My most sincere coundolences DBW.

I know words in such circumstances can't do much to ease the pain and anger for such a loss, so I simply put a hand on your shoulder and remain silent with you.

May those cowards be brought to justice!

[wh1skea]

My heart and thoughts goes out to him, the other victims, and their families.

[Deepbluewolf]

Thanks guys for your kind words,

My purpose with this post is that not only is he not forgotten but that 9/11 is NOT forgotten.

9/11 is NOT about America, is about the World, this cowards care for nothing and spare no one in orther to achieve their evil purposes.

I AM Portuguese, and leave across the Ocean in a land that is quiet peacefull, yet this amazing tragedy came unanounced, and left devastation on my family.

He leaves a small son and a widow.

I Just wish for a chance to pay a low flying visit to some of those beasts.

I have seen Combat, i have seen man killled, I have fired my weapons many a time...yet i never felt HATE, RAGE yes, but never hate, for there is honor in combat, its man against man.
THIS is a war, but no combatt, for these are no man, and if i ever get a chance to fight them, it will be with the most extreme form of HATE, and with extreme prejudice i will send them to the Virgins awaiting them in paradise.

DeepBlue;

Truer words were never spoken.
While the attacks of September 11th took place in the United States and specifically N.Y.C. they were perpetrated against the world.
Those almost 3,000 people who were murdered on that day were from everywhere as shown by DBW's cousin.

DeepBlue, I want you to know something.....and it's something that eats away at every one of us who was able to walk away and go home the next day....I want you to know that we tried....we really, really tried to get everyone out. I'm sorry.
I will tell you this...if the chiefs had tried to tell us not to go in...that the buildings were going to collapse in 15 minutes, we would have told the chief..."we'll see you in 14 minutes and 30 seconds then". Nothing would have stopped us. That's the God's honest truth.
I've been able to come to grips with my "survivors guilt"...but many have not. You are only the second family member(outside of F.D.N.Y. members families) that I have had any contact with. The other, sadly enough, is my neighbor from across my street whose son-in-law was killed. I couldn't even face them for a month. They would see me leaving to go downtown to dig and I would put my head down and walk by. I did not know what to say, and I felt like I would lose it if I spoke and looked into their faces. I know it sounds odd, but I felt like I failed them and I kind of feel that way about it with you.
I know you are going to tell me no, it's not that way, and I mean no disrespect, but it doesn't change that.
I'm sorry for the rambling and I probably should have put it in a private message to you DeepBlue, but after reading this thread through a couple of times already, it brought back a flood of memories and emotions.
The father of one of the fireman killed spoke to us at his sons funeral. He said that with the way the buildings came down and the fact that we did not have masks to protect us that we each breathed in a little bit of everyone who perished there that day including his son....and that in a strange way they still lived through us. He said he wanted to hug his son one last time so would one of us come up there. EVERYONE of us went up there, in one of the most gut wrenching, but heartwarming things I have ever seen.....so DBW....just so you know, you're cousin Carlos lives in a way through thousands of us.
God bless him.

Knight,

YOU guys are heros, I have so many things i would like to say to you yet words fail me...My Aunts had the local Priest say Masses for you guys for 6 months. The local Fireman on my citty of 25.000 souls had a cerimony in which the Station Bell was rung Once for every missing fireman. The local Police wore Full Gala Uniform with Black arm band at the day the 9/11 cerimony was held.
But you should feel no guilt, you have walked , not into a burning building but into a war zone. For that is what it was, and soldiers are prepared for that, you were not, and that makes you a hero in my books.
I wish i could tell you this personaly, but rest assured many of my prayers were for you guys.
Knowing my cousin, he would probably refuse to be rescued anyway, and was probably helping others till the very end...that was him.

My cousin comes as I do from one of the oldest familys of my country, we have lost many Ancestors to battle or foe, and in my family Blood is never forgotten, somehow somewhere some of those turds are going to meet a relative of Carlos, and then be shown what the meaning of blood is in my family.

Carlos younger brother IS in Afghanistan, he's been there for a few years now, with the Portuguese contingent on NATO forces, he his a Comando, a sniper...from what i hear Carlos name is written on every bullet he fires...and WE never forgive nor forget. No quarter shall be given.

Carlos brother was on presidential duty, in the security team, as soon as he heard that we were to send troops there, he threatned to resign should he not be allowed to go, he pestered EVERYONE in goverment and in the service that he knew untill he got to go.

In my family we accept fate, we cry for the fallen and take care of the living.

I consider YOU guys as part of my family...

For you did your duty, you found him to be burried, so you did bring him back to us.

Thank you. And All your colleagues that have endangered themselfs to give us our loved ones.

As everyone says; ....that day must be remembered:

.......But for me that is not a problem: .......I can still remember every detail with crystal clarity; ......even though, like most of us, I watch "from a distance" via the media.

Every image is burned indelibly into my memory: ......I know that I will never be free of them.

I remember one bright spot; .......The phone call from my niece saying that she was OK: .....But I also remember her grief choked voice as she explained that half of her co-workers were "gone".

Of all the feelings I have on the issue, I can find words for only one of them: ...Impotent Rage. In all the times I have shouldered a weapon, I have never more passionately desired a clear target: ........And, of course, there isn't one; ....because the cowardly *******s do their business from dark places, like rats in a sewer.

I am pleased whenever it is announced that one of the known individuals has been taken down, ....but I do not feel elation: ......Because it didn't happen by my hand.

Like most I watched from afar also...I turn 30 this month and the two of you (DBW and Knight165) have me cry like a baby! Knight165 that is a very touching story.

Out of everything that happens in life, that is the one thing NO ONE WILL EVER FORGET!

Like I said in my previous post ... Speechless, but taps has gotten even louder, echoing throughout the World!
