7 Years ago...

Not asking alot.
Not looking to fight.
Not looking to stir up who believes what.
Not looking for reps, daps, tears, or high fives.

All I ask is that you don't forget those whose lives were lost, and those who still fight, today. Whether you agree with the war or not isn't what I'm debating. Just a passing thought for those that have served, will serve, and serve today.

Thanks to everyone. It seems these days we all know someone involved.

[blackboi50]

those peoples whose lives were lost still stay in my prayers!!!!........1

[Motivation]

Agreed bro... It's amazing how the country was covered in American flags soon after the incident... Then American seemed to lose that focus, loyalty, and pride... The attack opened the eyes of a lot of people that day... Hopefully we won't become blind to the fact of how great a country we do live in. It is sad that it takes such a tragedy for us as Americans to realize it...

[Shibby]

idk anyone that was involved.. all it was to me was a couple buildings being blown up.

Yup sad day. Glad my father made it home from there.

[DB4LYFE ™]

REMEMBERED! :(

Very sad day. It showed us it could even happen here. The families of everyone who lost someone in it will be in my prayers, as well as our troops who are still fighting today.

[Motivation]

Are you kidding? We were ALL involved... This is OUR country as Americans. We were attacked. Not JUST the people that were in those buildings. If anything it should have opened your eyes a little. We were all comfortable with our lives until that day. Thinking we were safe, and no one could ever touch us because we lived here. Thought we were in some kind of bubble. We were showed something different that morning. It caused a lot of lives to be lost that day, and people lost their lives afterwards fighting for it.

[BKgen®]

We'll never forget. I'll always remember where I was when it happened.

[Catnip]

Not to be the ass of the thread, but isn't it useless saying 'remember' on the date rather than saying it at a random time? I remember when I see 9/11/XX w/o being told, but any other time it just slips my mind...

[Got Vtec?]

my prayers go out to all ppl who where affected by 9/11

[FlipKing]

6th grade science. scared the hell out of me. Scared alot of my friends who had military fathers. sparked a wild fire of patriotism that has since tapered off. People dont understand that whether you are for the war or not...its still America.

Easy, Killer...no fights over it. Everyone's got their own opinions. Look at his age, as well. Seems the younger generations don't realize the full impact of that day. Yeah...I'm only 2 years older than him, but...the gap on that issues seems very minimal.

That day I sat in computer programming in highschool as just a youngbuck.
Today I'm check IA here at MCAS New River, NC as a young PFC Marine. I'll receive my orders later this week for when I'll be deployed to the Horn of Africa or the sandbox in the ME.

[alpine_aw11]

I will never forget that day. I was home sick from school and watched it all happen...saw the second tower get hit on live tv. Almost lost an uncle, luckily he managed to get out. Worst day I've been around to see that's for sure.

i'm perfectly fine with my answer. I was not involved. I'm sorry.. not that patriotic.

[BKgen®]

i'm perfectly fine with my answer. I was not involved. I'm sorry.. not that patriotic.

And to think, soldiers have given their lives so that you can live freely in this country and say "Ehh.. i'm not that patriotic." It's a shame.

Agreed...but the LEAST people can do is just remeber on anniversary of the event. Much like no one really thinks about Pearl Harbor TOO much except for on that date.

Trust me...I remember on a daily basis...

[Shibby]

And, I was in 7th grade late for school, mom woke me up yelling "WE WERE BOMBED!!!".


I'm joining the NAVY within the next 4-6 months.

I do and I am not even American.......

I was in science class in 9th grade. very scary day. Semper Fi Evasive, are you on Camp Geiger(sp). MOS?

[Motivation]

They did that. I never asked.


I am not going to argue with you bro... All I am going to tell you is this, when you join the Navy... I gaurantee your outlook will change on all this. When you see someone you got close to during service get shot right beside you, or blown up, or maybe (God forbid) it happens to you. Yes. They did do it with out you asking. But it was for something they believed in. They didn't have to be asked to give their life. They did it willingly.

[Catnip]

Thanks for not twisting what I said. All that's true, but on the other hand, sometimes it's just too painful to think about it everyday. I remember crying a lot that day, I didn't lose anyone that I knew that day, just a really sad day.

BTW, thanks for doing what you do, being in the military and all :goodjob: :cheers:

[redrumracer]

i was in math class when it happened. and even though some think it might not effect them, it effected the whole global economy. it wasnt just the US that got attacked, think of how many foreign businesses kept there head quarters or major offices in the buildings. happened on our soil but it was a global tragedy

[EvasiveEF9]

And, I was in 7th grade late for school, mom woke me up yelling "WE WERE BOMBED!!!".

Maybe you'll understand a little better at that point in time...

They did that. I never asked.
We do it so that people like you have the right to say you hate this country, and then don't move out. Not that you said that...but you get my picture. We do it so that you can live a safe life, every day, complaining about going in to work, or b*tching about school homework, and so kids can wake up with their biggest daily worry being "I hope my clothes are washed so I can look good for that new student." Or wonder "what to eat for dinner" instead of wondering if you'll even GET to eat that night. You say it's "our choice." Be happy YOU have that choice. Several countries REQUIRE you to serve for X amount of time. We serve so this country can offer others the option of never serving. There are so many examples I could give you, such as when you sign, what if they put you in comm or something, and you end up in the sandbox, and you get hit with an IED while en route to a rally point? You chose to join the navy, yes...but did you choose to go to that RP? Do you think those that have been KIA, POW, or MIA CHOSE to be where they were when whatever happened to them happened? Or do you think they just signed to do something for their country, and kinda got screwed out of life?

Again, youngin'...not saying you're a piece of sh*t, or that you suck or anything like that. I think it's great you're willing to put forth your time, and put your life on hold to serve. All I'm saying is I hope that once you've joined the service, you'll have a little better understanding.

That being said, again, I'm not wanting to fight, so that should be my last "negative" comment to you. I just hope you take a minute to think about it. Good luck, and best wishes in your duties.

[.::UNKNOWN::.]

some people make me sick....... my cousin was in the path of the second airplane that hit... she never had a chance.... my uncle her father which was at the pentagon is back home with a purple heart but he has 3rd degree burn scars on 70% of his body... and then we get the fat a$$ michael moore that says it was an inside job:2up:....... i'm sorry for getting alil hostile and i love all who serve and thank you all with all of my heart for the freedoms i have :goodjob:

[Motivation]

Reps to you evasive...

[Init2winit]

i'm perfectly fine with my answer. I was not involved. I'm sorry.. not that patriotic.Then you do not deserve to live in this country.

[DeeAOne]

man i remember that day. just sitting in class, then all of the sudden we go on lockdown...had no clue what happened until i went home.. :(

i'm not going overseas... the position i'm taking is not needed for deployment.

[.::UNKNOWN::.]

i'm not going overseas... the position i'm taking is not needed for deployment. coming from a naval brat.... dad was in for 26 yrs he had one of those non deployment jobs but then come the 6 month cruise:goodjob:

[Motivation]

i'm not going overseas... the position i'm taking is not needed for deployment.

Neither did the people that died in 9/11... meaning someone may just not like the fact you are in uniform and decide to do something about it... But anyways, I hope you are right, they told my nephew he would not be deployed either... two months later he was going door to door in Afghan...

[Init2winit]

i'm not going overseas... the position i'm taking is not needed for deployment.Gotta love those recruiters....believe what you will. I just assume that you have nothing to do with our military.

[Shibby]

yeah, i'm going to be going on a ship but not iraq.


And it's kinda ****ty to negative rep me because of my opinions. I'm sorry for your losses but dont take it out on me, i didn't know your friends. I do not feel remorse for strangers.

[Motivation]

I personally + repped you. Not because of what you believe, but at least you are being honest about it... Do I agree with you? answer is obvious. lol... But I wish the best of luck to ya... I honestly think your mind will change once you join the service.

[KREEP]

I will always remeber how sad the next few months were after the attacks. I Feel so bad for all those people that were told that there was nothing wrong and to go back to their offices, and most of them were burned alive...Not to mention all the people that were killed trying to save victims from the wreckage. I pray for the victims who survived the victims who died and all of their friends and family. It hurt my heart that day. I was on my way to work in the trusty ford ranger listening to 96 rock when they brodcast the news. I turned around and went home and watched it all unfold on tv. Anyone who says anything hateful or "im not patriotic" should be deported to another counrty that you think might be more suitable for you. Don't let the door hit ya ass on the way out!

VERY WELL SAID! now honestly im not the most patriotic person my self. i was born in canada, i am still a citizen of CA, moved to the states and plan on moving back relatively soon but that doesn't mean i dont respect those that serve. would i ever do it? probably not, but thank god we have people that do.

i still remember i was in 6th grade when it hit, i was running late for class and when i walked in and everyone one looked scared, i glaced up at the tv and thought they were watching a movie, only to realize that the u.s had been attacked. very vivid memory.

[Motivation]

Well, I am getting off IA for the night... Just wanted to post these up...

[savincent]

I can't believe its been 7 years.. I remember when all this happened. Sitting in class doing math, I was only 11 at the time. I had only been in class for a few hours, when I was called to the office to be taken home. I remember walking into the office kinda happy, until I saw my mom in tears and looked at the TV to suddenly realize what was going on.

A few days later I went back to school after fighting with my parents about missing days of school. See, I actually liked school that year. I remember walking into class, and I was 1 of 6 students that actually showed up to class that day. Decided to take the next week off after that. Sat around the house watching CNN 24/7. This all caused me to kinda get into politics and such. Pretty crazy life changing experience for me.

[Vteckidd]

FREEDOM ISNT FREE

RIP 9/11

[EvasiveEF9]

Thanks to all who have thanked me for my services. Just don't forget there are thousand of men and women (yes...even as a marine, I don't overlook females in the service...LoL) who do incredible work every day.

To our soon-to-be navy sailor, I hope your recruiter DIDN'T lie to you. If you don't hit hard land, you won't fully feel what I feel, just as I'll never fully feel what our infantryman do. I used to go around poking fun at those guys, but man...the things they have seen are beyond many people's most horrid nightmares.

I gotta be up...3.5hrs for my wonderful job which thankfully still has me in the states, for now. So I gotta sign off. But before I do, I just wanted to say thanks, again, to all who serve, or have served...including SEVERAL on IA that you may have never even guessed.

Thanks, again.

[B_Hoov]

where were YOU when it happened? i was in coach jager's class at west hall high school in pre calculus studying for a test, then the principal came over the intercom and told everyone to turn the tv's on and find a news station, shortly after the bell rang and i ran to my technology class and after two or 3 min the towers fell, i don't think i have EVER had soo much sympathy for those who were lost and there families.

[Fox351]

I have the deepest condolences for the families effected by the Sept. 11th tragedy, and the up most respect for the soldiers in all the countries away from home serving their country and following the orders set out by a government they may not agree with.......I believe that is the definition of loyalty.

I also have an opinion that due to other world powers and influential people it was allowed to happen to be used as a catalyst to propel us into the ongoing war. This in turn led us to the current state of things with the economy and the loss of freedoms here in US.

very sad day. But it made this country stronger...

[TheGodfather]

Lost 2 family members and the day still is as fresh in my mind as it was the day it happened.

I get goosebumps seeing pictures, and make a point to visit Ground Zero everytime I go home to say a prayer for my family members I lost and the others who were lost.

[FlipKing]

They did that. I never asked.


Wow, like not trying to start fights or anything but that is the most piece of **** anwser I've ever heard.....wow.....

[Nitro]

Sad day :(

[Sammich]

idk anyone that was involved.. all it was to me was a couple buildings being blown up.

as mean as that sounded...thats how i felt..indeed it was tragic and eye opening...just not that touched by it.

although it was a sad and scary day for most

[SixSquared]

I lost my cousin and a close family friend... I think about them every day. I remember exactly what I was doing when I heard about it, and I remember coming home from school and my mom sitting in the living room crying. I'm thankful that the rest of my family in NY was safe (90% of my family is in or near NYC), but I'll never forget my losses, or the losses of others.

RIP to those lost, and godspeed to the soldiers still overseas fighting for us. I don't agree with the politics behind it all, and I don't like the president, but I fully support the soldiers and hope they come home quickly and safely!

[Leisa]

I just dont see how any true American young or old, can not be affected by what happened on this day. Do you people not feel as if your Freedom was compromised by all of these actions? It still makes me sick to my stomach to watch what happened on tv...

They're young, its just like us not grasping the emotion of seeing JFK assassinated, or Pearl Harbor. I was 21 when this happened, someone who is 20 was just 13 at that time.. its hard to expect all of them to be mature enough to understand.

I was 21 when this happened, someone who is 20 was just 13 at that time.. its hard to expect all of them to be mature enough to understand.I honestly don't think age is a huge factor in this situation. Some people just react to certain situations in a different way - you could get super emotional over it, yet have someone right next to you be like 'damn' and go on with their life. I didn't read the whole thread. Just saw this young people comment and decided to post. But yes, in reality someone's reaction to an event is reflected by his character. Not his age.

ETA: To all the people who lost their lives on that day, RIP.

[Silvrmaxx]

was in 9th grade biology at the time... me, along with just about everyone else, no one knew what to do or what to say... two of my best friends, along with many other classmates enlisted in USMC after high school. they have already been over there twice and one is going back next week... i'll always remember where i was anhd what i was doing that day... RIP to everyone who lost their lives...

True, its more of a maturity thing.

Question to everyone, when the first plane hit did you honestly think it was an accident or did you know immediately that this was an attack? A lot of people say they knew immediately but I don't see how.

A lot of people say they knew immediately but I don't see how.I remember I was 14 and getting my braces tighten and heard it over the radio in the office. Anyone with common sense knew it was an attack. Who in their right mind would think, "oh, some idiot pilot noob crashed the plane in one of the WTC buildings." Even though it sucks, I personally think it was an inside job. But that's just me.

Yo hit me on my cell asap....

[Kourt]

I was living in New York at the time, only 20 miles from NYC. It was crazy how it changed everything up there. My step dad was across the hudson river working ontop of another building and saw it all. Everyone says we will never forget but why is it only this day we remember?

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

I remember this plain as day... I can't believe it has been 7 years!

I was walking into my drafting class my senior year and was stopped dead in my tracks.... I remember crying like a baby because not only was my father there, but friends and other family as well...

My dad made it home safely, he ended up being several miles away when it happened. Some friends weren't as fortunate.

Thanks to all those that serve. I am a conservative - always have been and always will be... I support the war on terror (flame away, if you feel like it)... those people are better off with the help that we have given.

Here are some more pics.

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

One more...

And oh yea.. to the kid that stated he's not patriotic... you'll change your mind when your ass gets bombed by some iraqi when you are "fighting for your country.." My bet is that you'll b!tch out in boot camp anyway or get sea sick on that boat... Good luck!:goodjob:

As far as it being an inside job, I can't say I believe it but I also can't say I don't. It's a pretty interesting argument, but the arguments for it being an inside job are much stronger. It's just hard to swallow the fact that it might be true.

[Hulud]

x2! lucky bro..!:goodjob:


Sad day.:(
yea he was a block away and had to be evacuated from his building and had to walk all the way to his brothers place. didnt hear from my dad for a few hours, sucked

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNNTcHq5Tzk

Pretty good video. Very sad... There's a part that got me, when the lady says, "that's Lily's daycare!" Breaks my heart to know that those poor innocent babies already at daycare were probably killed. :*(

[Reaper]

I was sitting in health class and didn't know what was going on for over an hour because our Principle wouldn't allow the teachers to turn on the tv's(idk why). My mom pulled me out of school at 10 am b/c my dad was supposed to be in one of the towers that morning. Thankfully he had left before the events happened, he found he way down to Langley, Va. and called us from there.

I remember this like it was yesterday, I was 14. I don't see how people couldn't be affected by it, but then again I don't see how someone who lives in this country could "hate it". Freedom isn't free...I feel that I am truly blessed for being born here.

RIP victims of 9/11.

[RL...]

You people do know that the twin towers were actually designed to be able to take hits from the very same type of plane that crashed into them on 9/11 right? I think it's pretty far-fetched to believe that some guy named bin laden somewhere in the mountains or wherever orchestrated the only attack on US soil(besides pearl harbor). Many things don't add up about this incident, but nonetheless, it was tragic, and RIP to the victims....

Many things don't add up about this incident, but nonetheless, it was tragic, and RIP to the victims....

It's thinking like that, that allowed this thing to happen in the first place. :goodjob:

Yes, the towers were designed to be able to withstand an accident like this... But, it was also planned out where exactly it had to be hit to make the building collapse... Anywhere else, and the building would still be able to stand. The terrorists were in America for a long time before this attack took place. We taught them, and gave them access to do this without realizing it. The thing is, terrorist are not only over seas... So as far as it being orchestrated, it was well thought out and didn't just happen over night..

You really are a dumb ****. :no:

It's sad and true, we did offer them pretty much everything they needed to attack us with our own stuff on our own soil. That's part of living in a land that gives us as much freedom we have. Some say the freedom we have is too much, and others feel like we just need to be more prepared for us to be hit by our own stuff.

I don't know if I feel it was an inside job, or if it truly was just a "lucky shot" where we picked up a black eye. All I can say is changed the life we all live.

And thanks to everyone for all the positive comments, and for taking the time to think about those fallen...and NOT starting too many fights.

Like some people have said I will never forget where I was when I found out. Truly a sad day. My prayers go out to the families of the fallen. Not only on that day but everyday that we are over seas. I pray that everyone makes it home safe and those who don't will always be remembered as 'unsung heroes'. I thank all of the military men and women that protect us and let us enjoy a free life. Thanks again for everything. I will be behind you with all the support I can give. God bless America!
