We will not forget

[Gearhart 1st MRB]

Take some time to remember those who lost their lives during this incident and thank those who serve your country.

We will remember them...

Interesting fact. While this was happening, I was in World Cultures class (10th grade) trying to look up websites on Middle Eastern countries. Every single one of them were down till that night.

Never forget!

I have nothing but the highest respect for the men and women who stepped up to help. They're true heroes.

I will always remember where I was that day. Godspeed to everyone who perished that day.

The local firefighters here in Denver are doing their Floor Climb tribute in our building, climbing the floors their brothers weren't able too. It's awe-inspiring.

Respect to those who lost a life or loved one that day.

Just to clarify, I am not posting this to joke, but to point out the absurdity that has manifested out of the tragedy. While it is not necessarily a bad thing (subjectively of course), it is something I've seen a lot of today, and I wrote a FB post about it that got a bit of hate mail and a few de-friends. I don't think this is the proper place to post it, so if you have my FB, you can read it there. Otherwise, I salute those who died trying to save the innocent, and I honor their memory by reminding myself why they died, and what they died for. That is different, I think, for every person today, but for me, it means that I can sit here and write this, I can criticize my government, I can experience a degree of freedom that is unprecedented in human history, and it is all because of others who have fought and died for this country and the belief in the right for each and every one of us to live.

I am from NY, and was In Brooklyn that day across the Bridge. In Brooklyn Heights you could see everything, when the first plane hit- The world Trembled, then the second hit- We ran.

It was a terrible day,

I remember running to the train station and getting on the first train out to Long Island.

When I got there they shut down all mass transit, all bridges, all airports.

We were trapped, on a little Island- Like Gotham City.

Silence over the Island that day, deafening Silence, not a car moved, not a plane, no one moved for 3 days.

We plotted, how we would defend ourselves in our homes, but thankfully that day would never come.

When the smoke finally cleared, we shipped, moved and tried our best to provide for those at Ground Zero.

It is still tough to think about, to tough to comprehend all that loss all at once.

God Bless those Men and Women who have given their lives, and those who continue to fight, and those who we lost that day.

I created this on 11-11-11, I think it was appropriate then as well as now...

Shout out to not only all the lives lost on 9/11 but to all the people my dad knew who didn't come home from the invasion

Damn Stone. That sounds just like a combat zone (which I have been in twice). Glad you made it out of there ok.

My big brother was in the basements preparing a presentation for the Québec/NYC covention when the first planes hit... He was holding the doors until a fireman told him to run for his life..
