Sometimes it’s important to remember what we’re fighting for in the war on terror. On this page you’ll find links to some moving images and sounds that will bring back the loss and horror of September 11, 2001. It’s not easy to watch these presentations but it’s important that we NEVER forget what happened that day. Never.
Be sure to have your speakers on while you watch these. You’ll also need to have flash installed on your computer.

Powerful stuff. Powerful.

The only thing that must be done with the animals that did this is destroy them and the people that support them.

As a teen and young adult, I watched those buildings go up. Now, in my middle years, I watched them come down. This is a beautiful memorial to that tragic day.

as someone who lost several family members that day i must say THANK YOU. it’s taken me this long to begin seeing footage and as much as it hurts it helps to know people have not forgotten those lost. not the victims but the heroes who died doing what they lived doing what they loved and lived for.

Thank you for reminding all Americans what we said that day, “WE WILL NEVER FORGET”. We must all remember, for it is THE reason why we are fighting this war on terror.

This is a remarkable Tribute to the brave men and woman who served our Country by responding to this unprovoked attack by enemies of ALL free societies. We must stand together all over the world regardless of our religious beliefs or Nationalities and fight this form of terrorism which is bent on placing us all into their religious bondage. We are in the midst of WW111 and most people have chosen to take a position of denial, we must recognize this treat for what it is and respond to destroy it now before it is too late. We must never forget the victims of 911 or any of the other attacks of terrorism that has taken lives around the globe in different Nations, their blood cries out for Justice. With the Lords help we shall ring the bell of Freedom throughout our world.

NEVER FORGET, NEVER FORGIVE!
Those cowardly, souless, evil bastards MUST be fought.
The only thing neccessary for evil to succeed is for good people to do nothing.
They cannot destroy our freedom, they cannot destroy the American Way.
I agree with Ron, he said it perfectly. A tear in my eye and a doubled up fist.
How DARE they do this to us, what the hell were they thinking?
Regardless of Religion or Ethnicity, we’re all Americans.
And Americans fight back.
Don’t poke the Eagle.

I would have given anything to see the expressions on these monsters faces when they crashed the planes, the smoke cleared and they were being welcomed by a laughing being with horns, a tail, and a pitchfork to Hell

I do see a semblance of this and the atomic bombing on the two japenese cities. Islam extremists declared war on us and attacked our fellow citizens. we attacked Japanese civilians and felt justified back then. We need understanding, not vengence.

Matthew - For you to compare US to Islamic extremists is beyond rediculous. Remember Pearl Harbor? We didn’t pick either fight. I have an idea, why don’t you go over to an Islamic country and try to reason with them, and ask why we can’t just all get along. I’m sure you’ll understand the answer when they yell “Allah Akbar!” and chop your head off. It’s people like you who will be this country’s downfall.

Thanks for the rememberances–since 9/11 I suffer fools less gladly-inane and vacuous comparisons between Americans and Islamic Fascists are the new standard for imbecility. Matthew needs help.
There can be no equivocating, there is no room for fence-sitting, on 9/11/2001 we were all reminded that Evil does exist, yet Evil can only thrive where good men say and do nothing.

It is nothing but sheer EVIL and must be confronted and defeated wherever we find it. There is no understanding of this outrageous evil act. There is no room for forgiveness in my heart…for those who would gladly do this to innocent people!

just as sad today as it was almost 5 years ago . . . I will never forget.

Remember “Bull” Halsey’s comments when he sailed back into Pearl with the ‘missing’ carriers after the Japanese had finished with their dirtywork “When we are finished, the only place the Japanese language will be spoken will be in hell.”

we purchased the patriot 9-11 series from grace broadcast sales for use on our 3 radio stations.this is the only other thing i have seen with a strong message that we are at war with someone that would kill and enslave with the same fervor
as hitler and his henchmen. wake up america or perish.

Hi, my name is Mark Pilato I created a sculpture for the families of
9/11, the title is \\\”Ascent\\\”. Ascent has been to Ground 0 and the
Pentagon, Lake Wawaka in the Catskills and is now at Saint Peters on
54th and Lexington in NYC, (http://www.saintpeters.org/). I am donating the sculptures when I find
the perfect home. I have been very moved by the response,
overwhelmed actually. Family members have been writing words plus
their loved ones names on the base of the sculpture with markers, I
then permanently inscribe them into the bronze. CitiGroup is
proposing making a permanent home for them out side saint Peters so
they can be seen from outside and inside the church. I spent three
years of my life making them, they come from my heart. I have had
the honor in talking with many family members and they all have felt
moved by Ascent and some have felt a since of healing by them. There
words will be with me always. The reason i am writing you is
because I would like to invite you to see Ascent at Saint Peters, if
you like them please let others know they can see them there as well.
Here are links to the sculpture plus a movie of the event at Saint
Paul\\\’s at Ground 0. There are four prayer boxes for anyone to place
words.
Try these links. I hope you like them.

We cannot forget. We are obligated to love and forgive our enemies, but we are not obligated to love and forgive those who come against God in a murderous attack.

Immensely moving! I wish the whole humankind had viewed the videos to be reminded of what happened on this day. Not because we need to remember what happened on this day but because we must remember what happened on this day to become conscious about malevolent men’s infinite capacity to inflict so much terror and pain.
