Wow did we forget 9/11

[PaulMys]

God Bless America and those who were hurt or killed in the towers, Pentagon, PA and all those who gave their lives or nearly gave their lives trying to save humans of all different backgrounds. Hopefully today can bring a little remembrance of that terrible day as well as remembrance that we are much stronger when we unite with each other than when we divide and split.

edit:
Didn’t post much the last few days due to being on vacation in the great state of NY! Back now though, got a car wash in, and glad to be back in forum mode.

Which part of Tax Central... uhhh I mean NY did you vacation in? Lol

First saw some family in Syracuse area and then 4 days in Watkins Glen on beautiful Seneca Lake. My son got his first legitimate hike in. And saw lots of waterfalls. Wife drank lots of NY wines. I ate lots of food. And drove the BMW in a lot of cool forest areas. The 21’ wheels did pretty well, all things considered.

Upstate NY is stunningly beautiful.

Glad you guys had a good time.

Besides the memorial, you wouldn’t even know all the destruction occurred. Everything is shiny and nice. And I love the new tower but I also had a special love for the twin towers in the skyline ever since my first visit to NYC in 2000, seeing them from atop the Empire State Building observation deck.

Thanks for that personal story, I wish I could've seen all that

I was there in December and did just that. Glad I got in before the virus!

>>>I shall never forget.<<<

My prayer is that the below artifact
will always serve not only as a somber
reminder of that god-awful, cataclysmic
day; but, also that ‘history’ won’t find a
way to repeat itself.

I got to see the destruction on ground zero a little while after it happened and then later saw the rebuilt stuff. Amazing to see how it was rebuilt but the site still has a very sad feeling, regardless of how nice it looks today. I never saw the twin towers standing

Thanks for mentioning the feeling, it just hit me. I can agree with the sad feeling in the area, unsure if it’s just me or if it’s local NYers too. The times I’ve visited that vicinity everything has been more quiet than the rest of the vibrant city. And obviously a lot of serious faces when you’re at the actual site.

I'll always remember walking around the tower bases in the concourse and looking up. Enough to make you dizzy, and be in awe of how mankind can even construct something that massive.

The memorial pools, to me, are very fitting. Two big holes like the ones you have in your heart for the victims and the landmark towers.

it's just amazing and mind blowing how those buildings in NY were constructed early on...

Not American, Canadian here but regardless, not a day I'd ever forget. 9/11 is what prompted me to join the military when I got old enough, I was in grade school at the time and realised having lived a life of blissful ignorance up until that point that some people in the world have a lead deficiency.
