Remembering 911

Today is the fourth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon by the Islamist terrorist group al Qaeda.

Steven Taylor posts his recollections of the day, which closer mirror my own since we were working in the same office at the time.

Elsewhere:

  • Michele Catalano rescues her contemporaneous thougts from the memory hole.
  • Jay Tea compares and contrasts the 911 attacks and Hurricane Katrina.
  • Chris Muir, too–in cartoon form.
  • Jen posts a photo and President Bush’s remarks at the National Day of Prayer three days later.
  • Bill Quick calls for a National Day of Rage.
  • Jawa Report is having a caption contest with no winners.
  • Matt at Blackfive has a poem.
  • Stephen Green looks at the bright side of life.

  5. In Prayerful Memory

    I think these words ring very true. It is hard to forgive but I think we need to at least pray that no more violence like 9-11 ever happens again. God bless America.

    This is a 5-minute video memorial. No burning buildings, no rubble, no explosions, no speeches, no screeches, no Bin Laden, no bodies.
