WHEN YOU GET TO THE #20 PICTURE, HIT MORE, THIS GIVES YOU 8 MORE SCENES.
THEN HIT END FOR A BIT OF TEXT. (Article by E. B. White, 1949).

Pictures were taken by a non professional beginning with a view from his
living room windowin Brooklyn!! When you get to the last one, go back
to the 1st one to see how the view had changed. This guy must have a
fantastic camera!

Re: The WORLD Trade Centers


I am from Arlington, Virginia (where one plane took out a section of our
Pentagon's wall), and have lived here at Ft. Bragg, NC (home of Special
Forces [the Green Berets], the 82nd Airborne Division and the 18th
Airborne Corps) and also, Pope AFB is here. I was terrified when it
happened, but especially so when the Pentagon was struck. The pilots
used the road my father lived on as a landmark to follow straight to the
Pentagon and they lost power and phones because the plane came down so
low, it clipped all the power poles.

Here at Ft. Bragg, the soldiers and airmen were upped to Def 5
immediately. The roads leading into the bases were bumper to bumper with
active duty manning being called to full alert. The skies were filled
with planes, jets and helicopters...going God knows where, but the sound
was deafening. Civilians who live close to the bases (as I do, just one
mile off post) were out in their yards ~ watching and waiting.

So many people don't know what goes on behind the scenes when something
like this happens...and I wish they were more aware. All of those
innocent people on those planes KNEW they were going to die ~ can you
imagine that? Those people who jumped from the World Trade Center Towers
~ what terror THEY knew in their last moments. And do you have any idea
how many of our troops have been gone willingly to their deaths to
search for terrorists such as Osama Bin Laden? No, they don't have death
wishes ... but they believe strongly enough to fight to defend our
freedoms and for Homeland Security to die as heroes.

And every day, the planes and jets are still taking off and landing here
at Ft. Bragg with troops rotating in and out of the Arab Emirates...

Please remember that the blood, bone and tissue of family, friends, and
fellow countrymen will forever be in the footprints where those Towers
stood.

My flag is flying today. Is yours?

Anyone even THINKING of trying to tame this wildcat had better come with
a whip, a chair and better pack a lunch, too...

Yes, I believe there ought to be some sort of Memorial in the original
footprints of the Trade Towers that were attacked and leveled. But I
don't believe that any governmental body ~ State or City ~ should be the
ones to decide WHAT that Memorial should look like. I believe that the
family members of the victims should decide. Yes, the Memorial will be
for all of us...but it is the blood, bone and tissue of their loved ones
that the Memorial will be built upon.

I was surprised by the Hershey's Special Dark "specialty line" by a man
who, after asking my favorite candy, contacted Hershey (from Irag!) and
ordered everything they had in Special Dark.

This huge carton arrived with 4 smaller boxes inside.
1) Big round tin with 16 large specialty candy bars (one variety with
macadamia nuts, and one variety with blueberries and cranberries.
2) Small "milk pail" FILLED with Special Dark Kisses!
3) Small round tin with miniature Special Dark miniatures.
4) A crystal candy dish in the shape of a Heyshey's Kiss filled with
pastel-wrapped Special Dark Kisses, complete with a white flag that
said, "For Kathy Only".

It took me 4 months to finish it all, and I gained 6 pounds ~ but it was
one of the sweetest, most thoughtful gifts I've ever received.

Honeyrobber, don't say that they are about gone...

the cowboy SPIRIT still lives.

Hey, Parkton!

Just wanted you to know you're not alone in here...
