9/11 Tributes - September 11th 2001 Tributes & Memorials - "Lest We Forget"... To honor the lives that were taken in New York, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania on that horrible day, and the truly indomitable spirit of America we have seen in the days since 9/11/01. As a tribute to the human spirit we have seen in the faces and actions of those in New York, Washington D.C., Pennsylvania and throughout our nation during that time. The following presentations below feature a series of  video presentations, musical mixes, original songs, poems and images from the tragic events of Tuesday September 11, 2001 and the days following. Many of the tributes do not contain graphic or disturbing images, but images of the reality for the people affected by this horror, and images that show how our country and its citizens have shown their true American Spirit in the aftermath. Please watch the following presentations either alone, or with someone you love, and share this link with your friends and loved ones if you are moved by it in some way. I feel these presentations deserve to be shared with anyone that may need to be reminded of the frailty of our lives, the potential of great evil to thrust itself into our lives and also the great courage and sacrifices that many of our fellow Americans are willing to make for our fellow man. When you view the videos, many of these presentations will load enough to start playing, then continue to load while playing. As many of the images are synchronized to the music, I recommend you refresh the presentation after it is fully loaded so the synchronization will be maintained as it was produced. Bandwidth issues and demand will often cause some of the higher resolution and larger file video's to not play as produced on their first play. These 9/11 Tributes include Flash, Windows Media, MP3's and original poems -  all of which can be viewed below. September 11th 2010 - 9th Year Anniversary Arrives - Remembering the Innocent Thousands... As the 9th year anniversary of this murderous terrorist attack arrives, many people feel that the events of that day must never be forgotten. I hope in some way that in our 21st century where everything is expected yesterday and it seems that many of our attention spans are often less than the length of a 30 minute sitcom and are often defined by the length of a 140 character tweet. We will never... NEVER forget the cowardly and demonic acts that were perpetrated against our country, our freedoms and thousands of innocent lives. The fight for our freedom and the safety of ourselves, our loved ones and for our nations future is far from over. I am not seeking revenge, merely justice for those thousands of innocent lives taken by willful men, in pursuit of their own selfish agenda. Their cause was and is not just, nor is their cause and actions true to the word of ANY God or legitimate Prophet. We must remember every innocent victim and every brave rescuer who died in honor. We must always remember every family that still lives in grief.  We must remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls from the hero's on our airplanes and the funerals of innocent children and loving parents. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil, is that good men do nothing" ... These "men"  that may call themselves "The voices of Islam" or "The Messengers of Muhammad" or "Scholars of the Koran / Qur'an" are far, far from that. They use the Koran's Sura's and the Sunnah and Hadith's of Muhammad that describe and advocate violence against others, in giving their own actions some sort of "God Sanctioned" merit. They are evil, self-serving sociopaths wishing to impose THEIR own twisted beliefs and will on all others in the name of their own misguided interests. They expound their messages with religious interpretations that will only support their own twisted ideology and agendas. Show me the levels of freedom, human dignity and value for another humans life in any part of the world where these "men" have resided, exerted influence, governed or ruled, and you will see only a bleak and unforgiving climate of subjugation, distrust, lack of freedoms, hate and often non-stop violence. 9/11/09 - I GIVE CREDIT TO THE CITIZENS OF THE U.S.A. - On each Anniversary of 9/11, I believe we all are seeing the Dignity, Love and Respect shown for the innocent thousands, First Responders and families of 9/11 victims... NO chanting for "Death to Islam" or "Death to Muslims" - NO burning of other nations flags. Just respectful displays of reverence and remembrance for the many victims and their families. The United States & our citizens certainly are not perfect, but I for one am proud of the national show of dignity in remembrance that I see my fellow citizens display on each anniversary of September 11th 2001. A great wrong was perpetrated against us and our nation. We must see justice meted out to all of those that participated in this long planned murderous attack.  We must bring great power to bear in seeing that all of those that actively attempt to destroy us and our nation are shown that their limited time on this earth would be better spent in trying to fix their own problems from within and thru civilized means and not thru the actions of terrorism and murder against others.
