9/11 - 15 years on

[Gonff the Mousethief]

I was born two months after 9/11. I remember on the fifth Anniversary, my mom was crying. I didn't understand why, so I asked and she tried to explain it to me. I still didn't understand, but just knew it wasn't good. Today, I was talking to her again about it. She told me she was scared to raise a child after that, and that she knew my life would not be the same as hers in anyway. My dad doesn't like to talk about it, because the stories of the rescue teams going in and saving people brings back memories of when he had to go and save people during Hurricane Katrina. He saw many things that day which still haunt him. Now, I am a very patriotic person, and when 9/11 rolls around, I expect nothing less than for people to respect it. Before Matthias halted the argument, I was about to post somethings which would have gotten me banned from the forum for sure. But today is a day where you don't go around and act the fool and make joke about things. Today is a day for remembrance, honor, and silence. For this day will, and has, defined what my and many other's lives will be; a fight against evil which seems to crumble nations but only builds them stronger. And if you cannot respect that, I don't want to know you.

20 years after the attack. As they say, Never Forget.

I can't remember anything, but I was raised in NYC and we felt, and still feel I think the scars.

For those of us who are old enough, we will always remember where we were when we heard the news. The world was indelibly changed that day. Never forget!

Indeed.

Wow, 20 years ago now...
