to one of these sights on 9/11 any year.... look into the eyes of the kids of the victims. Talk to the first responders who survived, then say the same thing.
Pearl Harbor was how many years ago? Don't we still remember that?? Are people getting so complacent in their own worlds that they have forgotten what happened to all those innocent lives?? Can anyone tell me how old the youngest victims were and how many fathers, mother's, brothers, sisters, were lost??? Too many in my books.
USRanger thanks for your service and any who have served.
Im sorry for the rant but this day means more ti me because of personal reasons.
If I offended anyone im sorry..
