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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
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...

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.
Oh, I understand bro. I wasn't trying to argue about it.
Back to being stock and slow
They did that. I never asked.
How can someone not feel involved by this event that was 9/11?
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?

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.
Back to being stock and slow
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

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

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....... 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
NO NWS
Reps to you evasive...
Back to being stock and slow
Then you do not deserve to live in this country.
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.
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
NO NWS
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...
Back to being stock and slow
Gotta love those recruiters....believe what you will. I just assume that you have nothing to do with our military.
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.
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.
Back to being stock and slow
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!
