Sept 11th. how will you remeber?

“From the post that brought this thread up again, it's obvious that Xlax chooses to observe the tragedy and sacrifice of September 11 by perpetuating ugliness.

It's an insult to those that died that day.”

“t*ltypoo likes to fry babies
sticks is stoopid”

“I will be hiking out of the sawthooths! Yo bear!
"its not where you been that counts, its where you're going"”

“It's only two weeks away, will Ted be covered up by then?”

“Well, some really good friends and I will maybe go for a drive and maybe go for a walk and generally see who is about and pass on the message that many of us havent forgotten the 11th....”

“I will be celebrating my freedom, the same Freedom that was tragically and heinously taken away from all of the victims of 9/11, and their families, by backpacking with some good friends in the Dolly Sods, WV. I will be remembering all the brave and tireless first responders who toiled and Ground Zero and @ the Pentagon, who gave their all to rescue any survivors. I will especially remember my precious brother-in-law Ray, an FDNY'er who was at the scene within hours after the first plane hit, remained there working for two solid weeks, and was finally felled by Esophageal cancer in the summer of '07, we believe as a direct result of his work at Ground Zero.”

“I drove past the Pentagon yesterday, saw a sign for the Pentagon Memorial but didn't have time to stop (hour 7 of an 8 hour drive home). I was definitely thinking about that day as I went past...”

“I try to act like we still have something to make the rest of the world jealous.

Besides that I flew a flag from my backpack all last week in the mountains. Figured it was close enough.”

“This year I'll be on a plane to Denver.

Everyone on it better behave.”

“I'll be out on a beach, like I was the morning of 9/11 (different beach) before I had learned what had happened, recovering from a long night of partying and sleeping under the stars.”

“I think I'll grill some t-bones and visit with family.”

“Be Glad that it doesn`t happen as much in North America as it does in Israel,Afghanistan and Iraq.”

“ding ding ding

paddles nailed it”

“I'm going to celebrate by performing a service for my fellow Americans of some sort or another.”

“I will be leading a Solar Homes tour. Helping the USA wean itself of dependency on foreign oil is my patriotic duty. (no joke)”

“Its to bad that not all of us are not tortured by the memories, because some of us it is forgotten”

“I will remember 300 who went in even though they knew they would not come out....Heywood..quick question....was that a darwin act?”

“Usually on the Saturday or Sunday closest to 9/11, I participate in Flags on the 48 - and fly the American Flag from one of the 48 4K in New Hampshire. Its a great event and last year I added a new twist, taking burn survivors and friends to Cannon Mountain and carrying a list of the names of the fire fighters who perished in the World Trade Center.
I'm not doing it this year due to a high profile family event I don't feel right getting out of - and I'm a little bummed out over this. This time, I will invite all my family members to come to next year's event. That way, not matter what anyone else has organized down the road - I've already staked my claim on the day.

I will mention the anniversary to my class, and I will take some time to remember. The anniversary has become more meaningful to me over the years.”

“I will remember by hugging my family and thanking god I still have them. bless the ones that do not have their family memeber to hug.

be kind to each other today.”

“I remember by embracing my daily struggles and challenges and realizing they pale in comparison to others.”

“I will try to remember the act was committed by a sick group bent on telling everyone else how they have to life. And I will look for ways to celebrate the freedom and right of responsibility that so many have died for.

Oh and I will try to remember the act was committed by worshipers of the Drunken Child Molester named Mohammed....Lets see how many times Islamists or Muslim or a related term is used on the news.

Kinda like talking about Pearl Harbor and never mentioning the Japanese.

“Together with Mrs. Opie for 11 years. That's my 9/11, pray for me!”

“Oh well...they tried

“i sure wish ol' joe McCarthy was here.”

“He is on Fox. White puffy dude with tears running down his cheeks. He's the one that talks like he did his weeks worth coke in the last ad slot.”

“"If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna beat the muslim #&%!$s who killed me to heaven and screw all their virgins before they get there!"

Oops, my bad, I thought this was the caption this picture thread....”

“Not necessary!!!!!!

“It does bring back some of the initial shock, though.”

“to take glee from seeing/troll with an image of the moment of someone's horrific death is beyond disgusting

the same kind of mentality is what made the "faces of death" vid series so popular”

“Never forget, this attack was done in the name of Islam.”

“"Strong are those that have suffered, brave are those that do something about it, missed are those that have died because of it, ignorant are those that remember it only one day a year."

~No idea who to attribute it to, unfortunately”

“'Never forget, this attack was done in the name of Islam'

Done in the name of those that let hear say dictate their actions.”

“So um did we remember it as "Patriot" Day or as the "Natzionale Tage Von Der Vaterland" (bad German for national day for the fatherland).?”

“I'm sure you wrapped your phony patriot ass in a Chinese-made flag, XLax.”

“It's one thing to discuss 9/11 remembrances/plans when the conversation happens to come up, but what I find distasteful are people who make a point to bring it up in every conversation and let everyone know that they'll be doing something special - like Birch did above. I always suspect the person is doing it more for selfish social reasons than for 9/11.”

“Course....I have found the people who took heroic actions on that day would keep doing it and never really needed a special "day" to be heroic.”

I think in Birch's case it was irony as he is over there with Haji.”

“Yeah for some people it kinda sucks when we have a true hero like Birch who is ACTUALLY doing what most would fear to do.

Guess what, if Birch wants to remind us of why we are there...I say let him. He earned the right. Hell the old man (LOL) (lovingly Birch) got out of his walker and made it through training to go keep the wolves from our door. THAT is a hero.”

The definition of hero has become so watered down that it bears little to no resemblance to its historically accurate usage.

“mutt, why dont you support our soldiers?”

“Even though it was a trollish remark, crash bang brings up an important point: military service does not occur in a vacuum. There may very well be other factors that would preclude respect, and certainly hero status. Consider an extreme example: http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local-beat/4_Marines_Charged_in_Murder_of_Marine_Wife.html”

“youre the troll. here is birch's post

Well, some really good friends and I will maybe go for a drive and maybe go for a walk and generally see who is about and pass on the message that many of us havent forgotten the 11th

wow. he is really thumping his chest there. he's telling us about going for a drive, and then a walk. that blowhard

it's not too late for you, stove jr. your dad is beyond saving. he will die bitter. there is still time for you. turn away from hate. its not too late”

“XLax loves Birch......
And they called it Puppy Love”

“No I admire Birch for what he is doing. You know tilty, one of the fun parts of my job was watching the little whiney damp trouser crowd at a fire scene. You could always tell the libbie puss ball because they were trying to act tough around the incredible heroics of the men and women fighting the fire.

When all you have to place in your obit was that you 'protested' some crack house (meaning took no REAL action) well Tilty...I understand you are scared by the term Responsibility.”

“wow. he is really thumping his chest there. he's telling us about going for a drive, and then a walk. that blowhard

You conveniently left out the following: and pass on the message that many of us haven't forgotten the 11th

As I said above, I find that kind of behavior suspect in that it's probably not an end in itself, but a means to a different end (social gratification). Having seen years of his and his wife's smarmy posts here only strengthens my suspicion.”

“.....or pursuit of the C.I.B.”

“Mutt, Mutt, Mutt....... if you criticize someone with boobs on TT, be prepaired for the hate.”
