In remembrance of those we lost on 9/11
Easy to get distracted with these fires, appreciate this post!
I went the memorial several years ago. Amazing and intense experience. I will be taking my kids when they are old enough to understand the gravity of it all.
Most united I've ever seen this country in my 61 trips around the sun....Rip to the victims of this worlds cancer.Never forget and fuck the rag head terrorist assholes. And fuck cuntilla and biden for letting more jihadists into the country.

We visited the Flight 93 memorial in Shanksville this summer on our road trip very touching and they have the phone recordings of many of the flight attendants and passengers. I pointed out to my Wife the puddles of tears on the floor beneath the listening phonesThere is no doubt countless men and women spent their last minutes on September 11, 2001 selflessly helping others around them, performing heroic deeds that exemplified the resolve and courage most of us possess but are seldom called upon to use.
One group of those unlikely heros, Todd Beamer, Mark Bingham, Tom Burnett, and Jeremy Glick, were passengers on United Flight 93. When they discovered through GTE AirFone calls to people on the ground their hijacked plane was intended to be used as a deadly missile to kill, these men calmly formulated a plan to storm the aircraft's cockpit, kill the hijackers, and safely land the plane.
Snippets of Todd Beamer's courage were later revealed by recordings of his conversations with GTE service representative Lisa Jefferson. The plane's cockpit voice recorder captured sounds of the violent confrontation with the hijackers, and the decision by those criminals to break off their plans to crash into the White House.
Instead the aircraft struck the ground, inverted and traveling at a speed near 600 MPH. The fragments of the plane were buried deep in the Earth, the engines found over 60' below the surface. Shattered bits of human remains were collected and identified where possible, but the families received very little that could be given a proper burial.
The nearly 3,000 people that boarded aircraft or went to work in or near the WTC complex on September 11 died horribly. We remember them, the treachery of the hijackers, and the naive unpreparedness of the nation against organized evil.
We remember Todd Beamer's immortal words..."Let's roll!" We also remember the admonition that should unite our country and provide a determination which focuses on justice and the destruction of the forces which attacked our homeland..."Never forget!"
Don't allow that to happen.
Stupid should hurt.We went to the Diamondbacks game today. They did a great job remembering 9-11.
There were a couple of twinks sitting behind us, more interested in rubbing on each other than the game. Whatever, to each their own. The D’Backs had a local cop sing God Bless America, he was really good. It wasn’t until after the game and we were half way to the car, that my wife told me that the twinks were singing “land that I hate” instead of “land that I love” during God Bless America. She didn’t tell me for a good reason because that would not have gone over well, not in a violent way but I would have wanted to talk to them about why they felt that way. Well, if they were assholes, it might have gone sideways.
She also shared with me, she spun around, gave them the finger and they left quickly after. lol
Never Forget.
