9/11 was tragic but whats more tragic is that many have let go of their anger towards this attack. The rage should still be alive.

What an eerie read this thread is. Seeing the posts and noting the time on each I couldn't help but time the death of a friend that didn't make it out of Tower 2. Each anniversary has been tough but this thread made so much come back.

I remember the unity we had in this country back then and I wonder if we will ever feel it again. If we do I pray it isn't as a result of another attack. Maybe we could work towards that unity again, maybe we can remember we are one country. Maybe.

Rest on S.R.

I started reading this. I wasn't a member of lit at the time as I was only 17 when it happened. I remember it vividly though. Reading this made me sick to my stomach. I flashed back to worrying about my aunt, uncle, and my father's former commander all in the pentagon. Remembering feeling like I was the only one in my high school pissed off and upset. How could no one else be crying? Didn't they understand what was coming?! I'm an army brat and so was one of my teachers. Just after the wall of the Pentagon fell, and I collapsed as I realized how real this was, she pulled me aside and said "I know you're mad, I'm mad as hell too."

"Why don't they understand how serious this is?! Why is no one else in that class room as furious as i am?!" I shrieked at her?

"They don't understand. They don't have family that has fought to keep this shit from happening to us. They don't realize that your father could be called back. They don't know how bad this is going to get."

I don't think I could ever thank her enough for letting me sob on her shoulder when no one else could seem to understand why I was so upset.

*shudders* I hate remembering today, but I know how important it is.

I was on active duty in the Navy in 1983. I left the Navy, having learned what I wanted, and had the opinion that if I thought the country could use me, I would enlist again. After September 11th 2001, I made the decision to find out if I could still be of use. It took a few months, but I was able to get into the Navy Reserves. I don't expect to be of use in a combat zone, but I can work in support areas if needed.

Four years later, joining the military is not looked at the same way. But other areas have come under attack since then.

This is true. I think about it almost every day and still get a pain in my stomach and get pissed off, I will be in a bad mood for the rest of the day. I lost 412 brothers that day (PD, Fire, EMS, and Military)

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.

I nearly lost my oldest bro and one uncle.

Well, Mo-fucking-hamed. You seem like a perfect candidate to be dead scum. Post your address and see how long it takes for someone to arrange that.

Huah.

We have already gotten complacent with ourselves and our apathy toward demanding true national security- in the form of profiling, border lockdown, illegal immigration crackdown and complete scrutiiny in who comes and goes into this country----and yet here we are with our collective head up our own ass. It's damn disgraceful.

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 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.

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.

Thank you.

Who were you again back in 2001?

What the hell are you doing? You were supposed to leave lit in a big hissy fit, now you are back?
What a yellow cunt!

Re-kindles the shock of the attacks reading through the first few pages. The misinformation and speculation, the rumors, but the overwhelming unity expressed by all.

It's 9/11 in NYC.

The fifth anniversary.

We still remember.
