MSNBC has coverage of the events of September 11, 2001 as they unfolded live on NBC that terrible and tragic Tuesday morning. Not that anyone needs to be reminded, but it sure does make you reflect for that moment on what happened that morning.

God bless America. :salute:

I remember watching the news that morning. Seeing the first tower burning, then seeing the 2nd plane come in. I kept waiting for the word that this was a bad movie --- but that word never came.

Then the Pentagon, and the downed plane in Pennsylvania.

Heroes, all.
 
That is a day I don't think any of us will ever forget.

I was at work when a co-worker heard the news of the first plane on a little radio he kept at his desk. He turned on a little tv he kept under his desk and saw the news footage. He told me about it and of course, we thought it was just a horrible accident that the plane hit the tower. A little while later when the other one hit it was obvious that neither one was an accident. Within a few minutes our business died as most of our clients quit calling and just stared at their tv's. Most of us ended up going home early to be with our families. I remember mowing my lawn that afternoon and being in almost a trance.
 
I started a thread in the sports and entertainment section about your favorite 9-11 inspired songs. Feel free to add any to the list.

U.S. troops in Afghanistan use a formation to spell out a 9-11 message. The photo was taken from the personal Web site of Spc. Scott McIntyre, 21, a Greene County soldier currently serving in Afghanistan. McIntyre’s message is appropriate for Sept. 11, a date that has come to be observed as Patriot’s Day in recognition of the 2001 terrorist attacks. A nationwide “Fly the Flag” campaign is encouraging the display of the American flag today.
 
As we pause today to remember the fallen, let us also remember the brave who still serve. Let us also remember the first responders who ran towards the towers as frightened people ran from them. One of those was my cousin, a police officer from NYPD. This coming Saturday would have been her 35th birthday. :salute::salute::salute::salute::salute:

Amen to that NW

Our troops who fight for our freedom every day of their lives are owed a tremendous debt of gratitude. Those, like my nephew, who are in military intelligence spend every working day trying to prevent another attack like what happened that day.

There were so many heroes that day and in the days that followed it is hard to remember them all. From the emergency workers who risked (and those who lost) their lives trying to save anyone they could, to those who spent days sifting throught the rubble hoping to find just one more survivor, to the ones who handled the tasks of informing and comforting those who lost loved ones in the attack. From the nieghbors who supported those families to the ones who gave blood to help the injured recover. Then there are those who were aboard Flight 93 who took the plane down to prevent any more innocent victims. These are real american heroes who's sacrifice needs to be remembered on this date.:salute:
