September 11, 2001 - 5 Years Later

[Larwee]

September 11, 2001 is a day we will all remember. We were shocked as we watched and listened to the tragic events of that day. Many of us tried to make ourselves believe that it was all just a bad dream. Sadly, it wasn't a dream.

Five years have passed since that day and September 11, 2001 will be remembered today in many ways.

It is possible to watch a complete replay of the CNN television coverage of the events of that day. It will be shown at the same time (in real time) as events happened on September 11, 2001. It will last for 15 and a half hours and can be seen on your computer. It is available for free from CNN Pipeline.

Memorial services and other special events will be held to remember those who died that day, as well as to honor our country. Live coverage of these events will be available from several television sources.

Many people like to listen to patriotic music at times such as this. I've provided links to three patriotic songs. The first two are audio links and the third is a video link.

Ray Charles Sings "America The Beautiful" http://www.brownielocks.com/americathebeautifulWAVE.html

Lee Greenwood Sings "God Bless the USA", which is sometimes called "I'm Proud to be An American." http://www.brownielocks.com/godblesstheusaWAVE.html

This video presentation was done one week after September 11, 2001. It was done as a tribute to those killed in the attacks. The singing heard is from a Super Bowl performance. It is Whitney Houston singing The Star Spangled Banner (The National Anthem of the United States of America). http://www.paperveins.org/anthem/

Thanks Larwee for posting this. I've been watching movies about 9/11 and reading about it. Still can't believe it happened. I watched a church broad cast on TV yesterday morning that was so moving it brought me to tears. God bless everyone that was affected.

Dramatic Video

This is very dramatic and some of you might not want to watch it.

Some people who lived only a few hundred yards from the World Trade Center video taped the events of September 11, 2001. They didn't release the tape to be seen by the public until Setpember 11, 2006. This is therefore never before seen video that takes you very close to what was going on.

Here is a link to it http://www.revver.com/view.php?id=59686
