September 11, 10 years on

It doesn't matter who you think is to blame for this incident all that matters is innocent people were killed. So to anyone that was effected by this tragedy I wish you all the best and our thoughts are with you and to whoever was behind this may you burn in hell.

Now I lay me down to sleep...one less terrorist this world does keep...with all my heart I give my thanks..to those in uniform regardless of ranks..you serve our country and serve it well..with humble hearts your stories tell..so as I rest my weary eyes..while freedom rings our flag still flies..you give your all, do what you must..with God we live and God we trust ** Never forget 9/11 and all the heroes who lost their lives, who have fought or are still fighting! Thank you to you all ♥ **

Bin Ladin made his mark. We took him down, but it is nothing to be proud of. Like Mendenhall, I didnt celebrate his death. I actually agreed with most of his cooments.

I'll never forget that day. My dad actually worked at the WTC but was late for work that day. I found out it happened when my mom called to let me know he was okay and ended up being the one to inform the class.

Let's not turn this thread into a Bin Laden did/didn't do it. Let's just remember those who lost their lives on that tragic day.

hey zilla this is random but are you originally from the middle east?? i know you are a muslim and live down under but i was wondering if you were born in the middle east.

Born and bred in Sydney, Australia. Lived here my whole life. Parents are Lebanese though and came to OZ in the 70's.

nice i know some lebanese guys here in western mass but they are phalange christians. i sometimes go to this lebanese bakery downtown and get some REAL pita. if its not made by lebanese its FAKE pita lol

Lol, yeah Lebanese food is the best. I think out of all the Middle Eastern countries Lebanon is the most western and is the only non Muslim country in the Middle East. It's about 50-50 Muslim-Christian. I think that's why we are the least extreme from that area.

hard to believe it has been 10 years. In many ways it seems like yesterday.

yeah i remeber that morning i was with my oldest son at the doctors. then i saw the second plane hit live on tv and then the pentagon. i almost enlisted the next day no bull. i went to see hopkins destroy trinidad two weeks after after it was postponed and there was still smoke coming from groundzero.

I had just come home from work and turned on the tv. I thought it was a movie and changed the channel and the same thing was on. I thought something was wrong with my tv because I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
