It's 9/11...Remember.

I thought it was weird that I haven't seen a lot of mention about remembering it this year

 

[Merlin]

Thanks for putting that up @Loyal. Every year I feel this one. One of those moments you just don't forget.

 

[EasyE]

most of the NFL players don't really remember it....

It was the last time in my memory, when all poitical sides unified and it may be the last time we ever do that again. Time will tell.

Flight 93 went down about 60 minutes from my home. True heroes that probably saves countless lives.

Yes, I visited the site a few years later when there was a mobile home center and little else as far as a Memorial....Those people were amazing.

I'll never forget. Ever. I may have been young at the time, but this is a day that will forever live in infamy.

So this year I will finally say it. It was personally a hard time, and to this day the events have affect to me. No I wasn't anywhere near NY when it happened.

That same week, I was asked where I was from and to go back to my country. In the years since, I've been asked "what's it like living in the desert", my religion, if I was born in this country, etc. How am I supposed to respond to anything without throwing another group of people under the bus? The thought of "oh shit I hope they don't pull me aside" in airports goes through my head every time. It shouldn't have to, but it does.

And I'm lucky that's the extent of what I experienced. Other brown people have gotten much more verbal and physical abuse, sometimes fatal. So it's a little difficult to understand being "united" when an entire sector of American citizens were shunned based off a few evil people whose images were shown all over tv.

I was freaked out that day, and as a 7th grader didn't understand the things that were said at me at the time. I've been to the memorial, countless people of ALL communities suffered.

Let's just be "truly" united. That's all I'm saying.

I'm twenty-nine, and I can remember every detail of the day.

Some do, some don't.
Many kids 10 and under, only know what they are told by others.

You're a very aware and empathetic individual Memento. Everybody digs you

Couldn't say it any better myself, Angry. I'm sorry for what you went through; it's undeserving to a good person like yourself, especially when you were so young.

Mayor DeBlasio cancelled a reading of the victims names, if I remember correctly. He shut down 9/11 observances, but then allowed other demonstrations. He's a true POS.

Who can ever forget???

All I can post is R.I.P to the innocents that were killed and wish more would have been done for the Survivor's.

what about these poor suckers? sent into a contaminated site with no protection whatsoever because the people in power wanted to get rid of the evidence quickly.

[thirteen28]

NBA players still kneeled tonight. On the 9/11 anniversary.

Fuck them, forever.

why the chill @1maGoh ? don't those people's live matter?

[ProGen]

A truly harrowing day that will live in my memory forever.

Cut the bullshit.

Your implication that 9/11 needed evidence covered up, in my opinion, attempts to take this thread to a place that it shouldn't go. Take your conspiracy theory outrage somewhere else and let the people who are here to mourn and discuss a tragedy do that.
