Ya know, I get the chills whenI watch Friends and I see a shot of the Twin Towers.....I remeber my mon telling me what happend when we got in the car to go home. Of corse I didn't understand it I was only 6....I read in the Daily Home (local newspaper) about it.....sad...just....sad.
   When ever I see pictures of New York with the World Trade center, I get cillls......I remeber watching the fotage when I 6........but good things came out of it...We found out who wanted to get us was got them.......Remeber, all those who are called acording to God purpose,good things will come for bad.....Good thhings came from it....now  matter how hard it is to see through the fog......

thanks for making this thread MandoGirl415,
Its always important to reflect and remember those who where lost.  I was in a Med library at the hospital where i worked and did not even know the U.S. had been attacked until i saw all my co-workers were huddled around the tv.
A very surreal day, my brother was there but got out in time, he still is very distant when you ask him about it. His recollection of the day is quite gruesome.

Great thread MadoGirl.  I really felt bad when I realized what day it was.....had completely spaced on it in the days up to now.

I was in Cape Cod at the time...we were supposed to fly home the very next day.  When I woke up i heard something about a plane hitting the World Trade Center, and the first thing to pop into my mind was some tiny, single engine plane had probably bumped into one of the buildings, and the newsies were exagerating as usual.  But when I turned on the TV.....all the smoke.....and then just a minute after I turned it on the second plane hit...................just turned my world upside down

Was the day I really began to seriously consider joining the military myself...

Personally I can remember feeling shell shocked, it was a work day for me. Don't remember much more than that because it felt so surreal.

I can't belive it happened...Even after 7 years, my thoughts around it...it just couldn't be real.

that would be an awesome thread.......

If you get the chance to try out some of your ideas on him, can I come?   

I would rather cause him a slow, painful death. Taking away piece by piece of him, until he realizes that he deserves it...

And I meant piece by piece. Starting at the toes, and work the way up

I was 5 when it happened so i don't remember but i have seen footage and heard of it.

Very sad. They should build a monument for the people who died(the inocent ones, not the terrorist)

no doubt such a subject as this will bring the truth out of people and revenge is a kneejerk response.  No one gets banned for voicing an opinion, and yours is shared by many.  Unfortunately, this war- the conflict over oil, all this is som10 few will agree upon.
It does make me sad that few really remember the day only seven years later- it might be the defining event of our time.  it has definitely profoundly affected the face of the world today.

Ok...I really need to comment on this because this post bothered me a lot. God forgive me, but the religion they follow IS sick and twisted. What kind of God requires that you kill THOUSANDS of INNOCENT people to get into heaven? The leaders of this group used (and still do) their religion to brainwash people into willingly dying to kill thousands.

And Osama Bin Laden DESERVES to die after what he did to us. I can name at least 5 FAMILIES that I know personally who LOST someone. I know PERSONALLY at least 15 people who were there 1-10 blocks away from the WTC on that day. You're going to tell me that a mass murder like Bin Laden doesn't deserve to die? Especially since he is PROUD as HELL for what he did.

And you want to know the difference between killing these people on American soil and killing soldiers on a battle field? Its the fact that those people that died that day. Their jobs wweren't to die for their countries. Their jobs weren't to defend their country, their families, and their freedom. Those people that died that day were innocent, everyday people. Whereas killing soldiers on a battle field in a war (as absoluely horrible as it is) is different. Those people have decided to become soldiers and to die for what they believe in. On 9/11 those were the innocents. I know too many people who lost someone that day and I almost lost too many people to ever agree with this post.

This thread was meant to share your memories of that day, your feelings about the day, and, most importantly, to remember all those who have died. RD is right, if you want to start a thread on this topic then go ahead.

I am sorry Cujo, It had just upset me...alot.

To get back on topic, I would like to bring up something else. I don't know about anyone else, but I am VERY upset that there is no Freedom Tower yet, hell there isn't even a memorial, after SEVEN YEARS. And yet Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium are pretty much done after less than a year. It makes me so mad. The Pentagon has a permanent memorial right outside where the plane hit. Ground Zero is the victims', families' cemetary. They didn't have a body to bury. This is all they have. And this year may have been the last year for the procession into Ground Zero by the families and the last year for the WTC Memorial lights *see picture in first post*. I don't know about anyone else here, but until there is AT LEAST a permanent memorial for the victims, they can't take away the lights.
