911

Today marks the eighth year anniversary of September 11th.  Mourners observed a moment of silence at ground zero which is where the World Trade Center once stood.

Today is the first time that 9/11 is marked as a national holiday:

The nation marked the eighth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks by honoring the spirit of those who rushed forward to help, from sifting through the fiery rubble at ground zero to sending supplies from thousands of miles away.

Friday was the first time the anniversary was observed as a national day of service, following an order signed this year by President Barack Obama.

The President and the First Lady also observed a moment of silence outside the White House this morning and in addition the President will also make remarks and participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Pentagon.

  • Miss Tonic

    Oh wow, RESPECT from the Netherlands for Mr. Florida for fighting for his country BE SAFE BRO !!!
    And to all the familymembers of the victims, firefighters, policemen who have lost their lives trough this tragedy……

    If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane,
    We would walk all the way to Heaven, to bring you home again
    No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye
    You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why
    Our hearts ache in sadness, and secret tears will flow
    What is meant to lose you, no one will ever know

  • MirsMommy

    RIP to all the victims, and for their surviving families, continue to be strong.

    MR FLORIDA, you will be in my prayers, and thank you.

  • josh

    The govt didnt do 9/11, they just had intelligence about it but didnt act on it.
    Conspiracy theorists need to sit down.

    Good luck Mr Florida, hope to see you back in 6.

    R.I.P to all the fallen victims. I pray that God has began to settle their loved ones hearts and minds. That day i saw Americans stand together, because that day it didnt matter what culture, race, religion one descended from. The 911 attacks gave a clear example of the human race. We all cry, we all bleed, we all die. Meaning we are one in the same. It’s horrible that it took a tragedy such as that to resonate a glimmer of respect for our fellow man. Hurricane Katrina…..not so. Anywho, REST IN PEACE to all who lost their lives.

    Thoughts and prayers to all the familes who was effected by 9/11 (physically)……………

    I remeber being in the 10th grade geometry class. I had to use the restroom so the teacher wrote me a pass to do so. As I walked down the halls I looked in the classrooms (being noisy) and I saw teachers and students gathered around their television sets. Some was crying and others were holding hands consoling each other. I thought wr had a death in the school until I got back to the classroom and checked my cellphone. I had several missed calls all from my mom and text messages from friends in other classes telling me what was happening. I cried i thought the world was over. I never even told the class, they found out when the bell rung. We live in Florida and we were traumatized as if we were hit directly so I can only imagine what the people of New York and others were going through I still can’t imagine being there 8 years ago.

    Sorry for the long post

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals—Pimpin, Platinum style!!! J-Hud’s concert was OFF THE MEAT RACK!!!!!!!!!

    I went home several weeks after this tragedy. We went downtown Manhattan because I wanted to see for myself the after effects.

    Walking the streets of Manhattan that day gave me one of the most eerie feelings I ever encountered.

    Looking at all of the posters of people who were lost–”Have you seen my daughter, my son”

    Man…………………………!
