Will never forget.
On that day I was working for Sprint in Lee's Summit, a suburb of Kansas City.
After the first tower got hit, I went to the network operations center to watch the news on a 20foot screen.
Watched the second tower get hit live on a 20 foot screen with about 150 other people watching same screen.

We will not forget those innocents that died. Most of us saw the 2nd impact and both building implosions on live tv. I did. We upgraded to AOL a few days ago and i saw the message first there, then on the tv. During the evening we walked to some low level antenna/supply depot of the US army (probably from eucom) and we left some condolence flowers at the gate, as some other people did. Guarding soldiers were nervous but nodded their heads friendly. During that time many of the US people lived outside the base in our cities so basically everyone had base people in the extended friends
But we forgot, and we forgot from the 9/12 until now to learn from our mistakes and to make good decisions.
It's painful to say but our democracies and our western values were more damaged by our own stupidity and arrogance than by acts of our enemies.
-I removed some 2page rabble rabble and leftyish critism-
It makes me angry and pessimistic what is happening in iraq, in afg and on many other places in the world were terror grows, and it makes me most angry that we could really do things a lot better.
