I believe for all of those who were alive during Pearl Harbor, they can remember where they were and what they were doing on the day Japan attacked the U.S. unknowingly and unprovoked. So is the similar memory seared into my mind of the day when terrorist attacked our country using planes as missiles.
Like everyone else, I did not know what was taking place as it was taking place. I was on the phone ordering some equipment for an upcoming gate security system install, when the guy on the phone told me that a plane had just crashed into the first tower. As soon as we got off the phone I went to ask my boss if he had heard what had happened, by the time we got a little TV connected and turned on, the second plane crashed, then the Pentagon, and finally the reports of flight 93 being taken down into a field. I went home immediately and was in shock for several hours, it was unbelievable.
I personally think it is a disgrace to this country and to those who died that day for the media to have pulled the images and the coverage from this horrific event. I know the families of the victims need and needed to heal, but in the same sense we have lost all remembrance of what took place and why we have engaged in this war on terror. I believe in the same sense there needs to be a balance, where the world will see that we will protect our land and we will destroy anyone who tries to bring harm to our people, but as a country we have to spread compassion and mercy to those who are as well innocent.
I also think it is despicable and a disgrace for these conspiracy theorists to say that 9/11 was an inside job and that the Bush administration was behind it all. Get a life! There is no better way to dishonor those who have fallen. The funny thing is…most of these people with the 9/11 truth, Alex Jones, and the other nut cases have no evidence or proof of their claims, yet they speak out against and call the experts who have investigated their false claims liars. I’ve researched their claims and they show a few videos clips of tower 7 falling, and they say that it fell because of pre-set explosives, so when did they become demolition experts? What is their background and history in the destruction of buildings, and why are they the experts to tell us that since “the look” of the falling tower appeared to be similar to that of a building that has been purposely demolished that it is a cover up. Get real!!! Seriously…they have the dumbest theories on this planet.
May the victims never be forgotten, nor the act that took place in our country. May God bless and comfort the families who lost loved ones in 9/11.
