Eleven years later and the pain is still there. I want to forget but will never let myself. RIP to all those lost.

It would be nice to think that somehow the anniversary tomorrow will be above political gain, but in an election year, I'm skeptical. And that makes me sad.
My thoughts go out to you, Gus, and to others who were so personally affected by 9/11
Thanks Steelie.
God bless the souls lost on that horrific day.
I was just telling my son yesterday that when it happened, I felt the pull that so many others felt. To go to NYC and help. Rest in peace to all those lost. May you find peace to all those who survived.
The U.S.A. was a better place before 9/11. I wish we could return to those days.
R.I.P. to those who died on that fateful day.

...Except for those who crashed the planes. May theirs know eternal suffering & torment.
Actually, on second thought, they maybe didn't have souls in the first place...
a sad day to human history.
will not be forgotten
I can tell you 'Phro. you did not want to be in NYC that day. I tried to give blood and was turned away because there was no need...it is hard to fully accept the reason why here was no need, even now.
A truly horrible day that should never be forgotten by us or generations to come.
Still every time I see pictures or videos of that day the feelings of shock, sadness and anger well up inside me.
9/11 never made me emotional. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't shed a tear. I was in the area when it happened and I saw the burning towers before they collapsed, yet all I can still feel to this day is anger and hatred. Maybe one day I will be able to let go of this...
When I see pictures (https://www.google.com/search?q=September+11,+2001&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-Address&prmd=imvnsub&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=iDZPUITHLYSw0QG7-4CQBw&ved=0CD8QsAQ&biw=1084&bih=487) of that day, the anger always comes back. May the innocents who perished that day rest in peace.
I remember the first few anniversaries of 9/11 everyone would be flying their flags, but there were fewer every year. We should never forget.

I didn't emotional either that day. However, the next day, when I saw Queen Elizabeth had the band play the Star Spangled Banner during the changing of guard, I did.
Anger and hatred are emotions.
I remember my wife and I sitting stunned in front of the TV and watching it - we were both in tears. Its not something that we are ever likely to forget. One thing that makes me emotional is when you see the heroes that risked, and somtimes lost, thier lives in the attempt to rescue survivours, brave men and women indeed.
