If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again with just my children and my wife
I'd thank my lucky stars to be living here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away

And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I'll gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt, I love this land
God bless the USA

Enough said. God bless.

Amen to that Orig! Those who perished will never be forgotten. I live in NY and was in the city when it happened... This is one of those days I will never forget!

Yes that is a wonderful song. Whenever Lee Greenwood sings it, tears come to my eyes. Saw Ray Charles singing "America" this morning on tv, which was also very stirring.

I Agree to Orig Totaly ....

I am very Proud to be an American and have always been very Patriotic, even when it was not cool to be.....

God Bless America

I pray for all the Families of the Victims of this very sad day, and wish the world would find a way to make peace......

Hi Orig

Glad to see you've got the Flag flying right where it should be... at the top. Don't be afraid to put it up there by reducing it's opacity though. Display it proudly, others have died for it. Bring it up to it's full color glory... and BE PROUD (especially today)!

Never forget

I agree. I would rather see "Old Glory" in all her splendor than so translucent. At least for this day.

God Bless America!!!

I for one am still waiting to be called to go to WAR. If that time comes I will gladdy defend our Country. I would rather kick some ass then be setting in a damn class room learning about how to write a damn essay.

Death is only the beginning, not the end.

I pray for all the Victims, their family's, and their friends.

God Bless You All

I hope to be one of the AMERICANS who kicks Osma Bin Laden's fucking ass. He is a coward who hides in caves and talks shit. I swear to GOD if this ever happens again, I will kill him myself. I will end my life as I know it just to hunt his ass down. Then I will send him to his grave.

Well I believe that will never happen because we will get him long before then and he will be dead.

Some think he would strike out at us again today. I fucking dear him. Cause if he does I swear I will kill him or die trying. Plus, I don't think he would do it again on the same day. But you never know. We are on the highest alert ever. Even the 5th fleet of our Navy is at DELTA, which is the highest level of alert. It would be fucking stupid to try and take them out. The only way I believe he could do any more damage to our Navy is do use a bomb, a nuke, or a Nuclear SubMarine in which I doubt he has. I do believe he is working to get Nukes just like that damn Iraqi leader. It's about time we take him out as well. We have wait to long. The longer we wait the greater the threat will be. The enemy gets stronger and stronger everyday just like we do. If you think he is not a threat then you are fucking stupid. You won't be saying that when 3/4 of your family is dead from a nuclear WAR.

Sad world we are living in. People who are filled with hate make it that way. I forgive everyone, some day. I even forgive the hijackers. Even Osman Bin Laden himself. That does not mean I won't kill him though. I'm not the one to decide that though. That's up to GOD. GOD is also the Judge not me. I don't know anything about them and neither do you. You can't possibly understand them. You may think you do, but you never really can. Unless of course you can read their mind and know their every thoughts, which is implausible. Maybe not impossible, but very much implausible. hehe Those aliens can be quit frightening some times.

FUCK ALL THOSE BASTARDS

Take Care My Fellow Americans,
God Bless You All

This is where I started my adulthood,on the 1st of June, 1968. It is the toughest thing that could ever come into your young life. Click on recruiting. You wont even have far to travel. To this day, it was my greatest adventure. There is also a bootcamp in San Diego Ca. Go for it. I wish you well.

Wow.... its sad that the evil in the world can bring out such emotion and hatred.

ATM I am somewhat embarrased to be a Canadian. Our Prime Minister is a quack, and could not make an informed decision on assistance to our fellow americans.

I dont like living with unknown evil variables. I have children who no nothing other than some bearded asshole wants us all dead. When we decided to have kids, we never thought the day would come when attacks on our own continent would occur.

Osama needs to be taken out - and if his people cant conform then them too.

I completely agree with you Norm, and Will, good luck.

my thoughts go out to all those who suffered in this tragedy.

Hi Sephiroth,

Then honor your feelings and fix that 'blue-covered' Flag at the top! It almost looks like it's partially hidden (and we NEVER hide our Flag). You're the web designer here so I'm sure you can fix it.

Thank you,

PS Zonko... Tell war59312 about the sand flea pits on P.I. ;).

I agree with Norm on that.. Canadians have it somewhat easy. However, if you personally can't do anything about 9/11, then by all means at least do one great deed today.

I love North America, born and rised in Canada. We all felt the shock of what happened. Some more then others. I did not have a loved one in those towers.

And your right.. Like the holocaust, I will never understand what it is like. Life being a living hell.

I was asked if I could comprehend what happened @ Auschwitz. I quickly replied that I could not.. Then she showed me her mark.. the "bar code" tatoo on her arm.

I don't want to steal any thunder from todays events.. I wanted to give in some of my thoughts about this wonderful day.. Huh?? The Day of Life & Love. :)

Regards.

Done :)

also don't forget this, even though he doesn't post here, most of the old timers here and a lot of other people as well know AngelDeath, and he put this tribute together last year for 9/11 and I've watched it a few times today myself...

Hey,
Yea I know I've been there about 18 times. :P

I wish AD would come in here, even just for a day and speak. I miss his ruthless way of telling the truth.

And God Bless America.

Never Forget This Day, September 11, 2001!

I can't for even today was my wifes birthday

Those of us who have "been there, done that" will never forget nor will we ever forgive! OBL, your time will come!

Semper Fi!

My prayers are all with you.. God Bless America....

Well I already forgive them all. I'm not going to live my life full of hate. Again that doesn't mean I won't kill them though. I do hate them don't get me wrong, but I'm not going to live my life like they want me to. They want you to live with your heart full of hate just like them. They what you to be consumed by it. Forgiving is very hard, but it's a very good thing.

I'm not a cristian or anything. Shit I have not been to Church in years.

However I do believe GOD is the judge not us humans. If GOD wants him dead then he will die. I just hope he wants him dead soon. :) That would be nice to wake up in the moring and hear that us Americans have his head. That would be sweet. I would probally go crazy for the day. lol

oh fuck its your life so i'm not going to tell you how to live it or anything

take care m8,
will

ps: yea his time will come just like everyone else

I think you are just a little off in your interpretation of my statement.

Forgive:to cease to feel resentment against (an offender) : PARDON <forgive one's enemies>

Hate:intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger, or sense of injury b : extreme dislike or antipathy : LOATHING <had a great hate of hard work>
2 : an object of hatred

I will never fogive the acts of any terrorist, in particular those of 9/11. Terrorist are cowards who hide behind innocent people, desire to impose their beliefs upon others by violent force.

I spent 8 years in the Marine Corps, which included time in Vietnam. Hate has no place in this war against terror, it clouds your judgement, it is an emotion. I have no hate those these people, but I will never forgive them for taking of 3,000 innocent lives.

Period.

BTW It is up to God/Allah to judge him, it's our job to arrange the meeting!

hi everyone,
understand how everyone feels on that fateful day.
it was a shocked to everyone who knew AMERICA, not just Americans.

it also pains the heart of those who saw the full news coverage on their TVs screens.

but lets look on the brighter side, maybe god just want to be with them earlier...

i believe that the whole world will cry for them for those who have left earlier to rejoice with GOD earlier...

BLESS EVERYONE...
