We will never forget!

[Meghan]

This day should not go without all of us remembering those who gave all!
Just a few images in memorial to September 11th, 2001.
Lets not also forget the lives lost at the Pentagon and on flight 93.

"That morning, 19 men affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. Each team of hijackers included a trained pilot. Two planes (United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines Flight 11) crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, one plane into each tower (One and Two). Both towers collapsed within two hours. The pilot of the third team crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia. Passengers and members of the flight crew on the fourth aircraft (United Airlines Flight 93) attempted to retake control of their plane from the hijackers; that plane crashed into a field near the town of Shanksville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania. As well as the 19 hijackers, a confirmed 2,973 people died and another 24 remain missing as a result of these attacks."

Also we must remind ourselves, these people want to kill us period! One cannot negotiate with them. I know that sounds harsh, but it is reality. While I am on my soapbox, are you ladies ready to wear a burka?! Our way of life is under attack. Well enough rambling, back to last day of vacation

I went to a private college here witha rep for wealthy families, I'll never forget that day. One, most of my college was from the NY area. But I remeber one guy who I can't remember what business his fmaily owned but they were in the Towers. He basically lost his whole family, mother, father, two brothers, sister, grandfather and other fmaily members. Black limo came to the school with some bodyguard dudes and picked him up, never heard from him again.

We had a house up in Nyack, NY on the Hudson River. Mothers boyfriend had a son at a big law firm in one of the buildings behind the center, he was there at the time of the crashes. He freaked out b/c he couldn't get a hold of his son. Everyone at my college was pretty must histarical b/c most were from NY and couldn't get in touch with anybody there b/c of cell phone system going down.

I was eating breakfast with my roomate and watching the news when it showed a plane crash. At first I was like "what idiot is flying and crashes into that building, its not like you can't see two massive towers". And then a short while later another plane hit and we were like wtf is going on. I also remember a week or so later our school sent letters out to those who were of muslim faith basically telling them it was in their best intrest to leave mainly b/c people starting blamming them even though they had nothing to do with 9/11. Actually I think it was a federal mandate that had all schools do that b/c they were worried of people who might riot or start something against that religion. One person at my school had a rock chucked at his head.

R.I.P. to those that lost their lives 9/11

I was in Epcot on 9/11 and once we heard the news (i dont think we heard until about 10:30 or so.... both towers were down by the time we got to the cars) we tried calling people back home (NY) and it was really tough to get thru with so many people tying up the lines......
Sad, sad, day... I was so angry/upset, etc.....

Surf, thats a horrible story about the student that lost so much of his family... I wonder why I never heard of that before.. you figure something so tragic would be news...

Never forget our brothers and sisters that lost their lives on 9/11.
