    To hell with game plans, the rehiring of the let Go's or brought backs, coaches unpreferred, differing opinions on foot ball personnel and or what we'd preferably see or been done!

    9-11, 2001 and its remembrance, takes precedence today ladies and gents! Save the rhetoric for tomorrow!

    This I believe, is more of a "the standard is the standard type of moment!!!"

    My twin daughters were in 1st grade. (I had just got home from dropping them off at school and running an errand when I turned on the TV to see the report of the first plane "accident" as they called it at that moment. Watched the second plane hit live.)

    Now one is in college, and the other is waiting to ship out to the USAF. Time flies.

    Seems like a lifetime ago and changed our country forever.

    Did anyone watch 102 Minutes That Changed America on the History channel?

    This is pretty amazing if you haven't seen it~

    I've seen so many documentaries, I'm sure I have. But they all tend to run together after a while.

    I cannot watch anything related to the 9/11 attacks. When I see the buildings coming down and the aftermath, I physically get ill. It is the most disturbing thing I have ever seen in my life.

    Then I get angry and want to kill the people responsible for it. Not good for the old blood pressure.

    Hey how many of you PA guys live close to Shanksville? I was thinking that today actually. My uncle was very high up in the military and worked at the Pentagon. On the morning of 9/11 he took my aunt to Reagan Intl and put her on a plane to CA. He then went back to the Pentagon and saw smoke boiling and found out the plane was heading to CA that hit the building. He knew there was a 1 in 5 chance that she was on one of the planes. She wasn't BUT the plane went right through her office! Talk about KNOWING you're MEANT to be here! If she had stayed at work she would've died. If she had booked a flight on a different airline she would've died. When my uncle told me that I jokingly told him to go to Vegas.

    Yeah it for sure changed America. I've wondered a lot what kids will be like a few generations from now when they hear about this. I wonder if it will have the same impact on them as it had on us who can remember it like it was yesterday? I mean to this day I still get mad and sad and also incredibly proud when I think about that day. But can you say you've ever felt that way when you watch the footage of Pearl Harbor? Pearl Harbor angers me too but I can't really feel the FULL impact of Pearl Harbor because we know everything turned out to be alright because we toppled the governments that were responsible. I think 9/11 will always make us feel a degree of anger that generations who weren't there for it won't be able to appreciate. I don't really know exactly how to express what I'm saying but maybe you can understand what I'm saying. It's like there can never be "closure" because there will always be terrorists but killing UBL was a big moral victory because it seemed that there was a measure of justice handed out. Mike Huckabee said "how fitting that the last thing to go through the mind that thought up 9/11 was an American bullet." I love that.

    It's called theblaze.com. It's a website that covers all kinds of things. You would like it.
