9/11/2001 is a date which will also live in infamy in our history. Many people have already forgotten who did this to us and why.
I have been a volunteer firefighter for 36 years, and I watched that day as 343 of my fellow firefighters, as well as thousands of other innocent people, died just because they were Americans living in a free nation. Jesus taught that we must turn the other cheek and forgive, but I'm not sure how to forgive people who live and thrive on pure hatred of freedom and Christianity.
God bless the United States of America.

Thanks pettycash. And you picked the perfect picture.

Believe me, here in the NYC area, people are not forgetting.
And flags are flying today all around my neighborhood.

Revilo, what memorial is that plaque from? It's beautiful
