Patriot's Day greetings to all. I was getting ready to go to a CPL/CCW class when I heard about the attacks on the radio. It seemed so unreal like War of the Worlds. It was just so hard to believe it.

It seems to me that a lot of folks want to put it behind them as you just don't hear much about 9/11 these days. I for one will never forget.

 God Bless America

I can't ignore those who sacrificed in rural PA and at the Pentagon, but for me, this picture says it all, and says it better than I ever could.

Great photo.
One of my favorite, all time photos is a picture of my wife leaning against a railing in Jersey with the twin towers across the river behind her. We took a trip to Ellis Island and I couldn't pass up the photo. I'm so glad we captured it.

I believe in honoring our lost and the heros that did what they could do, but I have a little bit of difficulty with a "9/11 Day" because even though we celebrate the memories of those lost and the heros, we're also marking a day when we got sucker punched. Too bad we don't have a "Blew up Bin Laden" day.

jay, Thanks for the post!!
I will never forget that day. Had to listen to hit happen on the radio at work and feeling the shock of it all. But seeing it on tv when I got home was even worse. So many feelings.

Being sucker punched is a good way to put it.

There was a victory that tragic day, and it ended in a small field in Pa. The heroes in true American fashion, let the terrorist's know on Flight 93, they lost.

A day we will all remember where we were, when it started.

God Bless America.

I work from home and that day I had the TV on.  My business partner and I looked up and saw the first tower smoking and turned it up.  We were watching as the second one hit and I knew that we had been attacked.

Then the news of the Pentagon and flight 93 came in. 

I cannot describe the RAGE I felt.  My beloved country was under attack and I was powerless to help.  I hit my kness as the least I could do was pray.

I had just left Active Duty in MD and was an unemployed war fighter with an Emergency Medical, LE and Intel background.  I have never felt so useless.  My friends were headed downrange for the fight we had been training for and I was sitting on the couch watching it on TV.  My wife was still AD and headed for work only to be turned around at the gate for a couple days.

I have said many times that if we had been as patriotic as we were Sep 12th on Sep 10th, Sep 11th would have never happened.  Now people HAVE forgotten what it felt like and actually get upset when it is mentioned.  How sad.
