Tomorrow- September 11th

sonicsfan · September 10, 2002 6:25AM

Well its been almost one year now and here we stand in America
Tomorrow to me, I will have the memories with me from last year as before I got ready to go to school at 7:45 a.m. here, the news was on and said planes had just crashed into the Twin Towers...
And since then, it has made me a stronger American

mcdee2 · September 10, 2002 6:26AM

We at TR didnt forgot.. hopefully you checked out the slideshow cody. all photos submitted by TR members and prizes given out for some of the entries.

sonicsfan · September 10, 2002 6:36AM

knicks644 · September 10, 2002 6:42AM

how can we forget?

Freakasaurus · September 10, 2002 6:43AM

I was at the Pentagon that day, and some of the things you see just never leave you.

sonicsfan · September 10, 2002 6:44AM

yeah, of course we won't/can't forget

<< <i>I was at the Pentagon that day, and some of the things you see just never leave you. >>

Are you kidding me? You in the Pentagon? You have been a CU member for one day and you already have 93 posts! Do you even go to school?

Cut the crap!

pacmanssportscards · September 10, 2002 7:04AM

lmao ranch

Freakasaurus · September 10, 2002 7:05AM

ranch-

I thought I had met some jerks on here, but you take the cake. What part of "I was at the Pentagon" did you translate into "I was at school?"

knicks644 · September 10, 2002 7:05AM

93 post in one day!wow

pacmanssportscards · September 10, 2002 7:07AM

new record at the least

even beat me

blew 25 posts/day out of the water

sonicsfan · September 10, 2002 7:08AM

ok, cut the crap... this post is not about arguing

Freakasaurus · September 10, 2002 7:08AM

Hey, remember, I'm new to all this...it's ALL interesting to me. Check out this killer Tom Arnold joke pic I got in my sig!

AiRjOrDaN22 · September 10, 2002 7:09AM

How do you know he wasnt there ranch???

Freakasaurus · September 10, 2002 7:10AM

sonics, you're right, this should be a somber post of reflection, not more petty fights. I am sorry.

sonicsfan · September 10, 2002 7:13AM

yeah... it should be

Any1 has the freedom to post what they say about anything... but I dont want to see it on a September 11th post
So if u want to do that, post it anywhere besides our Sep. 11th post

pacmanssportscards · September 10, 2002 7:13AM

I apologize also. Tomorrow will be a very sad day for all......

ranch · September 10, 2002 7:14AM

Keep posting, Freak. We are all counting along with you...hey, I bet you can beat me in less than a week though I joined December 2001.

sonicsfan · September 10, 2002 7:16AM

yeah, one year without thousands of good innocent folks will be a sad day for the families and any1 affected by September 11th, all of us Americans should've / should be affected by it... and I can see other countries feeling sadness for it also

sonicsfan · September 10, 2002 7:17AM

I know I am affected by it and will always carry with me

Freakasaurus · September 10, 2002 7:17AM

I was there all day, and no one, especially a petty thug like ranch can take those memories away from me. I'm loooong since done with school.

sonicsfan, thinks for posting this here, nice to see someone has an sense of history.

sonicsfan · September 10, 2002 7:19AM

yeah
Were you working after it happened? or taking a tour?

Freakasaurus · September 10, 2002 7:21AM

I was working in the DEA building, which is right there on Army-Navy Boulevard. They told us to go home, but the metro and roads were so crammed, it wasn't worth it, so I stayed and took photos, and tried to help. Got to get pretty close.

In Memory of those who perished on 9/11

Our prayers go out to their families and friends.

-IF I KNEW-

If I knew it would be the last time

That I'd see you fall asleep,

I would tuck you in more tightly

And pray the Lord your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time

That I see you walk out the door,

I would give you a hug and kiss

And call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time

I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,

I would video tape each action and word,

so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time

I could spare an extra minute

To stop and say "I love you,"

Instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time

I would be there to share your day,

Well I'm sure you'll have so many more

So I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow

To makeup for an oversight,

And we always get a second chance

To make everything just right.

There will aways be another day

To say "I love you,"

And certainly there's another chance

to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,

And today is all I get,

I'd like to say how much I love you

And hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,

Young or old alike,

And today may be the last chance

You get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you are waiting for tomorrow,

Why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes,

You'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take the extra time

For a smile, a hug, or a kiss

And you were too busy to grant someone,

What turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,

And whisper in their ear,

Tell them how much you love them

And that you'll always hold them dear.

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"

"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."

And if tomorrow never comes,

You'll have no regrets about today.

Oh, ranch is a idiot which offers nuthin here but his so called"witty comments"

sonicsfan · September 10, 2002 7:24AM

i c...
You are lucky... but glad to see nothing happened bad to you besides emotions

ranch · September 10, 2002 7:25AM

<< <i>ok, cut the crap... this post is not about arguing >>

Sonicsfan, I just hate people who lie. Especially about things like this, it's pathetic!

<< <i>How do you know he wasnt there ranch??? >>

Good Lord! What have you been smoking, Airjordan22? Freak has been a CU member for 1 day and he won't stop posting! Plus look at the picture in his sig, do you think someone like that would be in the Pentagon? Remember, kids say the darndest things.

sonicsfan · September 10, 2002 7:30AM

Epag- that was good... thanks for posting it in this message

ranch- yeah, we all dont like lies, but if he's not lying or not, this is not really focused on it... focused on the topic

Freakasaurus · September 10, 2002 7:37AM

ranch, the pic in my signature is just something funny I found on another trading board. I think it's Tom Arnold. It sure doesn't give you the right to call me a liar.

Go ahead, ask me anything, jerk. Ask me about the smoking hole, or the man I saw a firefighter pull out by the jacket, whose jacket was melted to his skin, or the nearby Citgo station that became a command post for all the journalists, or the helicopters spread out over the east lawn of the Pentagon like toys. Ask me about the black woman whose cell phone I borrowed to call my Dad in Florida, or the ple of literally hundreds of homemade sandwhichs that went to waste because fireman didn't know iof they were safe.

Ask about the heroics of our fire chief, Ed Plaugher, or or police chief, Ed Flynn. Or the USA Today reporter I met, who the plane flew right over as he sat in traffic.

You better get your facts straight before you mouth ff and call people liars, you're not going to make a lot of freinds here.

Tomorrow- September 11th
