Remembering September 11th, 2001





.






For the WTC Jumpers

He came back,
This time for me.
On the 110th floor I was so close to God
I could almost grab his beard.
Never before has heaven been this close to hell.
I can feel its fire on the floors below
Raising ash and paper and smoke
Thick as Satan’s laughter.
At the window, shattered,
I look for salvation and he tempts me,
Dares me to jump,
Whispering a psalm in my ear
He spits as he speaks:
“He will bid his angels watch over you.
With their hands they will support you.”
I mumble “Amen,”
Close my eyes and sense the rush of air.
I cannot breathe until I finally feel
Those hands of angels
Hard as cement against my face.

Those delivering death and destruction, the terrorists



“I don’t think you can overstate the importance
that the rise of Islamic fundamentalism
will have to the rest of the world in the
century ahead-especially if, as seems possible,
its most fanatical elements get their
hands on nuclear and chemical weapons
and the means to deliver them
against their enemies.” –Ronald Reagan

Eden says:

The symbolism and resolve Americans developed as a result of these tragedies, the most important historical event of our time, is more relevant with every passing day in the fight against Radical Islam.
I hope people realize the bigger picture as they reflect on this today.
God Bless America
We’ll never forget the sacrificed on 9/11.

Cheryl Zee says:

GOD BLESS THE HEROES AND THOSE THAT FOUGHT THE HARD FIGHT ON FLIGHT 93. I CAN HARDLY BARE TO THINK OF THE DESTRUCTION AND TERROR THEOSE MUSLIM POS DID TO OUR COUNTRY! I STILL THINK THEY ALL NEED TO BE TROWN OUT OF AMERICA AND I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY HOMELAND SECURITY- REFUSES TO SECURE OUR HOMELAND-!! I GUESS THEY JUST TOO OVERWHELMED AND ARE WAITING FOR THE OTHER SHOE TO DROP! MY GOD THEY CAN’T EVEN HELP PEOPLE IN A HURRICANE!! AND THEY CAN’T OR WON’T SECURE OUR BORDERS!! THEY COULD HOWEVER GO PICK UP THESE COMPOUNDS FULL OF ISLAMIC TERRORISTS AND SHIP THEIR HAPPY ASSES OUT HERE- THEY COULD GET 75% OF THEM JUST GOING TO THE CONVIENCE STORES AND THE DOLLAR STORES-!! I THINK THIS WAS ONE MISTAKE THE GOVERNMENT DID MAKE!! GOD BLESS AMERICA AND I PRAY HE BRINGS BACK AMERICAS GREATNESS FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS GREAT LAND!!! WHICH THE FIRST STEP WOULD BE MAKING SURE THAT MUSLIM OBAMA NEVER MAKES PRESIDENT! WHAT A JOKE!! THAT IS ALL WE NEED – THAT F-ING IDIOT DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY FROM WITHIN!!

Bob says:

Eden I could not agree with you more. What we see going on in the middle east has started in Europe and is creeping more and more into this country. Unfortunately the liberals and pacifists believe pandering to these people and appeasing their stone age demands is the correct thing to do. You can’t negotiate or believe you can get along with a cult that seeks your destruction at all cost.
Yes, God Bless America.

TomR says:

I think of September 11, 2001 every day. Like Cheryl, I think we have made costly mistakes by not initiating programs to discourage muslims from being in America. An armed American populace may have to do this work eventually.
I am very angry that Ground Zero is still a hole in the ground. Those Twin Towers should have been rebuilt, as the battleships were raised and rebuilt at Pearl Harbor.
Yes, I am glad we have taken part of the war to the MidEast. I am glad American military power is prevailing. I am not as sure of the “democratic” nation building effort there, but I may be wrong. The success of the democracy effort may be as effective for the future as my idea of a few tactical nukes on selected islamic targets(Saudi palaces for one). This all remains to be seen and I support the effort now underway.
I wish the MSM and the government would give us the same 9-11 coverage and mention as Hollywood personalities and their shenanigans get. 9-11 has become one of the most important dates in American history, second only to July 4, 1776. We need to remember September 11 every day of every year.
May the souls of the victims of September 11 and the souls of all Americans killed while fighting the war against radical islam rest in peace.

Odin says:

I am appalled at how short a memory many Americans have. After 9/11/2001 America was 90% unitied. Even the invasion of Iraq saw 75% united opinion. The resolve of some people slips away day by day, unable to remember past the daily barage of the leftist lies. God bless those who remember and keep up the resolve to remain free. I pray for those who forget.

Mark says:

This is why a democrat can never become president. We got into this mess because of Bill Clinton and his left-wing nut case administration.
You can’t talk to these people the only thing they undrestand is violence, force and death. President Bush has done yoemans work in preventing another attack now the torch must be passed on to keep us safe from these evil bastards that would do our country harm.
If obama was president in 2001 the first thing he would have done is wet his pants then hide. We don’t need that kind of leadership where the president is blaming his own country for an attack that killed thousands of innocent people just because they are Americans.
The democrats haven’t offered a decent candidate for the office in 40 years. HHH was no prize but a damn sight better than anyone since.

chrys says:

Thanks for all of the work you put into this post!

Les says:

I live in Jersey City just across from the WTC site and would see the Twin Towers almost every day in my daily routine. I miss the towers and grieve for all those who have lost their lives, were injured, and for their families who are still suffering with pain. What disturbs me even more are those people who just don’t get it on what happened that day.
Barack Hussein Obama is one of them as documented in the article below. The second article is scary on it’s own and includes many countries that Obama wants to listen to and appease because it is all America’s fault.
Obama: Terror groups have ‘legitimate claims’
Asserts U.S. needs foreign policy that ‘looks at the root causes of problems’
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=74702
Obama’s comments about “legitimate causes” of terror groups and “root problems of causes and dangers” seems to echo little-noticed remarks the presidential candidate made eight days after 9/11 in which he said the attacks were carried out because of a lack of “empathy” for others’ suffering on the part of al-Qaida, whose terrorist ideology “grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair.”
No consensus on who was behind Sept 11 – global poll

Wild Thing says:

Eden, well said thank you.
I hope so too.
“I hope people realize the bigger picture as they reflect on this today”

Wild Thing says:

Cheryl, DITTO.
We have a chance now, God has smiled at our country and given us the gift of Sarah Palin. We just need to pray for her and for John, for their safety and that we do win in Nov. Win like we did when Reagan ran so there are no counting chads and all the other stupid stuff dems pull off.

Wild Thing says:

Bob……exactly!!!!
“You can’t negotiate or believe you can get along with a cult that seeks your destruction at all cost.”

Wild Thing says:

Tom I agree so much. I think of it every day and am so grateful we fought back.
“We need to remember September 11 every day of every year.”

Wild Thing says:

Odin, yesss well said and I agree.
“God bless those who remember and keep up the resolve to remain free.”

Wild Thing says:

Mark, a HUGE yessss that is exactly how this all came about.
“This is why a democrat can never become president. We got into this mess because of Bill Clinton and his left-wing nut case administration.”

Wild Thing says:

Hi Chrys good to see you. Thank you so much.

Wild Thing says:

Les, thank you for the links and the information.
That is really something that you can see across like that. Thank you for sharing about that too.
