This year will mark the ninth anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001. That terrible Tuesday morning will be etched in my memory for as long as I live. It was on that day that 19 terrorists hijacked 4 commercial jet airliners on a suicide mission that took the lives of almost 3,000 innocent people at the World Trade Center, Pentagon and a lone field in Shanksville, PA. Please share your most poignant memory of that day... It may be 9 years but the shock, grief and anger that Al Qaeda could have succeeded in murdering so many Americans is something I still feel as if it was just yesterday.

+15Just shear disbelief! I could not imagine what the people in those towers and their loved ones were going through while they waited to be rescued. Watching the towers collapse and knowing how many lives were lost in that very moment made me sick! I wanted revenge for what happened that fateful day, the anger I had was incredible, and even though it has faded, I still want the ones responsible dead or brought to justice and then executed!
My understanding is that she took a job at the top of one of the buildings. She had only been working there for a few months.
That was our shining moment....and I weep to see what we've become. Suddenly we are not united...and it does make a difference what color you are...and what church you belong to...and what book you read.
We've sullied the memories of those innocents who died on that horrible day.
After that moment I went back inside and continued to watch the coverage for the rest of that evening and as much as I could over the next several days... but whatever emotions I was feeling earlier had been replaced with anger.
It was horrible!
The most powerful country in the world cannot find one man. This is BS and Everyone knows it.
Time to bring in the moabs into afganistan!
Its time to clean out congress and the house and senate....Its time for justice.
