I still remember September 11th as if it were yesterday. When it happened I was in Baltimore, Maryland and was in a waiting room watching the first Twin Tower hit by the plane. At first, like everyone else, I thought it was just a terrible accident, but then when the second one hit I knew there was something more to this - the rest was history.

I remember the day very well. My sister was moving and we started the day with it. At first I thought it was a film but as I switched channels, it was everywhere and I began to realise what it would mean. Our televisions were saturated with it. It was incredibly moving and surreal. Even on the other side of the world, we were affected. Then the incredible stories started with heroics and the pages of innocent people who had passed away. This should never be forgotten.

It was a terrible day for America. What followed wasn't just the deaths and destruction of that day but several invasions, and expansion of war as never seen before and many more that die against global terrorism and a hatred of Americans.

I was working on a building remodel in the middle of Texas when 911 happened. We listened to the radio after that for days at the jobsite. I shake my head at myself for how long it took me to realize it was an inside job and that the main stream media cannot be trusted in the least. The work of bringing closure and justice must continue y o you t you. B e / n3xgjxJwedA
Declassified 9/11 pages show ties to former Saudi ambassador
The 28 pages of newly declassified material from the 9/11 Commission released Friday by Congress show multiple links to associates of Saudi Arabian Prince Bandar, the former longtime ambassador to the United States. The pages, sent to Congress by the Obama administration, have been the subject of much speculation over what they might reveal about the Saudi government's involvement in the attacks masterminded by terrorist Osama bin Laden when he led al-Qaeda. The pages were used by the 9/11 Commission as part of its investigation into the intelligence failures leading up to the attacks. Ref. USAToday.
