I hate how it feels like everyone has forgotten or doesn't care about this date anymore. Yeah, I know it was six years ago now, but I think all the innocent people who died on 9/11 deserve to have this day remembered. So I wanted to open it up for discussion. Where were you when you first found out? Do you know anyone who was directly effected? I was in my eighth grade math class when my teacher told us what happened. Someone had told her that the trade towers had been bombed. She tried to turn on the TV but it wouldn't work so she decided to just go on with class as usual. My next couple of classes went on like normal too and I was going nuts. I'll I knew about it was what I had over heard in the halls. People were saying that planes had actually crashed into the towers and the pentagon. They had the TVs on in the lunch room, but it was too loud to here what was being said. Finally, my history teacher let us just sit and watch the news the entire period. I remember crying as I watched the recordings of people falling from the upper floors of the buildings. I didn't know anyone who lost a loved one, but I definitely know I'll never forget. image found here

I served for a year under the US Army flag.
Sorry guys. As bad as this sounds- i don't have any more to talk over as far as 9/11 goes.
I can't say i believe the conspiracy theroies but it does smell like a set up too me.
Because of 9/11 I have seen more than 100 people pack there green duffle bags, assemble outside one day in an unceremonious send off too Iraq.
I still have my friends over there, and I'm not going to cry over this until they come home.
If anything- it's now about the men and women who serve.
I don't like the fact they call 9/11 an anniversery. That is something to celebrate. I don't see 9/11 as that.
I have probably made people mad with this post but... it's just my feelings. Sorry.
I think i'm entitled to them.

I remember when I heard what happened. The news came early in the morning for me, right before I headed off to school. I cried for hours.
The sad thing is that people seem to see only with their hate for our president, and can't percieve what truely happened. All these conspiracy theories are lies that the media are spreading to "prove" their political point. In fact, this morning, when the pledge of alligiance was said over the morning announcments, three people sat with their backs to the flag and talked, and one of them even had the nerve to cackle. All in all, only one person besides me said the pledge. They don't even care about all the people who died. All they want is to take over us. I say, let them go to the country they love, and when they're slaughtered for their disbelief in Islam, their ghosts can come crawling back finaly proclaiming the truth: that terrorists exist, that they killed hundreds, no thousands of people for thier "holy" beliefs, and that they must be stopped. Remember them, people. See the truth, or else it will happen again.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, guys.
I can totally understand you feelings, shadow, even if I don't share all of them. And I don't think very many people read this thread to begin with, so I don't think you really upset anyone.
Nidhogg, I'd want to scream at them. me being me I never would, but man. . . If you don't say it at the very lease respect it! People died so that they could sit there and laugh in their faces. . . That's horrible.

I was at school my junior year of high school and was taking the Istep YUCK I hated that test and the grief it gave me. Sorry wrong subject. I didn't find out until after I went to my third period class. I remember going down the hallway it was irry quiet. I was so mad at the school for not telling us soon and we found out we were on lock down man. It was a sad sight to see we watched in my Eng 11 class the next four days. Boy I was going crazy and every thing well not really because I didn't exactly know how to feel about it. I couldn't even cry I felt so I don't know. Anyways I will never forget that day because exactly six months later my mom died from a heart attack and an anerisim (I don't know how to spell it so sue me)Sorry I will never forget that day ever never ever. My only question is are we really doing any good in Iraq?

I'm not saying i dont sympathize with the people who lost loved ones any more. I will always be saddened over this horrible act of a person whose blantantly given there soul to satan. (I dont care what so called god he claimes to worship).
But right now- the US goverment has done a great job at taking people away from what happend.
Yeah... Bush has said a lot over the past few days. All of this has simply been for political gain.
Elections any one?
I don't know if this is true but isnt it strange that this close to the end of his presidency things are coming to an end?
Its like a badly written book.

I was in elementary school somewhere. All I know, is that everyone was running around going crazy and my Mom's friend Bell came to pick us up from school in her pajamas. I walked into my house and saw a huge flaming ball of fire on the TV. My Mom was crying. A week later, we got a small package in the mail. My Mom's friend Ben was a building contractor and had been checking out the structural damage on the nearby buildings. In the package, was a brick from one of the towers that had flown through a brick wall of a nearby building, and my Ben had retrieved it later.
Later on in life, my Mom told me about how she had been watching the TV, and seen Ben on top of a nearby building at the same time she had been talking to him on a cell phone or something. She had been worried the building would fall like another had done earlier. But he had jumped up and down on the building, while telling her that there wasn't a chance it would fall.
I also remember that the next year at school, at the time that the planes had hit, we had a whole ten minutes of complete silent in which the principal told us we could pray if we so did wish.
So my mother actually has a piece of the world trade centers.
