If we focus on our similarities more than our differences we would be. However if we don't, we will become tribal like in some middle eastern countries where the mere mention of their group causes anger & violence. smh
This was a world tragedy on that day. There were 316 foreign nationals, from 84 different countries, including 67 of your fellow Brits, who lost their lives.
Absolutely worth remembering. Also I feel like it has been lost over the years but the response was not purely a local one first responders came from every single state to help and were at Ground Zero. It is also worth remembering (no matter how sobering the thought might be) is that the attacks are still claiming lives to this day people are dying from cancers and other illnesses they received down in the wreckage 20 years later when it is all said and done the loss of life from diseases and other health impacts will likely outnumber the causalities from the attack itself (if they don't already).
yeah well they were dual citizens. they werent one country nationals in that building. and the far majority of deaths were born and raised americans. some countries used their like 60 people who died to condemn the attacks but they didnt acknowledge the other 2,600 others who were americans.
I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself because I’m alone on Christmas because I tested positive for covid and then watched this. I remember it all to well, my kids were little and we were horrified. So thank you for helping me realize… I’m good! I remembered today that some people never make it home. So Merry 🎄 Christmas everyone. So grateful to be here. 🙏🏻❤️
I'm here alone on Christmas for the same reason. Watching this video reminded me of how unified our country felt during that time. I was only 9 but I remember it so well. It's a good thing to remember what we are capable of. Merry Christmas I hope you feel better!
I'm in the same boat. Thought I was only suffering a mild cold. Tested since I was going to be around my older parents: Hello, Omicron. Haha Thankfully it really has been little more than a mild cold. Merry Christmas everyone!
20 years hasn’t erased one bit of what I felt that day. Stood there staring at the screen so long that I missed the bus to school. Watched it all in real time. There was an actual feeling of unity after that for a while, and it’s a shame how far we’ve grown apart. It takes a tragedy. It shouldn’t. If I see violence or injustice happening to someone, it doesn’t matter their politics/ideology.
I'm with you Doobie, not one bit of how I felt that day has changed. Those images are burned in our minds, those emotions we felt have become a part of us. We lived in a Marine Corp base town at the time, maybe 5 miles from the base and all I could think about besides the poor families left devestated was are they going to target military towns next or what part of our country might be next, is it over, is there more to come, will we wake up tomorrow. The terror we all felt is indescribable. Be blessed Doobie.
Most Americans are plenty happy with each other.. Unfortunately you don't see this represented in our media, politics, journalism, academia, etc.. It's easy to gain power by pitting people against each other, unfortunately there are certain groups and political figures who've found that identity politics is way easier than actually trying to fix issues that are consequencial. The average American just wants to live and be prosperous, and I believe they want the same for their fellow citizens..
I was in London on a business trip this day. I will never forget the kindness and support from the British people I experienced. Two weeks later after I finally made it home I learned of a dear friend that died that day...miss you Marty. #Never forget
That is so neat that a faraway place such as your village takes time to remember 9/11 each year. From an American, thank you! In the US, we have a special flag you can buy called “The Flag of Honor.” This flag has the names of all the victims printed on it in such a way that their names form the US national flag-the Stars and Stripes. I own one and put it in my yard every year on 9/11. We must never forget.
Man, seeing that girl cry during the moment of silence brought it right back, like it was yesterday. This was a big moment, a lot of people tuned in because this was The Yankees, a New York team. I remember it. I remember the NFL and their tributes around the country. Pat Tillman left a multimillion dollar to join the Army and become a Ranger. He sadly died in Afghanistan. Theres a nice statue of him infront of the stadium the Arizona Cardinals play in. That's a story worth looking into.
I had the privilege to be posted to FOB Tillman in Afghanistan with my Naval EOD team. Place was wild man, the real wild west, mostly full of SF and various private contractors doing some undoubtedly nefarious shit..Was considered an honor to get posted to Tillman, as it was such a heavily targeted FOB and one of the more strategic and important in Afghanistan not to mention the insurgency knew it's background so naturally they wanted to take it offline..
I had very similar memories of everything including the chilling sensation of seen Pat Tillman's picture in the Pat Tillman USO in Bagram, Afghanistan. Very inspirational American Patriot.
I was on active duty in the U.S. Army on that day. One of the civilian employees came in and told me an airplane had struck the World Trade Center. I was still in denial and remember talking about how such an "accident" happened. We watched the second airplane hit. My first words were "guys, we're under attack." In the weeks that followed, aged Veterans of Vietnam and Korean wars came in "I know I'm too old to fight... what can I do?" It's heartbreaking that it takes such a tragedy to United.
My mother called to tell me as I was busy getting kids off to school. It was initially assumed to be a small plane as there hadn't been any eyewitness reports. Then the second plane hit, and there was no longer a question that it was deliberate.
Veterans of all ages are a different breed in of themselves. but vietnam and korean and ww2 vets wanting to do more is insanely heartwarming. but i thank you so much for your service to our beautiful country..
Amazing that even the little kids were silent, not even a baby cried for that moment of silence.(at least that I could hear) kids really do have an innate sense to "feel" the emotions of those around them. It's like an internal protection mechanism, if adult is silent, I must be too bc there is an important reason.
I was thinking the exact thing as you about so many people being sooo quiet 🤫 😴😕. It was quite extraordinary!!! And, jeez, what a voice 👏 👌 😍 that lady had!!!
I was 3000+ miles from the attack and the feeling of connection throughout the country that was felt in the country was unbelievable. I still get emotional seeing this stuff. I remember really feeling emotional when I saw on the news brits standing outside Buckingham Palace holding American flags and feeling that world support against such a atrocious event.
I was on the west coast, and a few days earlier, I had just returned from dropping my daughter off for her freshman year of college in upstate New York. Her campus was in chaos, students and faculty lost family members, as well as alumnus. She was in hysterics, and I couldn't hold and protect her. She came home for Thanksgiving (requiring a connecting flight) - at the airport, people were patient with the lines, with people needing to jump the ques lest they miss their flights because of how long screening took to accomplish. People were much more willing to help others.
@@kristend344 oh my goodness. As a mother myself I know that had to be one of the hardest times of your life. My baby was 6 at the time and I could hold her and I still trembled. What a horrible time that was.
Just wanted to thank you both for all your videos together. I am a retired U. S. Marine and had the honor and privilege of serving with the Royal Marines while I was overseas. I think you Brits are not only our greatest allies but more importantly our greatest friends and family. God Bless you!
Many Americans do love this country, but they are open to criticizing it when it especially when we sometimes seem to have lost our way, I'm a patriot to this nation but I acknowledge and accept our rise to power and our history wasn't bloodless and many people died who didn't need to, wrongs done by our fathers left a scar on our nation and it's people and it carried over. Be proud of your nation, but be willing to hold it accountable or have those uncomfortable conversations, unconditional obedience breeds problems and leads to the fall of nations - 99% of our fellow Americans mean well but because the tide of politics and other factors often turns is against ourselves.
@@bhazerelli7611 I 100% agree every country has a bloody past! However it is our job AS patriots to want to better the country because we know the potential it has! America has already come so far but it still has a long way to go because of said scars left from history same as every other country
I was asleep and my daughter came in and said “a plane just hit a big building in NY”. I jumped up and got to the tv in time to see the 2nd plane hit. It was the first time my kids have told me about disasters vs me telling them. After a long hug my mind went to I wanted my family home. My husband being a first responder couldn’t come home. My youngest was at 6th grade camp. I called the school and they said the camp was on lockdown and no students would be released. They asked us to not discuss it with our kids until we were at home the end of the week. A very good thing because 12 kids at camp lost family in the towers. Thank you for honoring my country with utmost respect
@@MAGGOTMAN92 I was in 6th grade too. I was in school when it happened, grew up in Africa. Was a majority American school, the school day changed after we got the news.
@@TexArizocan I will never forget my teacher saying holyshit in front of us all watching people leap from a building when you supposed to be thinking about school stuff was just horrible.
I love being an American, and my hope is we continue to be a beacon and allow others to enjoy the gift that is our country. God Bless and Merry Christmas.
I was 11 years old when 9/11 happened. I remember where I was and what happened that day. I remember that day like it was yesterday. Thank you to all the first responders that served that day and to all who gave their lives to save those who they could. It still makes me cry.
I was 11 as well. I remember almost walking out the door for school and my mom told me to stop and come look at the news. We sat there and watched it together
I was 9 in my classroom when the principal spoke and said we won't be having school today(I had just literally got to school) the teacher said we could watch cartoons until the buses arrived we had no clue what had happened
Never watched it at the time. Sitting here crying. I lived about 5 miles away, as the crow flies, in NJ. I had a classroom full of 14 year old students. They had never hear silent airspace. We were across the river from Newark (now Liberty) airport . Then when the fighter jets arrived they thought it was another attack. I told them to listen to the sounds of the jets was different. Still have trouble during September.
I want to thank you both for sharing this video reaction, as an American I want to thank you and all the British people. Thank you for continuing to be our friends and allies. We love you Britain!
I remember first responders from all over the country getting on the road to go help the New York police, fire and medical. We take for granted our country a lot I feel. But I thank God this is my home. God bless America
I was 8 years old when 9/11 happened. I remember being in my 3rd grade math class and our teacher got a call from the office. She stopped the lesson immediately and turned on the TV. My classmates and I watched the 2nd plane hit on live television. Our country changed that day. I share a birthday with 3 of my friends and bin laden was killed a few days after we celebrated together. When news broke out that we finally got that bastard my friends and I celebrated again. We will never forget. God bless the American people. May there be peace across the world. Love your channel
My principal told us not to let my 9th graders watch TV. I immediately turned it on. They needed to see what was happening to our country. Proud 1st generation American!
Thank you for doing this video. There are moments in time (both good and bad) in America's history that should never be forgotten, and this is at the top of that list!!!
I was at the game on sept 10th, Clemans was going for his 20th win but it was postponed due to rain. I remember driving home to Jersey and seeing the towers lit up for the last time with my father.
Oh my gosh. I don't think I'd ever seen this, but it's incredibly moving and lovely to have it introduced by you. My husband and I travelled to London from Canada a week or so after the attacks on 9/11. I'm American born, but I think our Canadian accents sound the same to Brits, and it was deeply touching to be treated with unfailing kindness throughout the trip. Several people spontaneously went out of their way to suggest places we hadn't seen in parts of the city new to us, and people often came over to help us locate ourselves on a map before we even asked. We'd been to London many times before (as well as since then), but that trip was pretty special, simply because Londoners made it so. 😊
Yall made me cry. I always tear 😢 up when hearing my National Anthem though, especially when pertaining to that moment in time. You two are so kind. Loving all your react vids. Sending Love from Alabama in the U.S.A.🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for highlighting this song. I was a teenager living in New Jersey on 9/11 and still remember seeing the smoke come off the Twin Towers. I also remember the fear that we had that something else was going to blow up.
I would like to thank Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for the playing of the U.S. National Anthem at the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace on the morning of 9/12/2001 in London.
Thank you for posting this video. All of us that lived through this will never forget the feeling of the evil attacks on the United States. My eyes also welled up with tears with the silence of the crowd and then the singing of our nation anthem. We will never forget.
I’m from NY and remember this day like it was yesterday. I would love to see your reaction to all the boats that came into port to help rescue the people that were stranded. God Bless America.
I was on duty that day and reserve my "where were you when..." story for in-person telling. All these years later and videos like these still have an impact that challenges my self-control. Thank you for taking an interest. Merry Christmas to both of you and, since this may have been recorded before you tested positive, I hope both of you are well on the road to recovery.
@@ShyAnn291 Doing well. Just finishing watching some movies this Christmas Eve,....well 5 minutes into Christmas Day now (just noticed it is past Midnight),....thanks for the thought. I hope you have a Merry Christmas.
I watched the events of 9/11 in real time, and we needed something like this to help us try to regain a sense of normalcy after the horror of that tragic day. Thank you both for respect and appreciation for our great country...bless you both ❤️
I can not thank the both you you enough for caring for us. I WILL NEVER FORGET! My son joined the Army right after his senior year of high school! He was ready to go defend our beautiful country! To watch y’all, to see your tears fall for us means so much to me. We are first cousins! Your country and ours! Thank you! AndMay God Bless you both!
This made me cry all over again. I'm from Chicago. Used to live in NY, and I still can't get over this senseless tragedy. My mother lost a childhood friend in those attacks. It's still so crazy to me and surreal.
Thank you for posting that. It’s been said in other comments but 20+ years later it’s still heart wrenching but something we must always remember. Other countries lost loved ones that day too. The world mourned together. Thank you.
I started crying far before the national anthem started. I was 18 on 9/11 and remember the day vividly. I remember the feeling inside, vividly. I have never been more terrified in my life.
I remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. I'm an American, living in NJ at that time, and had just graduated college few months prior. I was sleeping in that day and my mom had Gove to a local diner down the street for breakfast. Well she came barging in the house yelling my name, saying, "We're being bombed!" I spent the rest of that day watching everything unfold on the news and crying and praying! I felt the US was so United then unlike nowadays. I was so appreciative of all the kind messages sent by other countries leaders/citizens, as well as, the Queen of England. Never forget! Thank you for sharing this video! 🙏 💕
I was sitting sitting in class in high school when this happened, the sense of pride I get as an American seeing that flag waving in the air and my fellow Americans comming together gives a sense of Noone better mess with us when we stand together. We may fight about small things but you better be ready for us if you stir up this hornets nest.
Loved this. Love that you love my home so much. I’m a 4th of July baby so I always got fireworks like that on my bday. It was awesome. Thanks for showing so much love and respect. New subscriber
That lady's got a fantastic voice and nailed it under all that pressure in front of 50 thousand fans. Another great moment whether or not you liked his politics, was when George Bush threw out the first pitch at the Yankees game in a bullet proof vest and threw a perfect strike. So many famous people blow it on that first pitch, but not that day.
@@cp368productions2 I can forgive the voice, but she did butcher the song. Several times she got the words wrong, and this is not a song to be trying to show off. I always find it disrespectful when singers try to 'jazz up' the anthem. If you're going to sing it 'your way' you'd better make damn sure you A) Get every word right, and B) Sound amazing doing it.
I am watching video after video right now and came to this and have been crying. I remember the feeling that day. I was alone on the island of Kauai (my family lived in Honolulu). I had friends in NY and remember our messaging being stopped as she had to evacuate her building. So many dying in front of our eyes. Then air space closed for days and days...I never felt so alone in my life. Life moved on for so many of us but we can't ever forget that day which affected the whole world.
I hadn't seen this before. Thank you for sharing it. I personally didn't know anybody who lost their lives on 9/11 but I remember that it touched everyone. I feel more saddened though at the way people are treating each other in various cities and for different reasons these days. Like they forgot 9/11. It is sad that rallying behind each other, in total, as a nation, took a tragedy to occur.
Unfortunately children are not raised or taught in school to love and respect their country anymore. No one is perfect. Some of us personally experienced the riots after Dr. King was assasinated, the riots during the Viet Nam War and still are proud to be an American.
Thank you for taking a moment to create this video. I went to the first Washington Capitals professional Hockey game after 9-1-1. It was the most incredible patriotic experience I have had to date. The stadium was full. When the National Anthem was sung, the entire place sang. There is nothing like being part of 20,000 people singing the National Anthem. Words can not describe the feeling. I will never forget what that was like and the great strength this country has when they are pushed. How we CAN come together when we need to. I hope we never have another reason like that to sing but that we will sing together like that again, soon.
My oldest was 10 years old when it happened. The biggest thing afterwords was no planes in the sky. It was crazy. You get used to seeing jets across the skys and then nothing. Very sad day in history
From my house, I can see several miles of the flight path to our major airport. It was really strange to see no planes in a clear blue sky. Then when planes started flying again, all I could do was stand at the window and watch. And remember.
Only 2 when 9/11 happened, thanks for making me feel old today guys 😂 thanks for the reaction as always! Edit: despite being a few miles away when 9/11 happened and watching it live, I haven't watched this in ages. I'll just leave the standard "I'm not crying, you're crying" of a New Yorker here
I was 17 years old, lived in New Jersey, but had been NYC on 9/10/01 and got stuck in the city overnight. I left early that morning, and by the time I got home the pentagon had just been hit. I watched, and recorded the news all that day. It's so imprinted on me. I had almost stayed in a hotel right near the towers, but for some reason we decided to sit for hours in the bus station instead. I always realized how close I had been to being one of those people covered in ash, trying to find a safe place.
A day that I know many will never forget, the fear, sorrow, shock, but the most United I’ve ever seen this country, how quickly we forget that unity. Thank you for sharing this ❤️
In my school whenever we sing the national anthem at the beginning of the school day we always stand for a little longer. Idk if other schools do this. My home room teacher says it’s to pay respect to the lives that were lost in 9/11 and to also pay respect to the people that fought for our country to be free and what we have today. 9/11 didn’t happen that long ago I was born in 2008 not that long ago when the attack happened. We may have killed the person that was the reason why we lost so many citizen. But the pain and sadness that we feel hasn’t faded. We lost so many people that would’ve done wonderful in life. They could have been our friends our future wife/husband or gf/bf and they’re gone now. So many people lost their lives. People lost husbands, wives, children, siblings, friends, their bf or gf. Losing someone is the worst pain a human can feel. I’m sorry if anyone of y’all that’s reading this lost someone from the attack. They’re in a happy place and they’re watching over you always. I promise you you’ll be with them again.. I love you ❤️
You should also check out the Septembet 21st 2001 NY Mets against Atlanta Braves game at Shea Stadium, which is the first sporting event held in New York after the event(the Yankees are away in this video and not turn to the to the city till septembet 25th). The met game on the 21st is memorable because the stadium was filled with the many of the people who had been searching the rubble for bodies and survivors of the attacks and it was also the game in which one of the most iconic home runs in baseball history was hit by mets catcher Mike Piazza. Another thing you may like to react to is President Bush throwing out the firsr pitch at Yankee stadium at game 3 of the World Seried that year.
I was 31 years old when 9/11 happened. I remember exactly where I was standing when I saw the news. I fell to my knees in disbelief and sadness. I still cry today when I see videos like this. So many brave men and women gave their lives to try to save others.
Wow! I remember watching the game. It was very emotional. We lived on Bolling AFB in DC at this time and my husband was working that day in the Pentagon. We could feel the explosion of the plane here on the base. I am thankful every day that my hubby decided to fix a computer problem at an alternate site in the morning because if had waited, he would have been in the section that was hit setting up new computer terminals. We also knew some of the deceased from the Pentagon.
You need to begin that comment with, "In my narrow minded opinion......." Because you're not qualified to speak for most Americans, are you? What you are witnessing with this young couple is their ability to empathize with the pain and suffering of others. Now make your comparisons with Americans.
@@eileencastillo6323 - I think the poster was referring to NOW, where people have such disdain for their own country they can't be bothered to remove their hats, stop talking and even stand up straight and NOT kneeling. There is no way a cognizant American could dispute that is what is going on NOW.
@@kathy2trips That man caused so much harm to us and our country. This 2 minute video is about what you're speaking of, but it explains SO much more about how he manipulated minds. Please meet former Green Beret, Army veteran, Nathan Boyer. ua-cam.com/video/I4nyaL8qmK0/v-deo.html
I have 4 years when 9/11. Beesley and Millie did I heard 2 years old. I love the respect you have. Millie cry and that is normal. Merry Christmas to legendary British couple. I love your honesty.
NGL, you're reactions to 9-11 related material may be solemn but, as someone who remembers it vividly and grew up between all the attacked locations, they bring up a lot of old emotion and thoughts and not in a bad way. It reminds me of what it was like in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks, which was a surreal feeling of patriotic unity and global support.
@@RitaBowen1 I would like to think it would be the same (and i dont want that to be tested by reality). If not, I dont think id know who we are as a people. Forever grateful to those who serve and protect our way of life
Have not seen this since that game. Thank you for noticing the beauty in our strength when we we're in so much pain. Truly means a lot . We will never forget this day... Love to you all .....
So many of them in attendance that day had seen the unimaginable on 911, especially the First Responders. For any one of them to raise their voice in song with such heavy emotion in their throats was really quite something to behold. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
I was at the first Baseball game in St. Louis Missouri. The silence was palpable. It was one of the most moving things I think I have ever seen in my life.
I absolutely LOVE how patriotic you two are! I wish and pray that this generation would find their love and respect for this beautiful country! God bless you both.
I was in Fenway Park in Boston a week or so after 9/11 and can tell you that what happened there sent chills up my back. Instead of playing 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' (a song traditionally played during the 7th inning "stretch") they played 'New York, New York' by Frank Sinatra. There is no love lost between the Red Sox and the Yankees; but when this song played that night, EVERYONE stood up to cheer in support of NY. It was unforgettable.
Every time I click on your reaction videos regarding the American Pride, I don't think I'll cry, but watching it through your eyes has me sobbing. Thank you for loving my Country, and reigniting mine! ❤️
I was 37 when this happened. It still brings tears to my eyes that there are people out there who have been under extremist teachings so long; they so desperately want to kill perfect strangers en masse for their "diety" and they are proud to go with them so they become martyrs. They look down on us while trying to gain martyrdom and their so many virgins. There are several deadly sins in there if you believe in the Bible. But they'll keep hating instead of taking care of those in their own religious beliefs. It breaks my heart the hate out there. I remember how close America was after that time. We bonded over a tragedy and just 15 years later Americans hate other Americans and now are willing to kill their own over which side of the political aisle they stand on. 😢
It's only a 4:29 video, but ya'll should do a reaction video on George Bush Throws out first pitch at Yankee Stadium after 9/11. It's very moving! Thanks for your love and respect!
Buckingham Palace played the National Anthem Sep. 13 2001, which I believe is the first and only time the Coldstream Guards have ever played a foreign anthem.
It's not about hating our country. It's about wanting our country to live up to its potential and not letting those in power, Republican or Democrat, divide the people. Big difference.
@@yvonneclaes5208 Yep, disabled veteran here. I'm more "American" by these people's definitions than they are but I am often very disappointed in my country and the way that we fail to take care of even the most basic ideas like health care and schooling. BTW, I'm no more American than the least patriotic person in the country but the same people who would put me on a pedestal are the same ones who want to decry those who want change as "hating America" Sorry, if "America" to you is 50+% of our bankruptcies coming from medical costs and people being afraid to go into fields like medicine because they don't want a $400,000 loan that will take them the next 15-20 years to pay off you can fucking keep your shit ass America idea to yourself.
@@LucidDream No, I think you may misunderstand them. Try to listen more. They are coming from a place of pain from being f-ed over from this country's elites.
I appreciate your comments of understanding that some may not want to watch this - thanks for showing such compassion and respect. I haven't even started watching yet, and I'm already tearful. UPDATE: I kept tearing up but watched until the end. It's important not to forget the bad, and remember the good. I remember exactly where I was at the time of the attack and saw it live (on TV @ home). I lived in the Chicago area at the time, worked in Chicago at the Sears tower (just not on this day), and frequently went to games at Comiskey park. I was not at this game; however, I am not surprised at all with the reactions and the display on this particular game day. 🇺🇸 My friend was working at the Pentagon on 9/11, and we couldn't get in touch with each other for 2 days. Those 2 days seemed SO long!! I can't speak about his job; however, he was walking over to the west side - then got called to another area - so he went there first. Thank goodness he was interrupted. 🙏🏼 The Pentagon is huge, but it was scary to think he would have been in the west side IF he hadn't chosen to take that request. Thanks for sharing this...Americans are known to be very patriotic on an every day basis, and you are right....despite being such a large nation....it doesn't matter if I was 1,000 miles away in Chicago or 3,000 miles away in San Francisco....the sentiment would be the same. We are one. Thank you..... 🤗
that woman butchered the national anthem. find a video of whitney houston doing the national anthem to see how it sounds when it is done right. Witneys version is the best ever.
@@christineperez7562 whitney did it twice. once for the super bowl and once for a troop event the one she did for the troops she took more liberties with it adding a bunch of runs and accentuating different words. personally i liked her super bowl version better where she just sang it strait up beautifully. here is the SB version. check it out BEEZ ua-cam.com/video/N_lCmBvYMRs/v-deo.html
As 54 year old American man I enjoyed many of your guys videos. This one......I remember getting my children ready for school (we lived in California) when towers got hit....my country....our country was devastated. I really don't think we fully recovered Every 9/11 those memories come flooding back. The horror and the beauty of America 🇺🇸 coming together. Thank you for this reminder and you 2 for so respectfully presenting it. Good health and long happy lives to you both.
I wish our country was this united still today
True Americans have the ability to do so when terror strikes
If we focus on our similarities more than our differences we would be. However if we don't, we will become tribal like in some middle eastern countries where the mere mention of their group causes anger & violence. smh
@@FEARNoMore totally agree
You're not the only one.
My thoughts too, are leaders do so well at dividing us!
This was a world tragedy on that day. There were 316 foreign nationals, from 84 different countries, including 67 of your fellow Brits, who lost their lives.
Absolutely. And thank you for the reminder. ❤️🌎
Absolutely worth remembering. Also I feel like it has been lost over the years but the response was not purely a local one first responders came from every single state to help and were at Ground Zero. It is also worth remembering (no matter how sobering the thought might be) is that the attacks are still claiming lives to this day people are dying from cancers and other illnesses they received down in the wreckage 20 years later when it is all said and done the loss of life from diseases and other health impacts will likely outnumber the causalities from the attack itself (if they don't already).
@@brianhalligan9268they dwarf the deaths on the actual day
It was, thats why we had the support we had
yeah well they were dual citizens. they werent one country nationals in that building. and the far majority of deaths were born and raised americans. some countries used their like 60 people who died to condemn the attacks but they didnt acknowledge the other 2,600 others who were americans.
I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself because I’m alone on Christmas because I tested positive for covid and then watched this. I remember it all to well, my kids were little and we were horrified. So thank you for helping me realize… I’m good! I remembered today that some people never make it home. So Merry 🎄 Christmas everyone. So grateful to be here. 🙏🏻❤️
You aren't alone.....I'll be thinking about you this Christmas.
Remember it too, and my kids were young as well. Merry Christmas and Godspeed on the health front.
Merry Christmas my fellow American. Get well soon!
I'm here alone on Christmas for the same reason. Watching this video reminded me of how unified our country felt during that time. I was only 9 but I remember it so well. It's a good thing to remember what we are capable of. Merry Christmas I hope you feel better!
I'm in the same boat. Thought I was only suffering a mild cold. Tested since I was going to be around my older parents: Hello, Omicron. Haha
Thankfully it really has been little more than a mild cold.
Merry Christmas everyone!
20 years hasn’t erased one bit of what I felt that day. Stood there staring at the screen so long that I missed the bus to school. Watched it all in real time. There was an actual feeling of unity after that for a while, and it’s a shame how far we’ve grown apart. It takes a tragedy. It shouldn’t. If I see violence or injustice happening to someone, it doesn’t matter their politics/ideology.
I'm with you Doobie, not one bit of how I felt that day has changed. Those images are burned in our minds, those emotions we felt have become a part of us.
We lived in a Marine Corp base town at the time, maybe 5 miles from the base and all I could think about besides the poor families left devestated was are they going to target military towns next or what part of our country might be next, is it over, is there more to come, will we wake up tomorrow. The terror we all felt is indescribable.
Be blessed Doobie.
Most Americans are plenty happy with each other.. Unfortunately you don't see this represented in our media, politics, journalism, academia, etc.. It's easy to gain power by pitting people against each other, unfortunately there are certain groups and political figures who've found that identity politics is way easier than actually trying to fix issues that are consequencial. The average American just wants to live and be prosperous, and I believe they want the same for their fellow citizens..
I was a young mother of 2 when this happened. I kept my kids home from school and was glued to the TV all day long
@@mastiffmama6008 it’s surreal to think about now.
well said
I was in London on a business trip this day. I will never forget the kindness and support from the British people I experienced. Two weeks later after I finally made it home I learned of a dear friend that died that day...miss you Marty. #Never forget
My condolences 🥺
20 years later, this still makes me cry.
Since 911 every home in my village displays the US Flag. We will never forget.
Peace and joy to all 🎄
You have no idea how much that simple statement means to me right now.
Oh, God bless you, your village, and your country. All of my LOVE to you.
That is so neat that a faraway place such as your village takes time to remember 9/11 each year. From an American, thank you!
In the US, we have a special flag you can buy called “The Flag of Honor.” This flag has the names of all the victims printed on it in such a way that their names form the US national flag-the Stars and Stripes. I own one and put it in my yard every year on 9/11. We must never forget.
Man, seeing that girl cry during the moment of silence brought it right back, like it was yesterday. This was a big moment, a lot of people tuned in because this was The Yankees, a New York team. I remember it. I remember the NFL and their tributes around the country. Pat Tillman left a multimillion dollar to join the Army and become a Ranger. He sadly died in Afghanistan. Theres a nice statue of him infront of the stadium the Arizona Cardinals play in. That's a story worth looking into.
I had the privilege to be posted to FOB Tillman in Afghanistan with my Naval EOD team. Place was wild man, the real wild west, mostly full of SF and various private contractors doing some undoubtedly nefarious shit..Was considered an honor to get posted to Tillman, as it was such a heavily targeted FOB and one of the more strategic and important in Afghanistan not to mention the insurgency knew it's background so naturally they wanted to take it offline..
I had very similar memories of everything including the chilling sensation of seen Pat Tillman's picture in the Pat Tillman USO in Bagram, Afghanistan. Very inspirational American Patriot.
I was on active duty in the U.S. Army on that day. One of the civilian employees came in and told me an airplane had struck the World Trade Center. I was still in denial and remember talking about how such an "accident" happened. We watched the second airplane hit. My first words were "guys, we're under attack."
In the weeks that followed, aged Veterans of Vietnam and Korean wars came in "I know I'm too old to fight... what can I do?"
It's heartbreaking that it takes such a tragedy to United.
My mother called to tell me as I was busy getting kids off to school. It was initially assumed to be a small plane as there hadn't been any eyewitness reports. Then the second plane hit, and there was no longer a question that it was deliberate.
Veterans of all ages are a different breed in of themselves. but vietnam and korean and ww2 vets wanting to do more is insanely heartwarming. but i thank you so much for your service to our beautiful country..
Never has so many people gathered in one spot been so quiet. Like thats what they mean when they say the silence is deafening
There were 50 to 60 K people there, and you could hear a needle drop. Chills.
Amazing that even the little kids were silent, not even a baby cried for that moment of silence.(at least that I could hear) kids really do have an innate sense to "feel" the emotions of those around them. It's like an internal protection mechanism, if adult is silent, I must be too bc there is an important reason.
I was thinking the exact thing as you about so many people being sooo quiet 🤫 😴😕. It was quite extraordinary!!! And, jeez, what a voice 👏 👌 😍 that lady had!!!
Oh yeah, I didn't see anybody "taking a knee" for the National Anthem on this occasion 🤔 😑! So, bravo 👌 for that!
"And no one dares, disturb the sound of silence"
I was 3000+ miles from the attack and the feeling of connection throughout the country that was felt in the country was unbelievable. I still get emotional seeing this stuff. I remember really feeling emotional when I saw on the news brits standing outside Buckingham Palace holding American flags and feeling that world support against such a atrocious event.
I was on the west coast, and a few days earlier, I had just returned from dropping my daughter off for her freshman year of college in upstate New York. Her campus was in chaos, students and faculty lost family members, as well as alumnus. She was in hysterics, and I couldn't hold and protect her. She came home for Thanksgiving (requiring a connecting flight) - at the airport, people were patient with the lines, with people needing to jump the ques lest they miss their flights because of how long screening took to accomplish. People were much more willing to help others.
@@kristend344 oh my goodness. As a mother myself I know that had to be one of the hardest times of your life. My baby was 6 at the time and I could hold her and I still trembled. What a horrible time that was.
Just wanted to thank you both for all your videos together. I am a retired U. S. Marine and had the honor and privilege of serving with the Royal Marines while I was overseas. I think you Brits are not only our greatest allies but more importantly our greatest friends and family. God Bless you!
R-E-S-P-E-C-T! Thank you for presenting slices of America with such respect. Much appreciated.
Milly I see how emotional you get when you hear the US National Anthem. I wish there were more Americans who appreciated it.. I love my country..
So do I Richard and our wonderful American flag till the day I die!
Many Americans do love this country, but they are open to criticizing it when it especially when we sometimes seem to have lost our way, I'm a patriot to this nation but I acknowledge and accept our rise to power and our history wasn't bloodless and many people died who didn't need to, wrongs done by our fathers left a scar on our nation and it's people and it carried over.
Be proud of your nation, but be willing to hold it accountable or have those uncomfortable conversations, unconditional obedience breeds problems and leads to the fall of nations - 99% of our fellow Americans mean well but because the tide of politics and other factors often turns is against ourselves.
@@Ghoststarrrr thank you for saying this.
@@Ghoststarrrr do you know of any countries who have an entirely bloodless past? I'm not arguing, just genuinely asking.
@@bhazerelli7611 I 100% agree every country has a bloody past! However it is our job AS patriots to want to better the country because we know the potential it has! America has already come so far but it still has a long way to go because of said scars left from history same as every other country
I was asleep and my daughter came in and said “a plane just hit a big building in NY”. I jumped up and got to the tv in time to see the 2nd plane hit. It was the first time my kids have told me about disasters vs me telling them. After a long hug my mind went to I wanted my family home. My husband being a first responder couldn’t come home. My youngest was at 6th grade camp. I called the school and they said the camp was on lockdown and no students would be released. They asked us to not discuss it with our kids until we were at home the end of the week. A very good thing because 12 kids at camp lost family in the towers. Thank you for honoring my country with utmost respect
I was in class in 6th grade I'll never forget that day as long as I live.
@@MAGGOTMAN92 I was in 6th grade too. I was in school when it happened, grew up in Africa. Was a majority American school, the school day changed after we got the news.
@@TexArizocan I will never forget my teacher saying holyshit in front of us all watching people leap from a building when you supposed to be thinking about school stuff was just horrible.
I love being an American, and my hope is we continue to be a beacon and allow others to enjoy the gift that is our country. God Bless and Merry Christmas.
Amen!
I was 11 years old when 9/11 happened. I remember where I was and what happened that day. I remember that day like it was yesterday. Thank you to all the first responders that served that day and to all who gave their lives to save those who they could. It still makes me cry.
I was 11 as well. I remember almost walking out the door for school and my mom told me to stop and come look at the news. We sat there and watched it together
I was 9 in my classroom when the principal spoke and said we won't be having school today(I had just literally got to school) the teacher said we could watch cartoons until the buses arrived we had no clue what had happened
I remember watching that game and pre-game tribute. I still cry when I see it. God bless you for the sweet reminder.
Never watched it at the time. Sitting here crying. I lived about 5 miles away, as the crow flies, in NJ. I had a classroom full of 14 year old students. They had never hear silent airspace. We were across the river from Newark (now Liberty) airport . Then when the fighter jets arrived they thought it was another attack. I told them to listen to the sounds of the jets was different. Still have trouble during September.
I want to thank you both for sharing this video reaction, as an American I want to thank you and all the British people. Thank you for continuing to be our friends and allies. We love you Britain!
I remember first responders from all over the country getting on the road to go help the New York police, fire and medical. We take for granted our country a lot I feel. But I thank God this is my home. God bless America
I was 8 years old when 9/11 happened. I remember being in my 3rd grade math class and our teacher got a call from the office. She stopped the lesson immediately and turned on the TV. My classmates and I watched the 2nd plane hit on live television. Our country changed that day. I share a birthday with 3 of my friends and bin laden was killed a few days after we celebrated together. When news broke out that we finally got that bastard my friends and I celebrated again. We will never forget. God bless the American people. May there be peace across the world. Love your channel
My principal told us not to let my 9th graders watch TV. I immediately turned it on. They needed to see what was happening to our country. Proud 1st generation American!
Thank you for doing this video. There are moments in time (both good and bad) in America's history that should never be forgotten, and this is at the top of that list!!!
Pearl Harbor infamy...
War of 1812 writing of NATIONAL ANTHEM ...
& Now 9/11
I was at the game on sept 10th, Clemans was going for his 20th win but it was postponed due to rain. I remember driving home to Jersey and seeing the towers lit up for the last time with my father.
Wow. What a surreal memory.
Wow, that sounds almost haunting in a dream like way.
Oh my gosh. I don't think I'd ever seen this, but it's incredibly moving and lovely to have it introduced by you. My husband and I travelled to London from Canada a week or so after the attacks on 9/11. I'm American born, but I think our Canadian accents sound the same to Brits, and it was deeply touching to be treated with unfailing kindness throughout the trip. Several people spontaneously went out of their way to suggest places we hadn't seen in parts of the city new to us, and people often came over to help us locate ourselves on a map before we even asked. We'd been to London many times before (as well as since then), but that trip was pretty special, simply because Londoners made it so. 😊
Yall made me cry. I always tear 😢 up when hearing my National Anthem though, especially when pertaining to that moment in time. You two are so kind. Loving all your react vids. Sending Love from Alabama in the U.S.A.🇺🇸🇺🇸
You really have so much respect for our country. I thank you. You see how we are. We love all ; that loves freedom.
Thank you for reminding us here in the U.S. that our strength is in our unity. Thank you also for your respect & sensitivity.
Thank you for highlighting this song. I was a teenager living in New Jersey on 9/11 and still remember seeing the smoke come off the Twin Towers. I also remember the fear that we had that something else was going to blow up.
I would like to thank Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for the playing of the U.S. National Anthem at the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace on the morning of 9/12/2001 in London.
Thank you for posting this video. All of us that lived through this will never forget the feeling of the evil attacks on the United States. My eyes also welled up with tears with the silence of the crowd and then the singing of our nation anthem. We will never forget.
GOD! Y'all made me cry again!
Thank you for posting this. I was a NYer back then, we lost our friends, American and British that awful day.
Thank you for reminding people of this.
I’m from NY and remember this day like it was yesterday. I would love to see your reaction to all the boats that came into port to help rescue the people that were stranded. God Bless America.
Can't stop crying. Thank you posting this and love from America to you
As a proud American I can never ever hear this beautiful anthem without tears streaming down my face. Its words flow in our blood.
Very, very emotional...thank you for that our lovely British families and friends....from Chicago, my home.
Thank you for your genuine love and compassion of the USA and its people. We love you too.
Merry Christmas from Canada ;)
You two are so sweet. This means so much to me. Thank you! In honor and memory of
Firefighter Nicholas P. Rossomando, FDNY Rescue 5, 9/11/2001.
I was on duty that day and reserve my "where were you when..." story for in-person telling. All these years later and videos like these still have an impact that challenges my self-control.
Thank you for taking an interest.
Merry Christmas to both of you and, since this may have been recorded before you tested positive, I hope both of you are well on the road to recovery.
I hope you are doing ok!!
@@ShyAnn291 Doing well. Just finishing watching some movies this Christmas Eve,....well 5 minutes into Christmas Day now (just noticed it is past Midnight),....thanks for the thought.
I hope you have a Merry Christmas.
@@pauld6967 you’re very welcome, I’m glad you are good and Merry Christmas to you too!
Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏼
I watched the events of 9/11 in real time, and we needed something like this to help us
try to regain a sense of normalcy after the horror of that tragic day.
Thank you both for respect and appreciation for our great country...bless you both ❤️
I can not thank the both you you enough for caring for us. I WILL NEVER FORGET! My son joined the Army right after his senior year of high school! He was ready to go defend our beautiful country! To watch y’all, to see your tears fall for us means so much to me. We are first cousins! Your country and ours!
Thank you! AndMay God Bless you both!
This made me cry all over again. I'm from Chicago. Used to live in NY, and I still can't get over this senseless tragedy. My mother lost a childhood friend in those attacks. It's still so crazy to me and surreal.
Thank you for posting that. It’s been said in other comments but 20+ years later it’s still heart wrenching but something we must always remember. Other countries lost loved ones that day too. The world mourned together. Thank you.
I started crying far before the national anthem started. I was 18 on 9/11 and remember the day vividly. I remember the feeling inside, vividly. I have never been more terrified in my life.
I remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. I'm an American, living in NJ at that time, and had just graduated college few months prior. I was sleeping in that day and my mom had Gove to a local diner down the street for breakfast. Well she came barging in the house yelling my name, saying, "We're being bombed!" I spent the rest of that day watching everything unfold on the news and crying and praying! I felt the US was so United then unlike nowadays. I was so appreciative of all the kind messages sent by other countries leaders/citizens, as well as, the Queen of England. Never forget! Thank you for sharing this video! 🙏 💕
I was sitting sitting in class in high school when this happened, the sense of pride I get as an American seeing that flag waving in the air and my fellow Americans comming together gives a sense of Noone better mess with us when we stand together. We may fight about small things but you better be ready for us if you stir up this hornets nest.
This is enough to make a grown man cry for hours
Merry Christmas 🎅. Hope you're both feeling better.
Loved this. Love that you love my home so much. I’m a 4th of July baby so I always got fireworks like that on my bday. It was awesome. Thanks for showing so much love and respect. New subscriber
That lady's got a fantastic voice and nailed it under all that pressure in front of 50 thousand fans. Another great moment whether or not you liked his politics, was when George Bush threw out the first pitch at the Yankees game in a bullet proof vest and threw a perfect strike. So many famous people blow it on that first pitch, but not that day.
She has a horrible voice and butchered the song. IDK what they were thinking getting that to sing.
@@cp368productions2 I can forgive the voice, but she did butcher the song.
Several times she got the words wrong, and this is not a song to be trying to show off.
I always find it disrespectful when singers try to 'jazz up' the anthem. If you're going to sing it 'your way' you'd better make damn sure you A) Get every word right, and B) Sound amazing doing it.
I am watching video after video right now and came to this and have been crying. I remember the feeling that day. I was alone on the island of Kauai (my family lived in Honolulu). I had friends in NY and remember our messaging being stopped as she had to evacuate her building. So many dying in front of our eyes. Then air space closed for days and days...I never felt so alone in my life. Life moved on for so many of us but we can't ever forget that day which affected the whole world.
I hadn't seen this before. Thank you for sharing it. I personally didn't know anybody who lost their lives on 9/11 but I remember that it touched everyone. I feel more saddened though at the way people are treating each other in various cities and for different reasons these days. Like they forgot 9/11. It is sad that rallying behind each other, in total, as a nation, took a tragedy to occur.
Common enemy....
Unfortunately children are not raised or taught in school to love and respect their country anymore. No one is perfect. Some of us personally experienced the riots after Dr. King was assasinated, the riots during the Viet Nam War and still are proud to be an American.
Thank you for taking a moment to create this video. I went to the first Washington Capitals professional Hockey game after 9-1-1. It was the most incredible patriotic experience I have had to date. The stadium was full. When the National Anthem was sung, the entire place sang. There is nothing like being part of 20,000 people singing the National Anthem. Words can not describe the feeling. I will never forget what that was like and the great strength this country has when they are pushed. How we CAN come together when we need to. I hope we never have another reason like that to sing but that we will sing together like that again, soon.
My oldest was 10 years old when it happened. The biggest thing afterwords was no planes in the sky. It was crazy. You get used to seeing jets across the skys and then nothing. Very sad day in history
From my house, I can see several miles of the flight path to our major airport. It was really strange to see no planes in a clear blue sky. Then when planes started flying again, all I could do was stand at the window and watch. And remember.
I’d somehow forgotten the sense of loss I felt all those years ago. I’m crying my eyes out again. Thank you!
Only 2 when 9/11 happened, thanks for making me feel old today guys 😂 thanks for the reaction as always! Edit: despite being a few miles away when 9/11 happened and watching it live, I haven't watched this in ages. I'll just leave the standard "I'm not crying, you're crying" of a New Yorker here
The Mike Piazza Homerun in the Mets first game after 9/11 still gets me everytime.one of the most powerful moments.
It was a very somber moment. This was followed shortly after by pure rage and determination.
No Step On Snek! 🐍 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thank you for this. ❤🙏
I was 17 years old, lived in New Jersey, but had been NYC on 9/10/01 and got stuck in the city overnight. I left early that morning, and by the time I got home the pentagon had just been hit. I watched, and recorded the news all that day. It's so imprinted on me. I had almost stayed in a hotel right near the towers, but for some reason we decided to sit for hours in the bus station instead. I always realized how close I had been to being one of those people covered in ash, trying to find a safe place.
A day that I know many will never forget, the fear, sorrow, shock, but the most United I’ve ever seen this country, how quickly we forget that unity. Thank you for sharing this ❤️
In my school whenever we sing the national anthem at the beginning of the school day we always stand for a little longer. Idk if other schools do this. My home room teacher says it’s to pay respect to the lives that were lost in 9/11 and to also pay respect to the people that fought for our country to be free and what we have today. 9/11 didn’t happen that long ago I was born in 2008 not that long ago when the attack happened. We may have killed the person that was the reason why we lost so many citizen. But the pain and sadness that we feel hasn’t faded. We lost so many people that would’ve done wonderful in life. They could have been our friends our future wife/husband or gf/bf and they’re gone now. So many people lost their lives. People lost husbands, wives, children, siblings, friends, their bf or gf. Losing someone is the worst pain a human can feel. I’m sorry if anyone of y’all that’s reading this lost someone from the attack. They’re in a happy place and they’re watching over you always. I promise you you’ll be with them again.. I love you ❤️
Great show of respect . Thank u 2 young people making quality content. Love from Texas. Love me some British. God bless both of u nice folks.
You should also check out the Septembet 21st 2001 NY Mets against Atlanta Braves game at Shea Stadium, which is the first sporting event held in New York after the event(the Yankees are away in this video and not turn to the to the city till septembet 25th). The met game on the 21st is memorable because the stadium was filled with the many of the people who had been searching the rubble for bodies and survivors of the attacks and it was also the game in which one of the most iconic home runs in baseball history was hit by mets catcher Mike Piazza.
Another thing you may like to react to is President Bush throwing out the firsr pitch at Yankee stadium at game 3 of the World Seried that year.
I was 31 years old when 9/11 happened. I remember exactly where I was standing when I saw the news. I fell to my knees in disbelief and sadness. I still cry today when I see videos like this. So many brave men and women gave their lives to try to save others.
This literally made me cry. That was the worst ever.day.And we viewed it on TV.
This was really nice. I needed this. Thank you Brits!!!!
Wow! I remember watching the game. It was very emotional. We lived on Bolling AFB in DC at this time and my husband was working that day in the Pentagon. We could feel the explosion of the plane here on the base. I am thankful every day that my hubby decided to fix a computer problem at an alternate site in the morning because if had waited, he would have been in the section that was hit setting up new computer terminals. We also knew some of the deceased from the Pentagon.
Awe!! Thank you for sharing!! This was the America I knew and loved!!
I find it amazing how these two British citizens have more respect for America and the National Anthem then most Americans. Cheers to you two!
You need to begin that comment with, "In my narrow minded opinion......."
Because you're not qualified to speak for most Americans, are you?
What you are witnessing with this young couple is their ability to empathize with the pain and suffering of others.
Now make your comparisons with Americans.
@@eileencastillo6323 - I think the poster was referring to NOW, where people have such disdain for their own country they can't be bothered to remove their hats, stop talking and even stand up straight and NOT kneeling. There is no way a cognizant American could dispute that is what is going on NOW.

NGL, you're reactions to 9-11 related material may be solemn but, as someone who remembers it vividly and grew up between all the attacked locations, they bring up a lot of old emotion and thoughts and not in a bad way. It reminds me of what it was like in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks, which was a surreal feeling of patriotic unity and global support.
I wonder how it would be if this happened today. I would hope the same as then. I just don't know. Thank you to all who have served

Have not seen this since that game. Thank you for noticing the beauty in our strength when we we're in so much pain. Truly means a lot . We will never forget this day... Love to you all .....
So many of them in attendance that day had seen the unimaginable on 911, especially the First Responders. For any one of them to raise their voice in song with such heavy emotion in their throats was really quite something to behold.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
I was at the first Baseball game in St. Louis Missouri. The silence was palpable. It was one of the most moving things I think I have ever seen in my life.
Merry Christmas !!!!!!! My family and I Love you both :)
I was born 42 days after 9/11 and I am in tears. My grandparents lived and grew up in New York.
Will you guys PLEASE react to master Sargent Roy Benavides...its freakin awesome!!!
YES YES YES!!
Yes please
I absolutely LOVE how patriotic you two are! I wish and pray that this generation would find their love and respect for this beautiful country! God bless you both.
I was in Fenway Park in Boston a week or so after 9/11 and can tell you that what happened there sent chills up my back. Instead of playing 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' (a song traditionally played during the 7th inning "stretch") they played 'New York, New York' by Frank Sinatra. There is no love lost between the Red Sox and the Yankees; but when this song played that night, EVERYONE stood up to cheer in support of NY. It was unforgettable.
Every time I click on your reaction videos regarding the American Pride, I don't think I'll cry, but watching it through your eyes has me sobbing. Thank you for loving my Country, and reigniting mine! ❤️
I was 37 when this happened. It still brings tears to my eyes that there are people out there who have been under extremist teachings so long; they so desperately want to kill perfect strangers en masse for their "diety" and they are proud to go with them so they become martyrs. They look down on us while trying to gain martyrdom and their so many virgins. There are several deadly sins in there if you believe in the Bible. But they'll keep hating instead of taking care of those in their own religious beliefs.
It breaks my heart the hate out there.
I remember how close America was after that time. We bonded over a tragedy and just 15 years later Americans hate other Americans and now are willing to kill their own over which side of the political aisle they stand on. 😢
I must thank you both for your respect…! Millie’s transparent appreciation and respect really gets to me. Thanks!!
Damn that was painful.. Thank you we will never forget. God Bless the USA FJB.
Teared up for this. I still remember that day. Merry Christmas!
Please react to the Bruins national anthem, after the Boston marathon bombings it’s a really moving to ceremony…
I remember this like it was yesterday. Thank you both for being so respectful during this video.
It's only a 4:29 video, but ya'll should do a reaction video on George Bush Throws out first pitch at Yankee Stadium after 9/11. It's very moving!
Thanks for your love and respect!
Buckingham Palace played the National Anthem Sep. 13 2001, which I believe is the first and only time the Coldstream Guards have ever played a foreign anthem.
Your girlfriend tearing up at our anthem makes her more of an American than many of those who have been here for generations, yet hate our country.
It's not about hating our country. It's about wanting our country to live up to its potential and not letting those in power, Republican or Democrat, divide the people. Big difference.
I was thinking the exact same thing!
@@yvonneclaes5208 You may believe that, but there really are people here that hate our country. They don't think like you do.
@@yvonneclaes5208 Yep, disabled veteran here. I'm more "American" by these people's definitions than they are but I am often very disappointed in my country and the way that we fail to take care of even the most basic ideas like health care and schooling.
BTW, I'm no more American than the least patriotic person in the country but the same people who would put me on a pedestal are the same ones who want to decry those who want change as "hating America"
Sorry, if "America" to you is 50+% of our bankruptcies coming from medical costs and people being afraid to go into fields like medicine because they don't want a $400,000 loan that will take them the next 15-20 years to pay off you can fucking keep your shit ass America idea to yourself.
@@LucidDream No, I think you may misunderstand them. Try to listen more. They are coming from a place of pain from being f-ed over from this country's elites.
I appreciate your comments of understanding that some may not want to watch this - thanks for showing such compassion and respect. I haven't even started watching yet, and I'm already tearful. UPDATE: I kept tearing up but watched until the end. It's important not to forget the bad, and remember the good. I remember exactly where I was at the time of the attack and saw it live (on TV @ home). I lived in the Chicago area at the time, worked in Chicago at the Sears tower (just not on this day), and frequently went to games at Comiskey park. I was not at this game; however, I am not surprised at all with the reactions and the display on this particular game day. 🇺🇸 My friend was working at the Pentagon on 9/11, and we couldn't get in touch with each other for 2 days. Those 2 days seemed SO long!! I can't speak about his job; however, he was walking over to the west side - then got called to another area - so he went there first. Thank goodness he was interrupted. 🙏🏼 The Pentagon is huge, but it was scary to think he would have been in the west side IF he hadn't chosen to take that request. Thanks for sharing this...Americans are known to be very patriotic on an every day basis, and you are right....despite being such a large nation....it doesn't matter if I was 1,000 miles away in Chicago or 3,000 miles away in San Francisco....the sentiment would be the same. We are one. Thank you..... 🤗
that woman butchered the national anthem. find a video of whitney houston doing the national anthem to see how it sounds when it is done right. Witneys version is the best ever.
She sang that before 911 and yes nobody sung it like Whitney Houston.
@@christineperez7562 whitney did it twice. once for the super bowl and once for a troop event the one she did for the troops she took more liberties with it adding a bunch of runs and accentuating different words. personally i liked her super bowl version better where she just sang it strait up beautifully.
here is the SB version. check it out BEEZ

As 54 year old American man I enjoyed many of your guys videos. This one......I remember getting my children ready for school (we lived in California) when towers got hit....my country....our country was devastated. I really don't think we fully recovered Every 9/11 those memories come flooding back. The horror and the beauty of America 🇺🇸 coming together. Thank you for this reminder and you 2 for so respectfully presenting it. Good health and long happy lives to you both.
Much respect, but that is the worst rendition of the national anthem that I've ever heard.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HONORING MY FRIENDS SLAUGHTERED ON 9/11/01❣️🙏
LOVE YOU BOTH❣️❣️❣️❣️
