Remembering The Fallen

[TeeKup]

May they rest in peace, all 2993 of them.

[Kornman00]

Don't forget the +4343 (http://icasualties.org/Iraq/index.aspx) (and counting) that followed thanks to our then Gov't abuse of situation. Well, not like the gov't has changed, only the mask that it wears.

Fuck it, might as well throw in another +824 (http://www.icasualties.org/OEF/index.aspx) too.

Unbelievably tragic day, I will never forget it till the day I die.

RIP.

[ODX]

One day, I hope to be in New York at 9:11 P.M., and give my tributes to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

9-11

I was really young when this happened. I didn't know what was going on but I was so happy to get out of school.
Now that I'm older I understand how tragic this was.

RIP all who died that day.

[UnevenElefant5]

I just remember my mom was crying and she wouldn't let me watch the news. Then at school they played the national anthem while we all stood at the flagpole.

[=sw=warlord]

i was home ill that day, i remember seeing the ticket at the bottom of the screen saying breaking news, flicked over to the news just as the planes were colliding into the towers.

[Sel]

happy 9-11

[Ganon]

this day makes the jfk assassination look like a trip to the circus.

[cheezdue]

It so dumb how my school didn't even give a moment of silence for this day.

[ultama121]

'tis a sad day...

RIP

[PopeAK49]

I don't get it. Are you trying to make a joke about 2,000 plus people dying that day?

I do find it ridiculous that even our school didn't have a moment of silence.

:mech:

Truth be told, I'm not particularly surprised. It was certainly a tragic day, but you gotta remember it happened a full eight years ago. There comes a point where it no longer becomes a group responsibility to mourn, but an individual responsibility.

Call me anti-patriotic if you want, but that's just my view on it. I don't need a moment of silence to remember the people who died.

[PopeAK49]

Na I understand what your saying. I mean hell we have memorial day to remember them by which falls on the same week as 9-11. Pretty cool how they are building a memorial site in the spot of one of the fallen buildings.

[cheezdue]

History channel are showing some very shocking videos of the tower falling right now...

[Daishi]

I'm no longer shocked when I see the towers fall. The discovery channel ran so many shows on the towers in '02 that I think I've probably seen every publicly available viewpoint out there.

[Alwin Roth]

My birthday party was on that day when it happened,
Parents called and said if we could post-pone it,
so no-one came...

[Snowy]

Yeah, I watched that. It's chilling.

[chrisk123999]

I was about 50 miles away or so from it when it happened.

[Daishi]

I was 1700 miles away, and had no clue what those towers on the TV were. Until I came home...when my parents informed me of what happened, and after that I was glued to the daily news of what was happening.

[Siliconmaster]

RIP everyone. I remember the day- 6th grade, an assembly was called, and all us 6th graders sat there geenrally confused that something like that could happen on a normal September day. I also remember my mom getting angry at the news for labeling it "9/11", like it were some sort of catch phrase. Now it's synonymous with the event, but at the time it seemed like shameless stylizing.

[Heathen]

I have no idea what this thread is about.

Same. I was just finding out after reading ahead.

[flibitijibibo]

This feels kinda empty without Dane.

I was in the 5th grade when this happened. They took us to the center of the grade... section of the building (forget what they called it), and they told us what had happened, that we were going home early, and that we should remain calm (I mean, we were 10).

My mom was late to work on 9-11. Back then, she did a lot of field stuff in D.C., and guess where she was assigned to go that day? She remembers being on the road, seeing the smoke from far away, hearing the report on the radio, and turning right the fuck around. Had she been 5 minutes earlier, she wouldn't be here today.

God knows what I would have done if I had known she was going to the Pentagon for work. I was already pretty goddamn scared about my dad, who worked/works in D.C. for the government. Yeah, that's a job you want to have during a terrorist attack.

Wow. That's scary. It's one thing to hear about it on the news and quite another to be that close to it.

[TeeKup]

Even though the day has darkened, there are still sources of light.
We must never forget the ones who've passed, but allow the pain to disappear, and for the ones that have been lost, to know that they have been found.

Thank you, all of you, for your respect.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

That, was poetry.

[Heathen]

Neither did mine.
My god, how can they not do that...its only been 8 years ago, surely they haven't moved on yet have they???

[PlasbianX]

That, was poetic.

ftfy

[Donut]

my school still celebrates V-J day
rhode island. fuck yeah.

[Cortexian]

I remember waking up, getting ready do go to school, then my dad called me over to the TV and pointed out what was happening. I shrugged and said "only in America" and left for school.

I'm so desensitized.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

When I was young, I saw this.
I never ever wanted to go on a plane again.

[Bodzilla]

my 2 cents on this is that although it was a very very tragic pointless event that happened we need to get over it.
not to forget it, but to just accept that it happened and move on, living in the past and this constant mourning holds us back, look to the future and make it bright instead of dwelling on events that we cant change.

This.
Completely.:v:
Also i notice how NO ONE remembers the other important event of that day, the plane crashing into the pentagon.

[tHaPuPpEtMaStEr]

i thought this was in 2 months?

Are you retarded?
