9/11: In remembrance of those that died

[Darth Silenoz]

this is not ment against you, but no Matter why they joined up, in the end a soldier is someone killing the other guy, and that is not something to be celebrated, at least in my humble opinion.
Not saying anything like that, just that soldiers should not be handed that label for being part of the military.

Anyway I said my piece, and won't drag this out in this thread.

Would you prefer they didn't kill "the other guy" so that they can grow stronger and attack you?
Someone willing to sign up for possible death to protect your country and allies seems pretty heroic to me.

Thank you for your service and for sharing Infinit01.

It is not What they have to do that is celebrated, it is the fact they are willing to do it.  Soldiers are men and women who sacrifice their time, health and too many times their lives in service.  That is what is celebrated and why we say thank you.  We thank them for doing something many either won't or can't do.

Thank you for your support, Silenoz.

Couldn't put it any better than I can, thanks Tepes. Have a point.

I work nights so was asleep when the first plane hit, I had gotten up and started getting ready for my 2nd job when I turned on the TV and was watching when the 2nd plane hit. There are no words how you feel when you see something like that.

I was 10 years into my law enforcement career when this happened. So it didn't change my career path, but I knew I was where I belonged.

Thanks to any and all who have served this country during times of war and piece. Of not for these men and women we could not live in a free country. All of them are heroes and deserve our praise!!

I was 1 when the attack happened, so I do not remember it personally. I do remember hearing about it every year for as long as I can remember though. Thank you for sharing your story Infinit (and the rest who did as well), but I especailly want to thank you for being willing to serve our country. For me joining the military isn't about the kill count or anything like that, it is about being willing to sacrifice yourself for the freedoms and privileges this nation has known. So thank you Infinit for protecting our nation, and thank you everyone else who reads this that is in the military. I know the police isn't technically the military, but they too are fighting to protect our nation, so thank you tx and anyone else who is a police officer.

Thank you for sharing that, Tx. I know it must have been a nightmare waking up to something like that. Thank you for being a protector of the piece, it’s not easy being an officer of the law.  People served in different ways ranging from officers to fire fighter as well as any civil servant who places their lives on the line in moments like this.

Thank you for your support, Taegin.  Watching the horror 17 years ago gave me morivento join and my job choices weren’t originally combat. I chose network engineer, intel, and an air craft mechanic but the Marines don’t guarantee your job and halfway into basic, all of my job choices were taken given that it was at the beginning of the war. 

No, I’m not parading around taking someone’s life nor celebrating it, I wanted to serve my country and I made use of receiveing the short end of the stick as far as jobs are concerned.

Thank you again, Tx. Being a police officer is one of those jobs that are thankless for the most part.

Thank you for your support, Mav and thank your family for serving for generations.
