MOMENT OF SILENCE

lugerholsterrepair · 09-11-2001, 01:01 PM

Fellow Americans...We all should , in our hearts, have a moment of silence in respect for the horrible attack today on our America. This may portend endless changes for us and our dearly held beliefs and traditions... God Bless America.

For those of you that have lost loved ones you have my heartfelt sympathy.

Jerry and Ellie Burney

Look to your Creator in our hour of need...

..even in the darkest hours we mustn't let fear and hate dominate our values, virtues and beliefs. This is truly a tragic day in the history of mankind. It illustrates how vulnerable our revered society is to fanatical acts of deranged militants. My thoughts and prayers go out for all of our people here in this great country. We are a strong nation and we will survive this and be stronger for it.

the last time America was attacked in such a fashion... the only difference was we knew who the enemy was!

And Pearl Harbor wasn't then on American soil and it was also a military target. Similar but different in so many ways.

I remember 12-7-41,"The day Of Infamy". This one hurts more. As we pray, let us all remember, as our forefathers taught us,"Keep Your Powder Dry".....Schwob

Watching the terrorism this morning was shocking, and the horror of it all is not over yet. I fear our way of life is about to change drastically, and usually this is not in our best interest. Our rights are going to be compromised more and more, and we must now, more than ever, protect our 2nd amendment rights. This is a terrible thing that has happened, but should not be that surprising. We, as a nation, and especially the younger generation, have taken our freedoms and privileges more and more for granted. We believed it could never happen here! We can not just stand by and be silent, but must stand up and voice our rights, not only against these murders, but against all groups that oppose our rights, and especially the right to own a firearm. I pray for all the families in this terrible crisis, and hope that perhaps it may, in some way, unite us, and make us appreciate more, just how great a country we have, and how great our privileges and freedoms are. Good luck to all!

My deepest condolences to the American nation.

IÃ¢??m speechless after seeing this on the Swedish news on the afternoon today.

I couldnÃ¢??t believe my eyes when I saw the second plane hit the tower, I still canÃ¢??t really understand it, I donÃ¢??t know if I ever will.

This is the first time since we allowed open shipping into Hiphong Harbor, that I've felt the use of nuclear weapons might be justified. All we have to due first is find the bastards.

Thor · 09-11-2001, 07:03 PM

Me too Tom, told Natalie today they have tactile ones that might be appropriate! Thor

Robert Wiggins · 09-11-2001, 07:16 PM

My deepest sympathy from Canada for those who may have had family at the WTC. From this horrific event let's hope that those countries with "Principles" will unite in standing with the U.S. and resolve to a "war against terrorism".

Dok · 09-11-2001, 07:45 PM

I would be very very worried right now, or maybe they're just too stupid to be worried...

But to quote Admiral Yakimoto after the bombing of Pearl Harbour... "I fear we have awoken a sleeping giant" and we solved that action by shoving FAT MAN and LITTLE BOY up their ass... We need the same response to these low lifes.

The giant may again be awake.

About the only thing we as a group can do at the moment is give blood it will be needed despritly in the next few days

Steve Lempitski · 09-11-2001, 08:10 PM

They started it BY GOD WE WILL FINISH IT!!! My sympathy to the victims.

Steve Lempitski · 09-11-2001, 08:13 PM

Thor · 09-11-2001, 09:12 PM

Steve, lets just hope we dont become complacent as the days go on, seems like people's resolve sometimes fades with the passing days. As soon as we are sure, we need to strike and strike VERY HARD. Thor

Jesse · 09-11-2001, 10:09 PM

I have the same feelings about this.

Don · 09-11-2001, 10:22 PM

When I went to a center in Ft. Worth that had been set up to donate blood. They turned me away because there were so many volunteers. It kind of reminded me of the guys waiting in line to volunteer after Pearl Harbor.

Bob Egan · 09-12-2001, 12:09 AM

The smoke of the World Trade Center is passing over my home,a friend was missing for several hours,my daughter narrowly escaped.To hell with goodness,committes,grand jurys,and all the legalistic mumbo-jumbo to which we seem to be addicted.A major American city has been bombed with terrible loss of life, that is WAR,whether we desire it or not and I pray to see the countries which aided and sheltered these terrorists converted to a NUCLEAR WASTELAND!!!!Enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
