It does, Grizz. I certainly feel solemnly today. I remember the second 757 flew over the job site, I remarked to the guys something was wrong. They didn't believe me. Then the home owner came outside and told us what had happened. On the drive home there was a spot where people were pulled over looking east where you could see the smoke. The world changed that day in 2001. I know ill never forget it. Just 10 days after Dads birthday. On that fateful day, Dad was airborne with 2 people on a charter flight. He took off about 10 minutes before the 1st tower was hit.. Over Virginia and all of a sudden he had an F16 along side. The pilot gesturing to put it on the ground. I've thought about him a lot today too.

Lest we forget.
I will always remember exactly where I was and what I was doing that awful day.
If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.

Pepperdine University on Pacific Coast Highway. They do this every year. This particular shot is from 2008. I wonder now that this child is around 12 or 13 if he understands just what happened on that day and how it changed not just our world, but the entire world.

I first heard it after I dropped the kid off at school. Thought it was a sick joke by the DJ and not funny at all. Got home and turned on the TV and was speechless, then angry at whoever did this.

Too bad the progressive liberal Democrats so quickly forgot the unity felt when on at least that one day, they realized that the U.S.A. is an awesome place to live, and a nation to be proud of, and defend.

Each year I worry a bit less about an 'aftershock' attack to intimidate us on the anniversary, but I still usually keep a bit of extra kit with me that day.

Sadly, we get all patriotic and 'unite' against foreign terrorists, yet the REAL danger is from within, and consists of spoiled white college kids, their socialist professors, 'union guys' who put paycheck and benefits before national stability, CEO's of 'nonprofits' sucking at the taxpayer teat, and all the other 'progressssive' liberal Democrats - who are even now destroying our nation as we watch, and planning the final nail in the coffin via election fraud within the next two months. :evil:

Do you think Ilhan Omar and her family open presents the night before, or wait until the morning of the 11th?

This is the oath that I and likely many of you took. Some of the same language is in every elected officials oath. Too bad they just mouth the words and have no intention of upholding their oaths.

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

An oath doesn't end just because you term of enlistment has. An oath is a life long commitment.

As with all American historic days we fly the flag for 9/11. But we'll be flying the flag again today to commemorate another American bombing tragedy that is pretty significant, as it's the 100th anniversary of the first terrorist attack on US soil.
On Sept. 12th 1920 a man drove a horse drawn cart up in front of the JP Morgan building in the middle of Wall Street and quickly walked away. Moments later the cart exploded killing 20 people, and injuring another 300 people.
Nobody was ever caught for this terrorist act, but Socialist radicals were suspected in doing it. The attack on Wall Street was planned to kill many important and wealthy individuals, and set to go off at lunch time. Some of those it was aimed at were gone from Wall Street during lunch time, and many killed and wounded were average workers on their lunch breaks. As usual the cowards didn't care who they really harmed or killed.
