    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.

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    i guess my feelings were expressed incorrectly yesterday. I agree with this statement.

    Was having a bad day yesterday and did not think before i posted.


    I apologize if my words have hurt anyone's feelings or gone against their beliefs.

    Some people wear it on their sleeves, others just figure life happens. It's no big deal.

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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

    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.

    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 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

    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!
