scubado Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 This year is the 10th aniversery of the 9/11 attacks on the USA. Anyone planning a display? I'm planning a simple animated display. Any song suggestions in case I decide to add some music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan.a Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I think that is great,.. A Budweiser commercial that aired only on the first anniversary of 9/11. It was not to promote their product ,not make any profits. not to benefit financially from it - they just wanted to acknowledge the tragic event. it was a tribute to those who were lost.as far as a song, it is The Priest And The Matador by Senses Fail.here is a video, but it is graffic... just remember those who gave their life, for us...Evan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddmoon Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Many emergency responders use red and yellow lights. If anyone decides to do a display I think Red and Yellow as well as blue for law enforcement.Those that died that day were there to help save lives and gave their own in the process.There were many lessons that those of us in emergency services have tried to learn from there tragic loss. What is often hard is that many of the things that went wrong that day are still issues even 10 years later. Communication was a major problem that day. Playing some tapes from the initial calls and video feeds, some patriotic songs maybe if anyone does go for a tribute.That was a really tough day for the world and Americans. At our lowest point we were our best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to have a projector and play these videos to go with the lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just showed up.Mayor Michael Bloomberg confirmed that many firefighters, police officers, medics and volunteers who responded to the 9/11 attack will not be able to attend the Ground Zero ceremony commemorating the 10th anniversary.Watch News coverage of Mayor Bloomberg saying this:http://www.myfoxny.com/dpp/news/911-ground-zero-ceremony-controversy-20110818#ixzz1VW2KhWR3As much as I'm hated on the LOR forum, I just wanted to put my 2 cents in, and pass on the information, we were told.

If space really is the issue, kick the media out along with the politicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddmoon Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 As a fire fighter myself 9/11 was a really hard day in so many ways. Watching several of the programs that have been on today has been really hard to watch and remember.Many have forgotten but not all. My flag has been out all day and I will never forget. There were many lessons learned from that tragic day and hopefully all who serve in Fire, EMS, and Police will never forget the lessons learned from that tragic day.

With a father in WWII and now a son-in-law in the Army, I also salute all who have served and are now serving. We owe them everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
