sluggunner Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I will never forget!!! I think of that day and the people often. The people that died, the heroic people that saved many lives, and the people that caused such meaningless destruction and sorrow. I pray for our dead countrymen and their families and I pray that someday we will no longer have to live in a world where radical extremists are trying at every chance they can to commit similar acts against our wonderful nation. God Bless America!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I'm not sure if this happens to anyone else but if I glance at a clock and the time is 9:11, I always seem to stop and reflect. I can remember that day as if it happened yesterday. Prayers to all of the families who lost a loved one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will never forget hearing the news coming across the radio in the truck thinking it could not possibly be real. Pray every night for our soldiers, will again remember those families of all those lost in prayers and thoughts today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of America has forgotten..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I was literally "teaching a class full of innocent children..." that day. I'll never forget how crystal clear it was that day. The sky seemed bluer, and not an airplane in the sky. We will be observing a moment of silence here in about a half hour.

jm23494 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I think a lot of America has forgotten..... I think you are correct with that statement. Praying for the heroes and thier families who gave thier lives that fateful day. Unfortunatley I don't think it's a matter of "if" it will happen again, it's just "when".

rhine16 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I'll never forget how crystal clear it was that day. The sky seemed bluer, and not an airplane in the sky. That's odd that you say that... 8 years ago I was taking my morning walk to school at this time. I will never forget looking up at how pretty the sky was that morning. It was the first morning that i "felt fall" coming. It was less than an hour after when we received the news at school.... all we did that day was watch the news channels. It's sad to see that hardly anyone remembers that day... The Steelers Titans game did take a moment to remember last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerforged Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Not a day goes by that I don't think about that day. I was sitting in my tree stand which happens to be on a flight pattern for GSP Airport. Hadn't seen/heard any planes go over most of the morning, didn't know until I got home what had happened.

buckee Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 This day 8 years ago changed many things. The USA would not have the president it does today, if it were not for 9/11. It's a sad day indeed, and one that has and is still writing it's own chapter in history.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTPROFamily Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 This is truly a day to remember in our hearts. Prayers for all who helped and survived and for the families of the fallen. God bless our troops and President Bush for keeping us safe for the years following 9-11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 "Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve." "The real differences around the world today are not between Jews and Arabs; Protestants and Catholics; Muslims, Croats,and Serbs. The real differences are between those who embrace peace and those who would destroy it; between those who look to the future and those who cling to the past; between those who open their arms and those who are determined to clench their fists."

OJR Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 America is "forgetting" way too soon! Most Americans don't think about the brave servicemen and women who are out there every day of the week protecting them! It is really sad!

They don't seem to care about tomorrow and just live for today. It's sad indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layin on the smackdown Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I remember that day, crystal clear...I WILL NEVER FORGET....Was listening to Mancow on the radio while working for the city...we were at a red light when the first plane hit...My first thought, being the young 21 year old naive person i was, was that someone screwed up bigtime...i specifically remember saying "someones getting fired" thinking that someone from air traffic control had messed up in a big way...Then a voice from the car next to us, this guy says, "What the heck is going on"...the look on his face said it all, and thats when i actually got a grip on what was going on, thats when i knew we were under attack, but little did i know how much it was going to change my life and everyone elses life forever. There was such an earie feeling in the air that day...very very quiet, no wind, no planes in the sky, and people wandering around aimlessly...For once, strangers were no longer strangers, and we all felt this on a personal level, we were all brothers and sisters that day... sadly, i think too many have forgotten... Remember seeing what the gas stations were like that day?Every gas station in my town was jam packed with cars...People filling up every gas can they had, it was like the end of the world was coming. Sadly, the unity i felt that day with every other American has slowly washed away...I too think many have forgotten. Prayers to all of our fallen warriors who sacrificed their lives for others and for this country. You are not a Firefighter, or a Police Officer, or a Soldier...You are our Heros... I am proud to be an American... God Bless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I think it was a defining moment that everyone remembers exactly where they were and what they were doing. But as was mentioned, I'm afraid too many have forgotten the significance of that day. I also fear this country will come under attack in our lifetime that will make that day look negligible. I pray that I'm wrong on that, but the proliferation of weapons seems to be unlimited these days. Thank god for the second ammendment folks.

ruttinbuc Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Those who care about their country and the direction it is headed least never forget. It is a different world since and we should be ever so vigilante to protect our freedom from outside our borders to within our own government. Too many are looking through rose colored glasses and have not a clue to what is happening here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
