Fellow eAmericans, today is a sad day for us all … One which for so long as well all shall live, will be remembered. First things first, while I may not be a RL American (😮 … I’m British …), 9/11 still struck me hard. It struck everyone hard because a lot of innocent people died this day in a needless act of aggression and propaganda for terrorists.

Ten years ago to the day, nearly 3,000 people were killed in terrorist attacks in America. 2,753 at the World Trade Centre … 184 at the Pentagon … 40 in the 4th airplane that thankfully, never managed to make its destination because of the selfless and brave passengers aboard. Al Qaeda didn’t take responsibility until 2004, but we all knew in our hearts, it was them. Bin Laden claimed responsibility and look what Karma did.

Today, while we all mourn those who died, and pay our respects to them, remember this – Nobody stands alone. Not even the homeless man on the street. Nationals from 70 different countries died that day, and all 70 of them stand besides you this very day, sharing the same ideals of peace and prosperity for all. Carry on standing tall America!

And standing tall is something we eAmericans are good at. We united under one banner when we were occupied, and we pushed out those smelly Indonesians … We stomped on those silly Hungarians … we slapped those power-hungry Polish and we slaughtered the pig disgusting Spaniards. Oh, and lets not forget the feeble attack from the waning Serbians. We forced them from our shores, all the while screaming “WE ARE AMERICA, F*** YOU!” America, I am proud of you, IRL and here.

To draw this article to a close, I have this to say – To those who lost loved ones, may peace find you eventually, and may you know that those who perished will never be forgotten. To the men and women who fight to right this grave wrong, you are forever in prayers for your safe return. To those who lost their lives in the atrocity and the subsequent war, may your souls be at rest and you will be remembered with the warmest of memories.
And lastly, to you who reads this: May you forget your grudges, anger and all ills and join your brothers and sisters of the world in remember the good.

God bless you all
JK

Here’s some comments I asked some friends for:

Kria Erikson -
I remember exactly when I found out. I had a friend that I knew since 1st grade, and was in 6th at the time, and his mom was supposed to be flying back from New York that day. Our school hadn't announced it to everyone, but he was in a different class from me and that teacher had found out and they were watching the coverage of it. So, when we switched classes the first thing he said to me was "they crashed planes into the world trade tower in new york and my mom was supposed to fly back today and I don't know what's going on'


Jack Mensley -
I remember the crash, but I was just too young to comprehend it. Down the road I realize its a catastrophy. All people realize this, but some people create consperacy. The fact that they believe the goverment caused it pisses me off. I don't hate consperacy theorists, but at a time where disaster has stricken and our nation is in mourning, I find it puzzling why they would jump to theories then to serve the nation. It would be better to aid the fellow citizens in their berivement then to try to find out why catastorphy struck.

September 11 is my birthday, nothing ever happens on my birthday, nobody important was born on it either. I was at work when it happened and started getting calls from my wife. I can listen to radio during the day, but could not see any tv coverage until I went home. I did realize that many things would change and worried about how many more might die in any follow up or retaliation. We were going to go out for dinner when I got home but instead ordered a pizza. As a government worker, I wondered what would be asked of us; several weeks later when the anthrax attacks took place, I guess I found out.


Mr Peanuts -
I was in 8th grade and it was scary because I didn't know what was going to happen next, wether we'd be at war or something and it was scary that the whole thing could just happen. Now time has passed and I think it's easy for people to distance themselves from the situation and not think about it. Obviously not for those who knew people who got hurt or died on that day


Axe Ccident –
I still remember that day like it was yesterday. Sitting in American History class of all places joking around with friends. An announcement came over the loudspeaker telling all teachers to turn the TV on. I remember it was like the whole world went silent and watched. It was like the world stopped spinning as we sat there and watched not knowing what was happening. I remember trying to figure out if this was real or not. There was an instant unity created in my classroom that day. No matter how different we were we sat there and watch together in shock, not as classmates, not as different groups, not even as Americans but as human beings. It doesn't matter who we are, or what country we come from, or what colour we are, we are all connected.

Shit sucked, moment of silence if you will.
