Thank you George for the picture...it means a lot. I was a rookie of 6 months when the Towers were attacked. I now live more than 2500 miles away, but will always be a Brooklyn boy at heart.

All the best to you!

Like Mike said, it is very personal. Over the years I ate there, rode the elevators and walked by them often. A lot of pissed off people will be at the site tomorrow along with the usual folks who pay their respects each anniversary.

. . .or anyplace else in this wonderful country, Mike.


Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

it's personal down here in Texas also. We grieve with you still.

Thanks G, for us New Yorkers, it's personal.

Granted- I am sure it is.
My condolences to you all who lost friends and family.

I must say it should be personal for ALL of us.
We were all attacked, NY being the main location and suffering horribly.
Brave souls also died in PA fighting for that plane, and doing their duty at the Pentagon.
 
Sorry folks didn't mean others weren't affected. Everyone in America was. No offense meant.
Some of us had close friends and relatives who perished, that was my point.

None taken, Mike. I just want you all to know we stand with you, and we didn't forget.

Who will ever forget where they were that morning?
Utterly sickening.
 
I hate to say it, but for some folks, it's just another day. Not for me. I have a picture on my desk that was taken from the observation deck of the towers (can't remember if the deck was on the North or South). That was December 1997. The whole time I was in the area, I couldn't stop thinking the I was standing on a target due to the 1994 truck bombing. If you get a chance, read the book "102 Minutes".
 
While tomorrow will be a somber day, not a day goes by that I do not think of 9-11. We were a nation united for a little while following that terrible day. We need to regain that spirit of "Country, Unity and Freedom", and live it everyday. We all lost something that day. God bless and keep those who perished. I will never forget.
