I'd Like To Make A Proposal...
« on: August 24, 2016, 02:23:31 pm »
As we are all aware of...15th anniv. of 9/11 is just right around the corner.

On Sept 11th I'm asking that we do the same for our own country as some have done for other countries recently when they have been victims of Radical Islam by changing our avatars.

But instead of using Old Glory as our avatar...we could use the from pages of the news papers from across the country (of from across the Pond for our friends from England) as our avitar...similiar to what I'm already doing.

That link provides thumbnails of hundreds of newspaper front pages. Find the one from your hometown or if your like me since mine isn't there...find the one that sums up best how you felt that day.

Just a thought.


Damn...15 years later and I still get tears in my eyes thinking about it.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

I remember that I felt shocked and yet numb at the same time.   Was in Dallas dealing with parental illness.   It was a day I'll never forget.

Wingnut, I have that book that your image is based on. It was produced a few months after 9/11 and has hundreds of the major newspaper covers in it.

I dug deep into the link @txradioguy posted and hopped from place to place and found that.  I found the pic of Lady Liberty standing tall and in the light in front of a NYC blacked by ash and debris so surreal.   What is the books name.  I was so many places I couldn't find it agian.

One of my old brigade commanders has his birthday on 9/11 as well. I'm sorry that you have to have such a historic tragic day counterbalance what should be a very happy day.

Oh and FWIW...I read somewhere that this years freshmen/sophomores will be the first high schoolers to have 9/11 taught to them as a history lesson as opposed to a current event.

This is what I saw that morning.  I was getting ready to go into work a bit late. Stood there with my toothbrush in my mouth for quite some time.  Horrifying pictures.

Had 4 immediate family members on active duty at the time.

Also, if memories are part of the thread, I was not far from having turned 18, in college, and a week before being employed the USPS.

I was heading to class that morning in my beat up old car and turned on the talk radio station as I typically did.  (Was in to talk radio from my pre teens).

It looked like a plane got lost and hit the building.

I remember what bridge I was driving on when the second plane hit live on air.  Almost drove off of it.

Can't find an image of the front page of any North Dakota Paper, much less the local one.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Minot nor Williston?  Hard to believe.

Lived up there for 6 months in 2014.

I checked Minot, Williston, Grand Forks, Fargo, Bismarck, and Dickinson. Maybe I just didn't look the right places, but no joy.

Nice idea.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

We were shopping in one of those general goods/knick knacks stores. The cashier, who was also the owner, used the store announcement system to tell us the first plane had hit. Got to the front of store, where a TV was showing the live broadcast, and we just watched, numb, until the second plane hit.  The owner lookked at us and said "I'm closing, people. Please leave."

Got home, got on the phone, and was re-upped an hour later.
