My father went too the memorial services for 9-11 this morning. He has 2 services he has to go for the fire dept today. Its still tough knowing the people you knew.
Nine years have passed already. Doesn't seem possible. Too many people have forgotten what happened on that day and the loss of so many innocent people that were just going to work like any other day . We should never forgett 9-11 and the FDNY, NYPD and others that risked or gave their lives to help others that day.

We'll be Friends till we're old and senile.... then we'll be New Friends.
I was there on that day, the things I've seen and heard, changed me forever....I walk past the site almost everyday, and I don't think twice about it....but when I am here on this day, as I am today , all of the emotions come flooding back as if it were yesterday...
It is a very emotional day for me...especially each time there is a moment of silence...
God Bless all those we lost this day, there families, there friends, and everyone effected by today's tragic events...NEVER FORGET!!!!!

i am at a loss for words on 911 all i have in me is sorrow for my family , friends and all that loss thier life on 911. other than that i have words of hate for the people who killed them
God Bless those who died on 9/11. What a sad and mournful day Yes, but also a day to remember HATE is what brought the Twin Towers Down HATE is what divides what SHOULD be united...
I watched the entire reading of names from A to Z and did not find ONE thing to complain about.. It's a Memorial Service... and if the person reading HIS brothers name, wants to point out who is favorite team is... I say let him do it!!! It brought the personality of the person lost forever to the reading, instead of just hearing a name..
I cried yesterday, when I heard the poem read by the women who's brother was a Star wars fan.. I couldn't control my tears when she raised her hand and said "May the force be with you" .. I mean come on people... Yes could it have been better... Yeah.. But how on earth can there be a complaint??? You do what you want when you are remembering YOUR loved one, and you do what THEY would have wanted... Not what the majority would LIKE to see... or what EVERYONE else thinks is politically correct for a Memorial Service.

I must agree with Angela on this....although I did not watch it on tv...I watched it in person....And to me, the "Let's go Giants" in memory of his loved one, was a MUCH needed chuckle to break up the emotions and tears and sadness of the day...it is there time to speak on behalf of there family/friends that have past, so no matter what they have to say it is what should be said...
I was more upset over the people trying to sell shirts, or flags right across the street, or one guy that wanted attention by bringing a huge heavy cross that said "In God We Trust" a good thing perhaps in the eyes of some, but to me it's just a person looking for attention.....Yesterday Should not have been about A Mosque they want to build 2 blocks from the site, or about some Preacher from Florida, or Protests...it should be about all we lost that day, and a reflection on how to live each day as if it were your last...
