FIRST RULE: IF you want to say or discuss the .gov was involved Start your own thread (foxtrot edit: Actually, they better go to a new website). This is about remembering. Something no longer mentioned in most schools. Or it's a minor footnote within the education system.

Here we will remember as we (my family) always do



approx 7:30 MDT i heard the first reports.

History channel has some great shows on 9/11 today. DVR them and watch them, a lot of emotions.

Always a melancholy day for me.

While I didn't know anybody directly affected at the time, I watched the events on TV and was in shock over the tragedy that befell our nation and all the lives affected.

Here's my tribute :
Attachment 67094

Not since Kennedy was shot do people remember exactly where they were when this happened.

I recorded and watched "15 Septembers Later" last night. Powerful.

My older son (a high school senior then) and I watched the second plane hit as we were getting ready to leave the house. It was the main reason he enlisted. My phone started going nuts immediately. I got a short text at almost the same time from a good friend on NYPD-"We're at war".

We will remember.

I highly recommend a trip to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. It's one of the few reasons to travel in enemy territory.

Plan a whole day because you won't be right until dinner.

I remember where I was

The National Geographic Channel also has some excellent segments airing today. Meanwhile, Vice (formerly H2) has "Gaycation" and "Weediquette".

Not only do I remember where I was, I remember the feelings. I will never understand how anyone that was old enough to understand what was going on at the time could ever forget.
