A sad anniversary

Today is the 15th Anniversary of a Day that will live in infamy for our generation. It is so difficult to think it has been that long since the cowardly attack by Terrorists against Two locations here in the United States and the thwarting of a third attack by the passengers of an airliner at the cost of their lives. We now have<b> teenagers </font></b>that were not born at the time of these attacks. My eldest Godson was actually born 13 days after this happened. This generation has no concept of what things were like pre 9/11. For me the decade after 9/11 was the most intense of my military career , with heart ache, loss of dear friends, ultimately a divorce and it changed me more than anything else in my life. I think it is important to remember the victims, the Police, Fireman and others that ran towards the “troubles” while prudent people tried to escape. Unfortunately many of them paid for that dedication with their lives. Of the 2,977 people killed in the September 11 attacks, 414 were emergency workers in New York City who responded to the World Trade Center. This included:
341 firefighters and 2 paramedics from the New York City Fire Department (FDNY);[1]
37 police officers from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department (PAPD);[2]
23 police officers from the New York City Police Department (NYPD);[3] and
8 emergency medical technicians and paramedics from private hospital units dispatched through the 911 system, as well as commercial ambulance groups brought in under "mutual aid" for this disaster emergency medical services.[4][5]
3 New York State Court Officers[6]
Let us take some time, no matter your country of origin and remember these brave souls and pass their legend on to our . And of course a prayer for the innocents that died that day.


Timeline of the action that day

Rushing to the incident, while others escaped

Father Mychal Judge, Fire Department Chaplain, who paid the ultimate price for his service that day

Helping rescues


Twin Towers before

Twin Towers when struck

They are angels amongst us, I truly believe they still look over us

That fateful field in Pennsylvania, a Memorial to the Passengers Courage, avoiding even more deaths

The Pentagon

Teach our about service before self and the true meaning of courage

I remember that day well. I was on a business trip for the company I worked for at the time (Enron Wind) and had traveled from LA to Dallas just the evening before. Stopped in Denver around dark to change planes. Noticed a message on a monitor mentioning a "heightened state of alert" that evening. I've never been able to find out what that was about. Tried to carry on as normal that morning, even though I was listening to the world seemingly collapsing around my ears on the rental car's radio, about 1000 miles from home.

Trip that was supposed to take 3-4 days turned into almost two weeks. Learned that the people of Coleman, TX, while they have strange notions to this California native, are genuinely nice people.

That was such a scary time. And I agree with you, the bad guys must be in hell

9/11 changed the world ... and not for the better!
The Tribute in Light is a very fitting tribute.

I agree with your closing line "Teach our children about service before self and the true meaning of courage", however I would add "Without Hatred"...Dave

It was a scary time, so confusing. But it did seem to bring out the best in so many
