It is...You stay RIGHT THERE ON YOUR SOAPBOX, MISSY! It is because so many of us have come down from our soapboxes or never were on one, that our flags aren't at half-mast, that we think the 9/11 coverage is "overkill" and that 9/11 even happened in the first place.<br /><br />My family flew into Ronald Reagan six days prior to 9/11. I had not been to D.C. in 10 years, but I did recall from that prior visit how stringent the security was.<br /><br />My husband and I was preparing our older daughter for the extra security wands, baggage checks, etc. and was STUNNED how lax the security had become! We were waved through even after my shoe buckle set off the metal detector!<br /><br />Then, not even a week later, our nation, one of the most secure nations in the world, was attacked...not once, but four times; in ONE day!<br /><br />So, you stay on that soapbox. And, may we all take up a soapbox sermon each day so as not to become lax again!Dallas Clark, Reggie Wayne, and Peyton Annie Manninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968448901875158598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746458732224437326.post-54568442684004613182009-09-11T20:03:27.359-04:002009-09-11T20:03:27.359-04:00You can definitely stay on your soapbox as long as...You can definitely stay on your soapbox as long as you want! I went to school in upstate NY and knew a lot of people who lived in NYC. Sadly, a girl that lived down the hall from me my freshman year lost both her husband and her sister...they both worked for the same company in the WTC. I can't imagine what she went through that day and every September 11. I can't imagine what you went through living so close to it.<br /><br />God bless America!!!<br /><br />Pug hugs and kisses,<br />Vikki and the Pug PossePug Possehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08550121055747520044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746458732224437326.post-13448365525499607822009-09-11T17:25:54.523-04:002009-09-11T17:25:54.523-04:00Amen.

Can you believe that? He actually said to me "Its not like people talk about Pearl Harbor every year". UGH. YES, someone actally said that.

At that time Mom worked for the government in Colorado's largest government building so when we were told that trade centers and government buildings were being targeted I started to wonder "What if there is a plane headed for Colorado and the Taj (where Mom worked) right now?". It wasn't a good day.Jemima Jones Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18166031427030581781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746458732224437326.post-69819178771772511842009-09-11T13:13:38.955-04:002009-09-11T13:13:38.955-04:00Thank you for sharing your story with everyone.

I still can't believe it was 8 years ago that all of our lives changed and the way we think too. We will probably never have the care free totally safe feeling again.

I remember the days and weeks following 9/11 when the news stopped showing photos and video of the towers - saying that people had complained because it was so disturbing. Hopefully nothing of this magnitude will happen again - ever!<br /><br />GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!Brutus, Ellie, Pippa and Ottohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12679230768486909646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746458732224437326.post-74852508591172495792009-09-11T11:54:49.908-04:002009-09-11T11:54:49.908-04:00I think things like that show that people have beg...I think things like that show that people have begun to forget, unfortunately. That day seems more like a nightmare than reality, and I think you must be right about the difference between experiencing it up close vs. on a TV you could turn off if it got to be too much... It IS essential to sit down & think about it to keep the memories alive. I just hope that in the next 8 years we can do better service to ourselves, take care of the right things so that USA can get back to the roots and values that our founding fathers had in mind.BRUTUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11876504197398697370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8746458732224437326.post-35484950289368171652009-09-11T11:10:16.892-04:002009-09-11T11:10:16.892-04:00Yes, that was a very sad day and so far we have be...Yes, that was a very sad day and so far we have been kept safe since then. Hopefully our country wont have to experience anything like that again. I feel for the families that lost someone during this time. This should ALWAYS be a time of remembrance not a time of service.<br /><br />I love our country but am certainly nervous about our country, as far as our safety, finances and debt, morals and values, honest people running the government. Seems like we are being brought down from the inside now and headed towards socialism.<br />I am scared for my kids and grandkids futures, well off my sopabox too!!Scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12821524664278901347noreply@blogger.com
