      Watching the tribute, it makes me realize how people's views have changed over the years. How people seem to be against the war now. Another attack would change people's minds again. God bless all those who have died because of this attack on America. ... ... ...
      Yea, people forget fast. When the attack happened, everyone was in full support of getting those responsible. As the years go by, people forget and become complaisant again.

      Not even 10 years later, people want to pretend it never happened, and protest the wars.

      We're just begging for another attack with our complacency. And I believe it will come sooner or later...

      Never forget!

              11 years...

              I was 29 then, 40 now. My daughter is 6, life rolls on. Troops in Afghanistan will come home in 2014 I believe.

                And Bin Laden is dead.

                No reason to forget but, he is dead.

                  Funny thing about Bin Laden, the cemeteries are filled with 'unique' and 'irreplaceable' people.
                  9/11 was much bigger than this one person. The holocaust was much bigger than Hitler. It's not a pyramid, it's not a chicken you can cut her head off. It's nowhere near over. Bin Laden is dead, great. But there are thousands of others no less capable who are racing to take his place.

                    Every time 9/11 comes around, I think of this thread. I hope everyone is doing well

                      It was tough, again because we knew folks in the towers, but we got through it. Now we have even more extended family suiting up for the actions against IS.
