      A moment in time when a Nation was still reeling over the loss of an American symbol and so many innocent people needlessly taken away by an act of pure evil, you had Bette Midler immediately blessing your heart and soul. This should be shared all over again to remind Americans what unity and strength is like.🇺🇸

The shear terror in her voice made me wake from a dead sleep. I watched the TV in complete shock all day long until I went to work, which we were then sent home due to the days events.

      at least several dozen were born to other men who were murdered that day, they have pain YOU CAN’T IMAGINE.

    Omg, what a beautiful way to remember that dreadful moment in history.I was right there looking at it from my office window 39th/7. At the time i lived in jersey city. On a normal day, it tool me approximately 25min from train to home. That day it took me 5hr plus. No trains, Buses, subways .Only ferry boats. I waited in line for almost 2hrs alone just to get on the boat. I remember day b4 it rained, so i had my umbrella to shade me from the Sun. Once I got to Jersey City it was horrible. Thousands of people fighting for taxis buses. I remember walking 2miles down just to be able to get on the bus. Thank God i took my parents to the airport on that Monday, day b4. Thank God they left New York 1 day b4. Thank God for the people who got out alive, Firefighters, policeman, New Yorkers. We all banded together for the Greater Good. And God bless the people who died. God please bless who all that gave this beautiful video dedications of 9/11, for their hearts are hardened.

    Watching this and remembering how strong the unity and bond each and every American instinctively felt after that dark day. That feeling of such loss was felt by everyone across the nation, it was such a unique and tragic experience which left those who were around that time with this same unique wounded memory but at the same time, a somewhat comforting and heart fulfilling comraderie bond. Its really disappointing to see just how far apart that memory is from our countries current state of reality we live in now.
    Nothing has been made great at all, let alone anything close to what we had before, again.
    I see these maga klan rallies happening today and I can just picture what isis and the taliban were doing after 9/11 and get the same sickening feeling, these different groups just really hate Americans!

      Time to end the hate and be united again. A new start is desperately needed.

      YOU are the problem... lumping EVERYONE into one group under one title shows how naive you are. What other group of people would you describe like that? Wake up. YOU are spewing the hatred that you pretend to condemn. Once you remove that judgement and anger you are carrying around, you will see real people wanting nothing but the best for our country and EVERYONE that lives in it ✌❤🙂

      Mys Led You need to watch the Dancing Israelis. This was a false flag perpetrated to get us to obliterate Iraq and we did. Hussein never uttered a bad word against America. It was a horrible, horrible event of which none of us will forget.

    Oh, what our fellow Americans went through that horrible, horrible day. I'll never stop thinking about and remembering them and their families. I'll do my best to honor them every year until I die. The people on the planes, in the buildings, on the streets staring in disbelief, first responders, young people who were inspired to join the military, the soldiers who died or carry their wounds to this day. I'll always do what I can to remember and honor you.
