9/11 We remember
<

Today, yesterday depends on when this is posted, is the 4 year reminder of the terror that fell upon this great nation in 2001. The twin Towers, symbol of the American wealth and power, was struck down by two planes full of people and a tank full of gas. The one wing on the Pentagon and the people on flight 94 who died in that rual Penn field. Millions watched in shock, from home, from school, from work, or live in person in downtown Manhatten. The people who got phone calls from their loved ones got to hear it first hand by the passangers willing to take on the highjackers that took over their plane, that was rummored to have been going to the White House. The Smoke that lined the skyline lasted for days and was a sad and horrable reminder of the terror that fell upon us 4 years ago on September 11, 2001. Many cried for the people who lost their lives, be loved ones or strangers. Most of the pictures that you find are about the towers making people forget about the other 2 planes that went down that day. One will never forget where they were standing or what they were doing when they heard the news. I myself had just finished running Cross Country and was going to my first period (7th Grade) as a Student Aid in the Library. They had the TVs on and I watched as the second plane hit, just as I looked at the Tv. My mind didn't know what was going on, cause I had never heard of the towers before then. But I blame myself for surviving the attack. People lost Fathers, Mothers, Bothers, Sisters, Daughters, Sons, Grandparents, Husbands and wives. Not one person had some attachment to the horror as the towers feel. Mine was not until we had started the war when my cousin Jessica Lynch became a POW in Iraq. Now I know most of you are tired of hearing about her, but even if she hadn't been a POW she still would have been a hero. The fact of it all is that she lived through it all to tell her story and help others who went through the same thing she went through. I don't like the fact she made a book about her life, or got so much air time and other stuff. Cause the other POW's who came over didn't get the same treatment. Most people say the attack was on this day because without the - or / it is 911 also the 11 are symbols of the towers. But they found records that they had did everything earlier than planned. So they could have been planning for a busy holiday when a lot of people were in those places and plans they took. Many have lost their lives over this when we HAD no proff that Bin Laden was the one who started it all, we just assumed because of what he has done in the past. As for the video's he sends... how do we know the goverment isn't fucking up the translation of it to keep him as the bad guy. Many songs were changed for this tragity and many were written like Have You forgotten By DW (lyrics are below) 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 They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in Before you start preaching Let me ask you this my friend CHORUS 1 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 through 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 every day Some say this country's just out looking for a fight After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right CHORUS 1 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 through a living hell And we vowed to get the ones behind Bin Laden Have you forgotten? I've been there with the soldiers Who've gone away to war And you can bet that they remember Just what they're fighting for CHORUS 2 Have you forgotten all the people killed? Yes, some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field Have you forgotten about our Pentagon? All the loved ones that we lost And those left to carry on Don't you tell me not to worry 'bout Bin Laden Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten? Picture I was unable to find a pentagon or penn field one that did it justice. ~Jaa Tala And remember we will never forget September 11, 2001 Please take a moment of silence after reading this to morn for all those who have lost their lives.
