OT 9/11 Remembered
 
Please watch this commercial Budweiser did after 9/11. They only aired it once so as not to benefit financially from it - they just wanted to acknowledge the tragic event . Never Forget!

I had just gotten off duty that morning and was outside doing yard work when my wife called me to the TV. I remember my first words to her were "A lot of firemen are going to die today". I'll never forget either... and I'll never forgive.

It is impossible for those who never spent so many years in the fire service such as me and thousands of others to understand what it means to lose a brother you never knew. I shed a tear when I see this video, it is so touching. May my brothers rest in peace.

I was working at GM Truck Assem & we built 3 trucks for free at work to replace those lost in the attack. We also took up a donation for the Red Cross. Ford & Chrysler also did something for charity. Your Foreign car companies didn't do spit for this tragedy. Maybe one did something but hardly compared to what the American companies did. Proud to see Budweiser do this comercial & had enough class to run it once so they didn't profit from this act of terrorism.

A touching video. May God look over all those who lost their lives, and their loved ones.

I was truly disappointed yesterday when driving around Carmel, and Northern Indianapolis. There were very few flags up, and it seems to me that too many have already forgotten how they felt that day. We were in California then, we got up around 5:30 and I was trying to comprehend how a plane could fly into the WTC when the second plane hit. Right then I knew that the world had changed. Right now I am worried because our leaders all condemn a pastor threatening to burn the Koran but get behind Muslims trying to build a mosque 2 blocks from ground zero. Thank God that our troops are second to none, now if we can just get some real leaders. sorry for the political rant, but it bothered me that we have such a short attention span.

I was also disappointed yesterday in the lack of flags at half staff. From my trip from southwestern Ohio to Terre Haute I saw many flags flying but only about 5% were lowered. The ones that really surprised me to be at full staff were 5 different fire stations and the Indiana National Guard near Shelbyville. How soon we forget. Thank you to all that serve and protect us. P.S.- I also notice flags not lowered every year on December 7, another important day of rememberance.

That was a class video regardless of what company created it.

What I think gets totally forgotten about the events of 9/11 is all the variety of people, nationalities, and occupations that were lost that day.

You have to respect those that lost thier lives helping. We also need to respect those that lost thier lives that just went to work that day and were trying to earn a living. Secretaries, Janitors, waiters, waitresses, shop owners, brokers, financial, computer people, communications, insurance, many occupations, many Americans and others lost thier lives.

Well said ThePurple73. That was one fo the saddest factors of 9/11. Most of the people lost that day were either innocent people who simply went to work that day or, people who went in to the buildings selflessly to help others escape. I always respected firefighters for what they do but my respect increased that day. Thanks to all who work in the public safety sector. RIP to all the innocent lives lost that horrible day.

Don't always believe what your fed. Learn to think for yourselves and draw your own conclusions. I implore everyone to go on YouTube and watch "Zeitgeist". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHiuaGJ46zo

Skip the 1st half hour to hear about the 9/11 stuff.

I too, will never forget.
