On that day

Agreed. I've already been online this morning viewing many of the images from that day. Another date that will live in infamy. Thanks DB.

Thanks for remembering, RABII. Yes, it is "another date that will live in infamy." Let's all hope that we don't have anymore.
 
Indeed. Let's remember the day.

Also remember our focused actions right after.

Contemplate our actions today in comparison.

Reflect when you get a chance to vote on the above.

mmm

Exactly right. It's important to remember what happened on that day, but it's even more important to vote for our tomorrows. Let's vote to never let it happen again.

Thanks, Bladite, that was a timely reminder.

Exactly,

I think that if 'most' of us remember what/why/when/ where we are, and doing what needs to be done we'd have a little more understanding why we need to finish this thing..

Reflecting back to that day I'll just say its a good thing (or is it) that I wasn't president as we wouldn't be searching for benladin or the taliban we'd be trying to piece back the puzzle of the country which once was..
 
And...
This day should NEVER be made into a holiday. A shifting Monday/Friday three day weekend excuse for grilling and swilling beer. It should remain a day of remembrance whether it falls on a Saturday or a Tuesday, that we NEVER forget the attack, nor the hatred and religious intolerance that spawned the attack, which still exists today. It is not only a day to remember, but a day to remember not to let out guard down, ever.
 
Hope we don't but realize we will as long as we continue to show we have no stomach for the war that has been declared on us. We can't even admit we *are* at war.
 
A day of tremendous loss. A country united against a terrible enemy. Victorious in battle on foreign soil. Today, a country divided and the enemy has more rights than our citizens and soldiers.
 
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
 
While I agree with much of the sentiment here, It's getting a little too political for the Becker forum.

We all have strong feelings about, and condemn, terrorism and the cowards who perpetrated the attack on 911. Here, though, let's confine ourselves to remembering the Americans who died on that day, and the brave Americans who worked tirelessly to save as many as possible.

When we start letting it drift into the political realm, then things get heated, and the thread gets shut down.

I think most of you know how I feel about this subject, and it's pretty evident how most of you feel.

Let's keep the politics out of it, okay?

Nuff said.
