*** 17th Anniversary of a Day of Infamy
Today is the 17th Anniversary of a Day that will live in infamy for our generation. It is so difficult to think it has been that long since the cowardly attack by Terrorists against Two locations here in the United States and the thwarting of a third attack by the passengers of an airliner at the cost of their lives. We now have teenagers that were not born at the time of these attacks. My eldest Godson was actually born 13 days after this happened. This generation has no concept of what things were like pre 9/11. For me the decade after 9/11 was the most intense of my military career , with heart ache, loss of dear friends, ultimately a divorce and it changed me more than anything else in my life. I think it is important to remember the victims, the Police, Fireman and others that ran towards the “troubles” while prudent people tried to escape. Unfortunately many of them paid for that dedication with their lives. Of the 2,977 people killed in the September 11 attacks, 414 were emergency workers in New York City who responded to the World Trade Center. This included:
341 firefighters and 2 paramedics from the New York City Fire Department (FDNY);[1]

37 police officers from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department (PAPD);[2]
23 police officers from the New York City Police Department (NYPD);[3] and
8 emergency medical technicians and paramedics from private hospital units dispatched through the 911 system, as well as commercial ambulance groups brought in under "mutual aid" for this disaster emergency medical services.[4][5]
3 New York State Court Officers[6]
Let us take some time, no matter your country of origin and remember these brave souls and pass their legend on to our . And of course a prayer for the innocents that died that day.

Timeline of the action that day


Rushing to the incident, while others escaped

Father Mychal Judge, Fire Department Chaplain, who paid the ultimate price for his service that day

Helping rescues


Twin Towers before

Twin Towers when struck

They are angels amongst us, I truly believe they still look over us


That fateful field in Pennsylvania, a Memorial to the Passengers Courage, avoiding even more deaths

The Pentagon

Teach our about service before self and the true meaning of courage

 Pearl Harbor and September the 11th 2001 are truly days of infamy

 I wonder if those who don't remember this tragic day (or were born after it), can truly understand the way this forever changed the world.

It's almost impossible to capture my feelings in words.
Check out my profile or and become a "watcher" of my blog FMAOPLS,to learn more about me, and for intelligent, lively, smartassy and fun discussion, with a little irreverence thrown in. "Like" or comment on my photos, and I promise I'll add more. Thanks.

 That was a very tragic day in our history and my heart still goes out to those we lost and to the survivors and to those who worked so diligently to help.

 Thank you for your service.

My youngest was 6. He really didn't understand the impact of the events of that day, though he witness the grief of the adults in his life. Now, as a firefighter, he has a reverence for the day, and usually participates in a local remembrance led by fire departments. He is a strong young man, but this event makes him emotional. He is pretty amazing.
