Thanks for hosting the SPS again Roger :thumbsup:

JFK was assassinated when I was three years old. When I was 11 or 12, I remember people saying they remembered where they were when they heard the news. I was puzzled as to how anybody could remember their specific location, and what they were doing, on a day that seemed like ancient history. Forgot all about that until 9/11. After that, I understood. I'll always know where I was when I heard about the attacks. I was in Papa Joe's restaurant in Lincoln, Missouri having breakfast. Once it became apparent that multiple planes had crashed, my first utterance was, "We're at war."

Its good to remember this day, the heroes that went in, the folks in the buildings and on the planes just going about their business, and unfortunately, the hatred that brought it about.

I don't have any commemorative or patriotic themed Bucks, so I'll post this Slim 112 carbon fiber because its pretty View attachment 1927421

I was in 2nd grade when Kennedy was assassinated. The principal made an announcement over the PA system.
 
Thank you Roger for doing the Sunday Picture Show. I watched the 2nd Tower being struck on live TV. Talk about burning an image in your brain. I hope that the first responders got the medical coverage that they needed for long term care.
I am still liking the Club Knife I picked up the 2018 Reunion.View attachment 1927554View attachment 1927556View attachment 1927555

Thanks JB.
I like that it's different than the Custom Shop knife.
Buck could sell everyone of those they made.
Nice knife!
 
Thanks again DeSoto for the SPS, and everyone that contributes.

They say our nation is at it's best when things are at their worst.🇺🇲
I pray it doesn't take another tragic event to bring people back together.

Here's my flat grind 102 with some pears I picked this morning.
There's been a nice apple crop this year too.

Huh. I was in the 2nd grade as well. We were sent home from school early and I wasn't sure why.

IIRC I was also in the second grade, at a parochial school. I remember all the lay teachers and nuns crying and we were also sent home, I recall confusion about what was happening. I do remember seeing Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Oswald on TV in the aftermath. OH
 
I watched Lee Oswald getting shot on live TV..On 911 Kathy was watching TV and woke me up when the first plane hit. I was watching live when the 2nd plane hit and left immediately to go to WinDixie for supplies. It was a madhouse! But folks did pay pay instead of looting. I had a very full cart and when I got to my car there was a big dent on the side (probably from a full cart that got away from a shopper.)
I filled the gas tank and went home quickly. Kathy's sister Brendan's plane got diverted to land in Chicago and she had to rent a box truck to try and make it back to WV. No cars were available. I was really upset our president made sure his Saudi's buddies got permission to fly out when ALL Americans were grounded. 15 of the hijackers were Saudi's..Money buys lots of powerful friends..

The Saudi kingdom is a very complex society and culture. There are some there who are enemies and genuine threats to all, but there are a few who do their best within their system to do right both for the kingdom as well as the outside world. The latter are under more threat from their brothers than we will ever be. Given that, pretty much every Bush was/is a tool.
 
rhino I see your point..But what I really think is 911 was needed to get the Patriot act passed. And as a way for literally trillions of dollars to be made. And more for the money. The lives lost that day and since in fighting that followed was considered a small price to pay for the incredible amount of money that followed..
