Quoteh, ok. as i dont pay any attention to new york city, i had no idea what it meant. sorry if i offended anyone, but you have to remember, there are some that have no idea what a picture without an explanation means.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe the title through you off ?

How about:

Remember this sight/scene ? .......... Never Forget How it Was

because now it is gone

 

Dennis the title is very straight forward and to the point.

Remember this and never forget

Being an american who has served, I for one will never forget what was , what happened, what is happening still, and what is happening to those that are serving.

Remember this and Never Forget .

 

Being a Canadian and never serving in the military.

I understood what it was and will never forget.


I still remember Pearl Harbour plus all the other attacks and losses of life as well.

It wasn't me with the interpretation problem.

I simply offered an explanation


Remembering it and Never forget....... are the same thing

 

what ever........

 

"Remember this" (or recall it to memory now, in the present) "and NEVER FORGET" (meaning remember this not only today, but for as long as you exsist)
It can seem synonomous Dennis, but I think the intent was as I explained above.

I do understand that you are sympathetic to the pain of your neighbors to the South regarding the attacks 5 years ago, and I appreciate it. I also understand that you are a sensible person and realize that the events of 9-11 have adversely affected not only Americans, but all free nations as well.

It is easy to be misunderstood when communicating in this fashion.

Cheers, T

 

I didnt think you were that old

 

how many died in Building Seven?

 

as i have already stated, and will state again, i am not trying to insult anyone, or disrespect anyone. there was a great loss on sep11, and i agree that it must never be forgotten. but that picture to me is only a picture of the statue of liberty. i do not know what the twin towers look like in a picture of new york, i have never seen one besides that one. i do not look at nyc when i am in the area. when i am there, i am driving, an keep my eyes on the road.

i could not tell you anything about newark, or new brunswick, or perth amboy new jersey either. i don't go into city's, because i don't care for the feeling of being another ant in the ant farm..

 

ONE post thread hi-jack

Tom,I understand completely.

There are still several places in England & the USA that I am still unaware of.


So, Here's some levity for you

Just so you know, so when you come to Canada you know what to look for because you've seen it here first.

Everytime I view any of the 9/11 attacks... my mind and body physically feels the pain & horror of all those that died that day.

What happened on 9/11... Will Never, Ever Be Forgotten ...by Me

 

+++++ I got to laugh when I saw your pictures of big things because I wondered if the big t pee would be there and it was.. This pic here http://www.bigthings.ca/sask/pictures/toma1.jpg I grew up in this town and know it well. My father owned the drugstore there and we had many plates spoons tea cups etc. with that on them to sell to the people who had nothing better to do than stop by the town of 500 to see this.. LOL.. The computer makes the world seem smaller I am in shock about you showin that pic..LOL..


I am not sure how to respond to this whole topic but I will ask if any of you were there or know someone who was there and involved in the relief effort of the Trade Centre.. Or if you know someone who actually died there. I know they are Americans and we all feel for them. I must tell you that 2 weeks after it happened we sent 1/3 of our fire Department to help out. We mostly ended up useing the Honor Guard to help bury the Dead Firefighters. I can tell you all only 1 thing and that is the pictures you post here of it is nothing compared to being there or having home video of Ground Zero it is a whole lot different. The pictures really do not show the destruction in its true form.. I think we need to quit arguing over who cares more or less and just pull together as a nation to try and remember what happened so maybe everyone is aware enough to help prevent another one happening... Anyway I remember everyday I go into work because we have extra training now so we may be able to handle an attack closer to our home and even further from home... We also sent people South shortly after Katrina , what a mess...
In closing alot of people have forgotten but that could be part of healing I guess. At our 911 Honor Guard Memorial less people show up every year. Anyway I better sign off so you guys can let me have it ... Thanks for the T Pee pic it did brighten my day...

 

fair 96, i knew 2 people with the port authority police that never came home.
my father knew over 30 members of fdny that never came home.
and 2 ex employees had family members that never came home.
and now the brave people that dropped everything to help are starting to suffer. i know a few port authority police that are in the starting stages of silicosis, and a few that have asbestosis.
the pain and suffering from that terrible day will be with us for a long time, and unfortunately, the death toll is going to rise rapidly within a few years.

 

I wish their famalies all the best and you too. A couple of my coworkers are not as healthy as they were before they went either. But we did not have weeks on end at the site either. Those 2 also went down south after Katrina and were searching flooded houses right in the bad place so some of it may be from that. Anyway all of this has touched many people and I wish the best to all. I posted this on another thread but maybe you didnt see this. It is to me a direct result of post 911 and to me they are now the Heros. My young neighbor got hit by a roadside bomb in iraq he is barely 19 and his life wont be the same forever, however he was the lucky one he lived...
