Yep.

Its not over.

Nothing is over until we say it is!

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!

Hell No!

Forget it, he's rolling...

Not aware of anyone who’s forgotten 911. We must hang in different crowds.

As for Pearl Harbor day, it’s also my wife’s birthday.

Um... did you see the news?

Saudi killed 3 people on NAS Pensacola. He was there because we were training him to fkn fly. Some people have forgotten, IMO.

That was obvious... as was the post I was replying to, but I edited for clarity.

Not starting anything MACS. I just don’t make the same connection you do. 911 is not forgotten by many in my mind. But I get what you are saying. I worry Oklahoma City is forgotten. So I do get it.

My folks took us to Honolulu when we were young. The Arizona memorial made a major impression on me, and I wasn't very old. 10 or 12 maybe. The solemnity of that site is staggering. There was a survivor there that day, they emptied the memorial and took him out by himself. One of the staff explained and apologized for the delay, but I don't think there was one person there that minded, but if there were they didn't voice it.

I learned a lot that day. I've learned a lot more over the years, that the whole debacle wasn't and isn't as cut and dried as it was presented. But history seldom is. Men make and write history, and men are fallible. I've been back there many times over the years. It always made a strong impression. A lot of good men lost.

Recent history? I definitely think that we need to step our screening game up. The events in Pensacola were not the first time this has happened, and the folks involved were from the same place. I don't believe in coincidence. 👎

Out shopping with the boy, came outta the store and saw a nail in my tire. Went to tire shop, now get to spend an hour or two here to get it plugged. I'd do it myself but the tires are near new and have free repair/replace

Well crap, that's not cool. 🤦

we never officially considered Saudi Arabia anything but a friend, even in the immediate aftermath of 9/11!

We went after Saddam in Iraq instead...until eventually Bin Laden.

But I think other than those officials, the rest of us haven't ever forgotten 9/11.

What exactly is devilsfood?
