"Friends of my Brother, friends of my Sister, died in that " horrifying evil ". My brother would also have died, but he missed his train that morning. The memories of that event are very personal, and very painful.
For me, at least, there are some things that should not be made into annual public spectacles.
It was on that morning, watching the collapse of the towers, that my "r e l i g i o n" left me, and my Faith and belief,in the Almighty God, replaced it. I no longer have any use or tolerance for the "power of Man".
I would prefer that each of us remembers that day in our own private way. Wounds of the heart should never be poked and prodded for "public sensationalism" , or "political gain".
I celebrate the heroes of that day, I do not celebrate the event itself." - CPO, USN, RET

The above is my own personal response to the pain and loss of that day, and in no way represents my responsibilities as a moderator on this board. any who take issue with this, please do so by PM, and not by posted reply.
Thank you in advance,
Pete

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
