9/11 - 10 years later

[ScoutB]

I was watching some of the tribute stuff this morning and it got me all choked up again. What an absolute tragedy with all of the innocent lives ended and kids now growing up having never known their father. My kids were 9 and 10 then and I talk to them about that day any chance I get so that they will always remember too.
There was all of the usual coverage of the FDNY guys that died, the airplane passengers, and the office workers at WTC and the pentagon. Maybe I missed it but I saw no mention of the service members that have been killed or injured in the 10 years since but they deserve the tribute as well.
I will never forget that day and I hope you all will keep the memory alive too. Pass it on to your kids, this is way too important to be forgotten as the years pass by.

What really got me Scout is seeing numerous people jumping out of the towers to free themselves of the hell they were enduring in that building. Compelling footage that reminds you of the uncertainty we all felt that day. I heard on the coverage that there were over 100 kids that were born after 9/11 and will never get to know their father.

The people jumping was the worst memory for me also. Now I must think- The buildings were that tall, had that many people in them and there was no possible way to save them. With that said, why in the hell is the "freedom tower" being built taller? Put terrorist attack aside, just an electrical fire in the middle of the building and this could happen all over again. Won't see me going in a skyscraper.

Did you hear about this?............ The 3 main tv networks agreed to break in on normal programming at 8:46 am (I believe that is the exact time the first plane hit?) to show live feeds of memorials and have a 1 minute moment of silence. Well, NBC lied and decided it was more important to continue with thier live interview with Kris Jenner aka Kim Kardashian's Mom.
And Scout, are you surprised there was no mention of soldiers? Election year for the Messiah, my friend.

I didn't hear about that but nothing surprises me any more.
