World Trade Center-Plane Crash

yeah right
Probably not old enough to remember a day when one could go about without an identification card, nor a Social Security card, nor a Driver License, but eventually you will present your papers and like it, like a good little American.

Have you ever met a guy named HardKoreBlowJob?

Just curious.
 
When I think about 9/11 now, more and more of my sadness extends not just to the victims, but to the entire nation. I look at the state of the country now, I see the dangerous road we're traveling and I know - they won.
 
for this lonesome day...

:rose:
Baby once I thought I knew
Everything I needed to know about you
Your sweet whisper, your tender touch
I didn’t really know that much
Joke’s on me, it’s gonna be okay
If I can just get through this lonesome day
Lonesome day

Hell’s brewing, dark sun’s on the rise
This storm will blow through, by and by
House is on fire, vipers in the grass
Little revenge and this too shall pass
This too shall pass, darling
Yeah I’m gonna pray
Right now, all I got’s this lonesome day
Lonesome day

It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, yeah
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, yeah
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, yeah
It’s alright, it’s alright

Better ask questions before you shoot
Deceit and betrayal’s a bitter fruit
It’s hard to swallow come time to pay
That taste on your tongue don’t easily slip away
Thy kingdom come, I’m gonna find my way
Yeah, through this lonesome day
Lonesome day
Lonesome day
Lonesome day

It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, yeah
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, yeah
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, yeah
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, yeah
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, yeah
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, yeah

Lonesome day
Lonesome day
Lonesome day
 
You Forgotten

I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
Now they say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start your preaching let me ask you this my friend

Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
Well after 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right

Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

Now I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
Just what they're fightin' for

Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Some went down like heros in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
And all the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

my thoughts are with those who lost loved ones 4 years ago today.
i'll always remember seeing it live on the news...it's an image burned into my memory.

the world hasn't forgotten :rose:
 
i know its important.. everyone focuses on the WTC.. and its understandable cuz it was HUGE.. it just seems that sometimes ppl forget that there were ppl who died in the pentagon too.. my dad would of been one of them if he hadn't had a meeting on a different side.

I remember how hard i cried and wouldn't let him go when he came to pick me up at a friend's house.
 
Lots of other threads on 9/11 this year, but I'm bumping this one again anyway.
 
I was just getting ready to do it, but you beat me.

Darn... missed it by 'thatmuch' :)
 
And today we commemorate the fourth anniversary of this disaster with a government sponsored Clint Black "I Raq and I Roll" concert on the mall in Washington.
 
This thread always puts me in tears...

I joined Lit orginally in August of 2000. Of course, I've had a few name changes since and so forth but I do recall the boards and the our pour from all the members. It was a difficult day for us all, yet we came together.

I'm going to work. A few hours late, but I'm going. Take care, everyone. I have no doubt you will be here tonight when I return. God only knows if we will be at full war by then, or what the world will be like. The only thing I know for sure is that I feel my life has changed today.
I felt compelled by this post. We are at war now for this very crime and I know my life has changed drastically since then. I hold all my loved ones close to me because I know life can change in a heartbeat because of any disaster that can occur whether it be natural, accidental or with malicious intent.

Cheyenne said:
I searched for this thread to be able to reply to a thread by floridaguy64 regarding the 6 month anniversary of September 11th. As I started to reread it though, it struck me that this thread also is a fitting reply to several other threads on the board right now about cliques, communities, etc. Look at the variety of posters in this thread, all united by a disaster. When push came to shove, we were all very much alike. Who made which list on September 10th didn't matter a bit, once September 11th got here.

I hope we don't need things like September 11th in our lives periodically to remind us that we're all in this together.
I remember being horrified for Sparky and other New York based members. I know I came back to the boards just to read and survey to make sure the safety of so many. Very well, said. Cheyenne has to be one of the most quotable Litzens.

Today, I reflect. My emotions are very raw today. Perhaps it is because of the tradgic things that have happen because of Katrina and how it has effected the communities here in Oklahoma. We are housing and welcoming so many that has been displaced by this hurricane.

It is a day that will never be forgotten. My heart goes out to all the people that lost loved ones and continue to suffer. :heart:

He's got a mole on his left hand.
If you've seen him

She's wearing a yellow dress,
a tattoo on her shoulder says baby I am the best.

Have you seen her?
Have you seen him?
He's wearing a wedding band
and the words on the inscription:
May 12, 2000, forever, Ann.

Have you seen him?
Have you seen her?
He was on the 100th floor.
She's my mother,
He's my brother.
She called me at 9:04,
from the stairway,
from the hallway,
from her cell phone,
from the roof.
If you've seen him
won't you tell her
Please
We love her so.

Have you seen them?
Have you seen them?
Walking in the by-and-by.
From the rubble
through all the trouble,
into the beautiful blue sky.
