Fallen, not forgotten. Most of all, dont forget the young men that volunteered to enter harms way to protect the American citizens, and citizens of the World by going to War, for you. Whether you have subscribed to the attacks being by "terrorists" or you are smarter than that- the men and women that DID believe it, went to war for what they felt and believed was reason enough to fight and die for, and that is noble ! Semper Fidelis, brothers, Semper Fidelis- Errr !!!!
we should all remember that day - those who lost their lives then - those who are now risking/losing their lives in the military.........give them thanks! working very close to wash dc & andrews afb it's very hard to not remember that day ......where i was ,what i was doing,etc --- still remember the smoke in the sky from the pentagon like it was yesterday..........a day that changed our lives no doubt and a day that will never be forgotten!
How about you take YOUR non-sense somewhere else. How about you realize what a pawn you/we really are. The victims of 9/11 and our Military warriors, my brothers !!! have and continue to die for lies and the wealth of the elite !! Dude- educate yourself. We're standing up FOR YOU !! I resent your comment.
WOW I knew you were a bit headstrong from reading your hunting posts...But pulling this type of Sh!t in a Tribute/Memory thread is about enough for me....this site has to have an ignore button somewhere, time I find it. To our Troops and those who gave all on 9/11/01 ~ My Gratitude, Sympathy and Prayers.
Definitely never forget.. I will always remember exactly where I was when I watched the 2nd plane hit on live t.v... I have lost a couple very good friends in both Afghanistan and Iraq in the last few years. My hunting seasons are dedicated to them, cuz I sure as hell wouldn't be sitting in a tree, free and happy, if it wasn't for my buddies and others like them. Even though I'm kind of a shy person if its a stranger, I always make it a point to walk up and say "thanks for your service" when I see some one in military uniform. Lots of respect. And thank you to all the veterans on this forum. A lot of American blood has been spilled is past wars, all the way up to this very moment. Its because of you that we can enjoy our freedom, families, and time in the woods. Otherwise we might be speaking German or Japanese right now..
I went on a 37 mile motorcycle rally ride for 911 Memorial. There were 2000 motorcycles expected but not nearly that many showed up because of weather. It was amazing to see all the Patriots standing along the road the entire route which encompassed 5 towns, true Americans. We got drenched but it was well worth the ride. With us we carried cards with names of fallen soldiers. They passed them out to all the bikers so that no one was left behind. Prayers be with the families of our fallen heros.
Droptine, I can tell you what WAS real. My father coming home to my house after being in the Pentagon all day. I can also tell you he was on the side of the Pentagon that was hit. I had to take him to the ER at 2am in the morning with massive jet fuel inhalation. He was laboring to breathe so bad I thought he was going to pass out. He also had scratch marks all over his face from a burn victim he pulled out, that was roasted over 75% of her body. She died later. That IS real. I was also teaching a class of middle schoolers at the time. And special education middle schoolers at that.....let me tell you, I had a lot of expalining to do that day to calm those kids down. NEVER forget anyone who perished that day. Those people that jumped from those buildings haunted my dreams for a long time. Those were my countrymen and women. Never forget.
I commend your father for his actions and yourself for you ability to handle the children in which you teach !! No question about it. I saw the devistation in NY, first hand. My Fire dept sent a few pieces of aparatus and as much man power as we would let go. Horrible day. I'll never question the fact that people were injured, killed and others became heroes. I also saw, first hand, my brothers in arms giving everything they had for what they believed was a just cause. I went to way too many funerals over this.... I simply question the reason and charectors involved, obviously. Like I said, the facts are there and the truth is obtainable, just gotta dig through the crap we were fed, first. No offense taken. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, I will tell you- I've never met Michael Moore, I'm well beyong my freshman year in college, nor do I partake in the usage of any controlled substances. I spent the better part of a decade researching what I know. I listened and read what other, more informed men/women, have said and wrote regarding their research. A little investigation, an open mind and common sense is all one needs to become "enlightened". I'm no crazy conspiracy theorist. I dont belive 90% of the retarded conspiracies out there and I dont give a **** about area 51 or aliens. I work hard, study even harder, I engage in plenty of recreational activities and hold many friendships. Basically, I care about the land where my family and friends live and our freedom. So, I used the desire to live free to learn the truth so that I can better defend myself and my families freedom from those wishing to take it away.
Im speechless to what Droptine wrote...I think he did the same thing last year when I gave a tribute to those folks involved...this was not meant to be a political thread...not once did I mention anything about politics...I just want to remember those who gave and lost their lives.. can't we just do that? Droptine, I thank you for your service to our armed forces and I appreciate what you have given to our country, now just let us remember those people and their families without any motives...just respect and honor. thank you.
That is the exact reason I wrote what I did. I have nothing but respect for the men and women I have served with, and, those who continue to serve. I honor them and defend their honor, daily. I feel for the families of those lost in the horrible events of 11 Sept 2001, and, I respect and honor you for making this thread.
I know what you feel about the events of 9/11 and I can tell you that I do not believe what you believe. With that said, you have your reasons for what you believe and I can't argue with that, and don't want too. I think most on here will disagree with you, included myself, however, you have given more to this country than I ever have or even wanted too, obviously, I never served and you did, and that makes you a true warrior for MY freedoms. Thanks for understanding, again, I just wanted everyone to think about that day and those folks even just for a few seconds and for those still fighting the same fight 8 yrs later.
