Thanks Ann: The tribute was difficult to watch for the memories it stirred. Those feelings of that day will always be there, and never diminish with time or circumstance. In hindsight we can look back with pride for the heroes and heroines who we never got a chance to appreciate while they lived. Sort of took them for granted, that if we needed them they would be there. Well when we needed them, they came. They gave thier all and then some. It's that attitude that will get us through these terror wars. It's really amazing when you think of it that people who have such a good life, who have so much to live for, will sacrifice it all because they believe in duty and honor and compassion for thier fellows. It was true on 9/11 and our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, and all the little he11 holes we never here about, carry on that tradition. I think our enemies see us as whimps and I guess they just never got to know us well enough to realize that we just didn't want to bother with them or "inflict" our ways on them. Well they are out there, and will keep on doing what they do so well, until they are eliminated. The spirit shown on 9/11 is what they never counted on. I don't think any of us is thinking about giving up and letting the Taliban rule this country, but a reminder like the one you posted is good to stiffen up some less than firm backbones.

I wonder if the scenes of 9/11 are as motivating to our generation as the pictures of Pearl Harbor were to our parents (grandparents) generation?
