nice Klink, it was a tragedy thats for sure, and my heart goes to all the men and women who had their lives taken.

My wife and I went out this weekend an bought an American flag. It proudly adorns the front of our home in rememberance of all that lost their lives on 9/11, all of our soldiers that risk their lives every day for our freedom and safety, and to all the men and women that fight our fires, patrol our streets, drive our ambulances and man our medical facilities. I guess what I'm trying to say is:

 

GOD BLESS THE USA!

I Salute my fellow men and women in uniform for all the sacrifices that have been made to honor the victims of 9/11 and to ensure The United States of America stays free and proud.

 

I also would like to thank all families and everyone else who continue to support us.

While my heart is very heavy on this day of rememberance of the Sept. 11, 2005 attacks today is not the only day I choose to pray for the victims of the attacks and the families of those victims. I pray for them all every day of my life and I always will. I will never forget.

 

 

 

(Klink, I love your new sig)

God bless all to have lost their lives and the ones that survived! Never forget.
i have a question would you guys have jumped lioke some of the people did?

My God. That last one... a man, just like a lot of us here, who went to work to make an honest living ---- and not hours later found himself trying to decide whether to burn to death or jump to his death. None of us here can ever fathom how difficult a decision that must have been. It amazes me that people can ask us to have mercy on the regimes that carried out this plot after looking at a photograph like that.

 

May his soul rest in peace and his family find peace in their hearts after such a loss.

As I said in my previous reply, I don't think that any of us can rightfully answer that. The emotion and fear involved in that situation is something that none of us here can relate to. There isn't one person on this forum that has had to make a decision between which of two or three ways they definitely want to die within the next hour.

 

A USA Today article said:

 

"Ultimately, they were choosing not whether to die but how to die."

Thanks Star, I just love seeing people fall from 90 stories up.

Great way to remember

I salute all those that were lost in it and tried to save some in it and those Soldiers that lost and risked their lives to do something about it toreduce chance of it happening again. :rolleyes:

No one likes to see that, but it is a grim reminder of just what went on that day. While you don't want to look at the photo, the terrorist were laughing at the same photo. If we don't take the time to "some times" look at the shocking photos we will forget just how bad it was that day, just like a love one lost in past years, the memory of them is there but the details of them fade to us. This is Gods way of lessing the pain for us humans. The only thing that I hate is that it brings it all back to the ones that lost someone that day. I keep some of the photos to go over from time to time to help remind me, that there are thoes that would take my , and your, freedom away. All in all I still under stand your point of view and respect it. I guess I responded to your thread because I see young and old alike, on the Forth of July that don't seem to under stand just what it is that we should be remembering. Maybe we got attacked because we've just started taking it all for granted.

 

God Bless Us All,

i have a question would you guys have jumped lioke some of the people did?

No. I would keep trying to find way to safety, if it ment burning trying. "Look up, waaaaay up, and I'll call Rusty and lower The Friendly Giant's draw bridge." :rolleyes: :) Pain cannot stop us from moving through flames to seek shelter, as many Fireman and non Fireman have done at cost of great injury, but saved their lives and others. Something for one's self and all to be proud of. Great strength and pain tolerance can be realized by anyone, if the mind is made up to do so. This is how we "move mountains". :)
I honestly think if I knew I couldn't go down, I'd go right to the TOP of the building and ride that b*$(# down!!!!

you would never survive even if you could have made it all the way down, you would suffocate halfway to the ground
The point isn't whether or not I die, its HOW I'd die.

Good point. It's being able to choose.
