Sobering Reality regarding 9-11

Think of this:

It is estimated that 27% of the US population is under the age of 20. Among this age group, the oldest kids at the time would have been 9. Today's 16 year olds were only five when the attacks on the World Trade Center, Pentagon and Flight 93 occured. Most of them do not remember anything about the event. They have no emotional ties.

We do well to remember this event, and to teach our children, lest history repeat itself.

Re: Sobering Reality regarding 9-11

Sadly, many (although thankfully not most anymore)
60 year olds are clueless about the events of 9/11.
Still think "terrorists" did it? Did you know that the
Bushs stay with the Bin Ladens, whenever they
go to Saudi Arabia? Don't get me started; but please
don't pretend the party line is the truth.

Most of us would do well to get a clue
about what really happened in the first place.

Re: Sobering Reality regarding 9-11

A couple of days ago I stumbled across a Fox news special from last year commermating 9-11. They chronologically went through the attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade center as well as the 3rd plane that crashed in PA.

They had a lot of amazing video footage following the series of events at the World Trade Center and I had forgotten just how terrible it all was. Time causes the magnitude of it all to fade a little and everybody ought to watch one of these documentaries to keep it fresh.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Yup. Don't miss how the Air Force,
or Army Air or something, supposedly
were doing "exercises" over the whole
Eastern US, but couldn't get a jet into
any of the affected areas...priceless.
Not a single jet in the air anywhere.

But BAM, just keep watching Fox News.
