We Swore to Remember

The US has completely forgotten, swept it under the rug, dropped to their knees, and begun fellating the Muslim world..... You may as well just hand them the keys at this point....

@RichieP, I think that the reaction has begun. World wide, the elites are finding out that the one-way ratchet is broken. And will adjust.

If God is a merciful god, then the reaction will be gentile. If not, then ""The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."

Amen.

We at my house haven't.

We even acknowledge all the people who died afterwards from that day, something the 'official' counts don't count. Deaths from suicides due to loss. Death from being exposed to the dust cloud during the collapse or from working on The Pile or from coming back to the area afterwards when it was supposedly 'safe' and wasn't.

It's like Agent Orange. When a Vet dies from Agent Orange nobody counts it as a death from the Vietnam war. But it is.

The broken shells that come back from conflict that, years or decades later die from the horrors they've seen aren't counted as victims of said conflicts. But they are. Major Whittlesey, leader of the WWI "Lost Battalion," was so shaken by what he saw that he decided to go for a stroll one day, while on an ocean liner, in the middle of the ocean. A great hero and leader, he couldn't live with what he saw. But he's not counted as a death from WWI.

Remember the fallen from that day in 2001. But also remember all the dead that followed after due to that day in 2001. And all that could have been but didn't/couldn't due to that day in 2001.

I remember. I lost friends in the Pentagon. Never forgive, never forget.

I'll hand them a bacon grease-dipped "lead ingot..."

The CO at my last billet in the Coast Guard lost his brother in the WTC that day. My cousin's friend, a NYC firefighter, switched shifts with a coworker that day. The coworker died in the collapse. It seemed EVEYRONE either lost someone in that event or knew someone who did. My dad worked on the 93rd floor of the WTC and was at work during the FIRST attempt to bring down the WTC back in the early 90's. No, I will NEVER forget nor forgive what those TERRORISTS did!!!

Keeping the memory of that day alive is only the first step. Keeping its meaning alive is the second.

When one in five members of Gen Z has a positive view of Osama Bin Laden, it is a major problem.

You know our educational establishment has either completely screwed the pooch in it's teaching of civics, or alternatively has succeeded wildly in pushing the progressive leftist America is evil theme onto today's kids.
