I get sick watching all those people falling to their deaths History you dont care about : My uncle Dave was a head electrician on the original WTC project. He served in WWII in the pacific, getting shot down 3 times before he could find a plane that would stay aloft and my lifelong friends Dad, Akira Yamasaki was the man in charge of putting the giant antenna up there. He was in a concentration camp (we called em interment) in California during WWII What a great country we all came together to build those beautiful buildings in the USA and raised families and what the freakin hell is going on why we cant work together now So again, another year I have to reflect on the people I knew and didnt know who didnt come home, friends who are gone who were responders and folks who just lucky were late to work that day who are not the same. Are any of us the same? To think Clinton could have wacked Osama before it happened makes me sick The whole they have to like us bullshit needs to be buried and forgotten There are those who want us dead because we are FREE. They declared war and we either fight it or they kill us one way or the other. I for one vote to stay free. https://youtu.be/Tv1XL1akTco

Oss right there with you brother.  This past June my township received a piece of WTC steel. I was lucky enough to escort it down the NJ turnpike. Tomorrow i will be standing flag line as the ceremony takes place. Tomorrow will be a very tough day for sure. Peace and Prayers Big Rig

Our current worthless ass excuse for an "administration" don't "believe" we are at war. I've been to a war-we are in one. BUT it is NOT being fought half a world away-it IS here in CONUS. AND It's only going to get worse. PLUS all this P C bull crap only makes us as a Country weaker by the day. I'm old I'm tired I hurt-BUT I can and will defend this Country again-whether I'm forced into it or not. NOT for deception central but for people that STILL believe in the principals of this Country. Evan my Yankee New York friend-sorry for your loss. I too lost friends and relatives in a little far off country we call The Nam. I CAN and DO relate. Friend of mine in the P G R uses this tag line-PRAY for peace-PREPARE for War. RIDE SAFE

Oss, some days I remember like they were yesterday. The JFK assassination, men on the moon, Challenger explosion, Columbia breakup (as I watched from my backyard) and the day the towers fell. I will join you in shedding tears tomorrow as I remember that day and the heroic efforts of the FDNY and the NYPD as they died trying to rescue those in the towers.
We must never forget who attacked and the fact that they are still at war with us, despite the current administration's love of our enemies.

I remember 9/11 as if it was yesterday.
I won't express my feelings here as I'd end up hurting someones feelings.
However, my thought on that now is screw it, I don't give a crap who I piss off.

I think everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing when they got that horrible news of the attacks. We watched it unfold on the TVs in the cafeteria at work. As Evan said, it was perhaps the saddest thing I've ever witnessed watching American Citizens jumping to their deaths and to know our first responders didn't make it out.
I wasn't around for Pearl Harbor but this will be my day that will "also" live in Infamy!
I pray that the souls of our family, friends, and countrymen that were lost are now at Peace.

I remember every moment. My Boss was in the air over Newark and saw the plane hit the tower and called me from his cell phone in the plane.
Sad part is we are so stupid now that we make treaties with the very ones that want to kill us while they are chanting it.

This morning on talk radio they had a segment where a number of college freshmen were asked if they knew why America was attacked by radical Muslims on 9/11. Their answers, without exception, were disturbing. One girl said it was in retaliation for Bush invading Iraq  You have to keep in mind that these kids were only 4-yo at the time, but it says a lot about what they've been taught since then.

I remember both Pearl Harbor and 9/11.
After Pearl Harbor everyone, i mean everyone was on the same page: Make them pay! Patriotism was evident and we were untied. United through the end.
I witnessed on tv the second tower hit and thought, maybe, just maybe, this will unite us. It did for awhile. Our allies were all with us, our National Anthem was played in England and flag buying was over the top. It didn't last. People forgot.
The last seven years we have a POTUS who took that all away and even apologized for our Greatness. If FDR would've acted the same, he, FDR, would've been impeached at the very least.
In my opinion, this president, his administration, and both political parties must be held responsible for any terrorists attacks on our soil. The Democratic Party has created the condition for attacks and the do nothing Republican Party for letting it happen.
God Bless America! We will need it.

Everybody SHOULD remember this date! I would venture to say  that there are a great many that don't have a clue or even worse, don't care. My station flag is at half mast and we have a ceremony every year on this date. WE REMEMBER THE 343 AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT LOST ON THIS DATE!

Although I never met them, I lost 343 brothers that day. Today, as that day I will mourn them.  And I will mourn for the others who were murdered on that day as well.  War was declared upon us that day and we have been under attack ever since.    Until our so called "leaders" understand this and act upon it, our way of life is endangered.

My oath of enlistment still stands. Today has been touch and go with the emotions and tears. Everyone in America is only 3 people away from knowing someone directly involved wiith the second day which will live in infamy. We have been lied to, used and shat upon by our elected tormentors. Again, Casa de Chaos is the only house on the street flying proudly Old Glory.

My neighbor and I were discussing this very item-9/11/01-and we both made mention of how MANY Flags were flying on 9//12/01. I'm on my 5th replacement Flag since 9/11/01. IF they don't starve me out IF they don't pull my bit of retirement money IF they don't put the price of staying somewhat comfortable COMPLETELY out of reach IF the chinese don't foreclose on the mortgage IF they don't poison my water IF they don't give away my Social Insecurity and IF the blue bus shows up-game on. Sorry sumbitches. RIDE SAFE.

While loss of innocent life is horrible, I'm thinking Karma. I normally don't go with that kind of thing but, kind of ironic that this happened on 9/11. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/12/world/middleeast/crane-crash-grand-mosque-mecca.html?_r=0

From the article: The Saudi authorities go to great lengths to keep pilgrims safe as they visit, but disasters have occurred.
In 2006, a stampede on a bridge that is part of the pilgrimage route left more than 300 people dead, and in 2004 a stampede there killed more than 200. The worst stampede, in 1990, claimed 1,400 lives.

And now, we are giving back to Iran, a Prime Sponsor of Terror, 100-150 BILLION Dollars. AND the right to buy and sell arms. AND the right to develop ICBM's. AND the right to develop an atomic bomb in 10-13 years.
And, we are getting a PROMISE to not develop a nuke during that time.
What is Iran's track record on cheating? 100%. 100% cheating record.
Why in the world did we give them the right to develop ICBM's? There is only one use for them for Iran. To lob an atomic bomb to the United States. And, we just OK'd that!
I sincerely hope the Admin and the Dems are correct. That Iran now will moderate, and become our friends.
The Dems and Obama now own this. IF terrorism increases because of the BILLIONS they now have, blame the Dems and Obama. IF our children and grandchildren have to deal with a nuclear Iran, blame the Dems and Obama.
Not a single Repub voted for this.
I hope and pray that I, and most of the US, are wrong, and the Dems and Obama get to take credit for reducing terrorism, preventing Iran from ever getting an atomic bomb, and generally becoming friendlier with us. They have repeated over and over again that this will happen.
I hope and pray the anti deal people, like myself, are totally wrong.
Otherwise, sometime down the road, there will be a terrorism disaster that will make 9/11 look like a molehill. And, there will be thousands of small events, where ONLY a few get killed, all over the world.
I pray the Dems are correct.

If it wasn't before, it should now be painfully obvious that our so called leaders have NO understanding of our enemies in the middle east.
The only reason that I can see to allow Iran to have nukes is so that they can use them against us.
The only conclusion that I can draw from this is that Obama wants to see this country destroyed.
Can you say, Manchurian Candidate ?
The ONLY true friend that we have in the middle east is Israel and no president has ever done more to disrespect and endanger them than the current one.
He is either a narcissistic blundering idiot or the best friend that our muslim enemies have ever had.
