Re: I Will Never Forget
I grew up in New York City, and remember well when the WTC was built. Tallest buildings in the world at the time. My father worked 22 years in the Port Authority police force (the jurisdiction at the towers); he and I (he more than I) have been in them countless times. Like Vax, seeing the skyline from NJ (where I also lived for 5 years) without them is still surreal.
I'm usually not at a loss for words, but all I seemed able to manage that day was something along the lines of "there's no f-ing way". I did not want it to be real.
The "people" who committed the act are assholes. Let's not generalize and lump ALL of any <religion/race/ethnicity/any other trait> in with them.
peace.
