Seems like even in here the day has lost its importance.

It's easy to imagine with the cultural texture we have in America today that the day will be as forgotten as the day the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

But...........the Germans didn't bomb Pearl Harbor.
TOGA!

Here's a story about a small muni golf course in Wisconsin that ran a promotion for a 9-hole round for $9.11 to mark the anniversary. They'll have a cop on-site for the day because of all the negative complaints and death threats against the course.

It was one of the most incredible live news broadcasts I have ever watched as well as one of the saddest. I was glued to the screen. The images are burned into my brain indelibly.
S! to the fallen

This ^^ I remember and honor the fallen in my own way, doesn't mean my way is better or worse than any other person touched by the events of today 12 years or 1 year ago, just different then most I guess.
<S> to those who will always remember

As a member of the young generation. I still take 9/11 personally......
Cheez TV, the greatest children's comedy cartoon program on at 6-AM before elementary school (primary school here) was cancelled on September 11th 2001, after CNN took over broadcasts on all channels. When our troops moved in on the people responsible... it was personal... no more Pokemon and Dragonball Z for a month.... it would not stand.
On a serious note, while I do not believe we know the truth about what happened that day (not going to discuss that here) the people that died on that day just went to work like anyone else, and some (insert expletive) holes decided that they were going to kill people.
RIP
We must never forget it. :salute

Well, as one of the first 200 U.S. troops into Afghanistan that killed as many of those hajji bastards as I possibly could, I'm inclined to give some of you a big "screw you" for all the families are still losing loved ones to this day because of that fateful day. Treat it as just another day to play with your joysticks all you want, but to some of us it was a life changing day that will NEVER be forgotten or treated as just another day. I'll leave this conversation now before I start getting fired up.
Out.

I almost lost a cousin at the Pentagon. It's personal to me, but I cannot watch the footage over and over. I still fly the flag from Dawn to Dusk and no one else on my street does. I also brought home my newborn son and wife home from the hospital. I'll never forget, but I do my best.

Saddly there are people still dying today as a result of this tragedy! Many first responders and their families are paying the as I type this.
I have a close friend who finally passed after 12 years of fighting the effects of being a first responder!
To those fallen and still falling! :salute

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..

Watch the 102 minutes of 911 on the History Channel after work last night, all the raw footage they accumulated from various peoples video cams was amazing and strange how some people react in situations like that, some just know to get as far away as possible and others have to get as close as possible.
