9-11 is about heroes!

We are a bit surprised to read this:

"The Obama administration and its progressive allies have launched a secret initiative to "rebrand" the events of 9/11, conservatives warn, turning it into a more Democratic-friendly day of national service and discarding the "Patriot Day" memorials promoted by the Bush administration." (David A. Patten)

What genius came up with "re-branding 9-11"? Could it be the same one who hired Van Jones?

Let's be very clear:

We remember our fallen heroes.

We remember the widows and orphans.

Our # 2 son remembers 9-11 and 7th grade 09/10 by Silvio Canto Jr | Politics Conservative Podcasts:

We mark another anniversary of 9/11, the most significant day of our generation.

My biggest “9/11 morning memory” was thinking about my wife, three sons in school and everybody else in the family.

I remember watching the second plane hit the tower around 8 A.M. central time.  It was absolutely stunning to watch two passenger planes hit the World Trade Center.  By the way, I had been in those building for business calls several times.  I recall the stunning views from an office in one of the upper floors.

A few minutes later, my wife walked in from taking the boys to school.

I told my wife that something bad was happening and that we should be prepared for picking up the kids in school at a moment’s  notice.

Like most fathers, I was concerned that there were other attacks pending and specially in a major city like Dallas.  We have lots of tall buildings and a nuclear plant in the area.

It was a very scary day and one that brought a lot of families together.  It certainly made us appreciate each other and the value of human life.

My worst memory of that day was watching people jump to their deaths.  It was heartbreaking to watch human beings choose between jumping from the 90th floor or burning to death.  

9/11…. it seems like it was just yesterday!

Last but not least, we were very lucky that day that President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney were at the helm.  I believe that their reaction and commitment to defending the homeland were superb.

9-11: Remember the second plane?

Back on September 11, 2001, I went jogging early and did my early morning routine. 

At 7:45 am, I turned on The Bloomberg TV channel to catch the overnight business reports before driving to work.   To my surprise, they had a picture of one of the Twin Towers in smoke. 

About 15 minutes later, I watched an aircraft hit the second tower.   

At that moment, it became clear that this was not an accident but rather an attack on the US.

Today, let's remember the families and that awful day in 2001.
