Thank you. Yes, older and wiser for sure. I very rarely drink anymore.

I also question my government a lot more than I did 20 years ago which is far healthier as well IMO

I was teaching, we watched all day. I am teaching it all day today, and yes I am still angry and my students know this and that is ok despite what some say. It is my last year as I will retire then who knows.
Netflix series and Adam M's list are great resources. Feel so bad for the family, especially the children who lost parents.

where your at a bug out boat might be more appropriate

I can't say I did any different though mine was a get home bag. if I wasn't safe in my 1873 brick house in rural WI where was I going to be safe

I was working late shift 10:30-7 , my wife had taken my 99 f150 to work , I had the 88 Lincoln town car.

I watched the news for a while before work

got my pistol together (before we had carry in WI and I didn't bring a gun to work much ) , loaded mags , bag of gear stashed in my car and filled up with gas , much like Y2K which I had done a lot of testing for in 1999 expected it to be a people issue or a supply line issue because of people.
people were nicer than ever the attack only extended to the planes they had the tv in the break room at work running news all day.

my wife was 7 months pregnant with our oldest who turns 20 in couple months

bush read cat in a hat with kids.....

Bush was incredible to maintain his composure in front of those children.

hang out with kids while the nation is attacked....great plan.

Do you mean like building 7, and a dozen similar questions out there?

Or why when the nation is being attacked the secret service left the potus in a place that anyone who cared about it would know where he was.....that school visit was public knowledge before 9/11.

The idea of a bug out bag wasnt in any of my circles head at the time but now I would probably do the same. All we wanted was blood. Most of us who hadnt signed up (most of us had dead end lives) signed up with in the next 18 months.

Must have known there was no threat or wanted him dead. And since they got the war and other things they wanted I don't believe that they wanted him dead.

I visited the memorial museum a few years ago. This is what is left of one of the fire trucks that had debris fall on it.

This is one of the reflecting pools outside in the exact spot of one of the towers once stood. Names of the fallen are inscribed into the granite edges all the way around.

I was in 9th grade government class teacher got a call from principle of what was going on in middle of phone conversation he said are you fing serious after that we watched the news . my dad picked me up an hour or 2 later we went home and got guns and stuff ready. . that was a lot for a 14 year old to take in that day not quit understanding what was happening

I remember being there in 2005 and the ruble was still a couple stories high in areas behind chain linked fence. Seeing the ruble hit me harder than the memorial but it was good to build and show our determination.

I was on a flight from Tenerife to Hamburg to go to a funeral as the wife of my best friend got killed in a car crash. I was wondering about all that security after getting off the plane till I saw the picture on the airport TV screens.

Thank you Adam. While most of them are about the WoT only one is about the actual attack.

Documentary called 9/11. I watch every documentary on 9/11 every year. The best thing I've ever done was go to the 9/11 Museum in New York. Prepare to spend all day there. And a slight tip buy tickets ahead of time you skip the line

My dad's friends daughter was working in the white house on 9/11

Settled on Tiger Cruise. Its a Disney movie and is cheesier than Wisconsin Football headgear. But.... My girls liked it.
My dad is coming up today. Wil probably watch World Trade Center or 12 Strong .
