We Will Never Forget

[Logit]

This Sunday marks the 10 year anniversary of the Sept 11th attacks.

I caught myself thinking damn, it's been 10 years since this happened and I still remember it like it was yesterday.

I've been watching Discovery channel, and they have had a few shows about the new building they are constructing(which looks amazing), as well as the fountain they constructed in remembrance of those who lost their lives. If you get a chance check them out, it's inspiring to hear about the effort behind it all.

It goes without saying this day will always hold a special place in our hearts, and I wish the best to everyone that was affected personally, and I would like to thank those who serve to keep our country safe from a tragedy of this proportion from ever happening again.

Where was I? Spanish class, sophomore year of high school.

Bless us all, Bless America, I will never forget.

Just walked into the office at work and everyone was watching a video on their PC screens. Just stood there with mouth wide open watching too.

My cousin died in these attacks on the towers. Will never forget what these people did.

Love the USA <3

Those Discovery shows were mad sad. I couldn't stop watching them.

I was TDY to Ft. Hood training the 1st Cav division's MI battalion on tactical intel. I was immediately recalled back to Ft.Meade, and a week later began prepping to deploy to Afghanistan.

Thank you.

I was walking into US History class my senior year. I enlisted the next day.

I woke up to take a shower, they just started showing coverage after the first plane. After, both towers were on fire. Got to school, there were no towers and some teachers were in tears.

I was only in 6th grade, but it's where my understanding of the world began. It's wierd to think about for me, but I'm sure that's the same for everyone.

Also after visiting the site a few years ago....it's just weird to think about. Not knowing what ever was here, but knowing what happened here.

I've always wanted to go visit the site, it's probably a pretty powerful scene.

Couldn't imagine trying to grasp the moment in 6th grade though, that must have been preetty crazy.

Unless it's been moved, you'll find my blue infantry cord on the wall.

I was in 11th grade Art class my teacher got a call then said "I'm not suppose to tell you this but this is going to be part of your lives and history" told us then turned on the tv.

God Bless American, we will never forget

:usa:

I was in 6th grade as well, and all of the teachers managed not to say a word of it. Didn't find out until after school. Being so young, it's not something you could understand the impact of. Thanks to all the servicemen/women who put their lives at risk for this country.

I was walking into a science class and the TV was already on. The entire floor was perfectly silent.

want a chill?

Man :(

Hadn't heard that before, nobody knew wtf was going on.

If you all are civilians who want to take part in the ongoing mission in the middle East, work for KBR or any of the other companies supporting our troops in what they are doing.

If I could have, I would have been here armed. I couldn't, so I am here working to assist the USA in what it is doing. You can't freaking believe how hot 130 degrees is, with sunshine beating on you to boot, and close to zero humidity. Sweating actually does cool you to some extent, unlike in Dubai, where sweating just seems to make your clothes wet.

Anyway, come on over and join the fun.

If you are ex-military, come over and make 20k bucks a month doing security work. I have never seen so many guys making so much money for doing so little. Except work out a lot.

Wow, 130 degrees. We had up to around 109 degree in Texas this summer. Was a dry heat and I'm happy about that. Humid heat is much worse.

Not interested. One tour in Afghanistan, two in Iraq. Then I did PMC work. I'd rather be at home with hot chicks playing paintball and enjoying the cool air. No more sand in my ass crack unless it's from the beach.
