PLEASE have respect for those who have been lost and who has been affected by not turning this into a political circus. Thank you. I'll start it off... my personal thoughts on this day: On the morning of September 11th, 2001, I was on the USS Wasp in Norfolk, VA to do an antenna installation on the mast of the ship. When we went into the maintenance shop, there was footage of a plane flying into the towers, and then a live feed of the second one, which I assumed was for some movie but quickly found out it wasn't. We had to race to the base exit in order to not get trapped on base, missing the complete shutdown by 5 minutes. I reported back to my command, and we stayed on our site for several hours before going home. Soon after I volunteered for the Auxiliary Security Force and spent 7 months working with called up reservists standing duty on the gates and on our shore. It was a very insane time, but it was what happened after that affected me the most. Due to 9/11, we entered the theaters of Iraq and Afghanistan. Several people I knew went to those areas and worked- including all of the SEAL team members I worked with (I was support comms). One of those men, Nathan Hardy, whom I served with on the USS Harry S. Truman in the gulf, died while on mission. THAT is the after effect of this tragedy, the military men and women who have been lost. I remember the good times and how much life he had, and to lose just one person is too many. I had no idea that by the end of the decade, thousands upon thousands of my brothers and sisters of all services would be wiped away, and it angers me inside- all totally unnecessary, for what????? THAT is what 9/11 means to me, and I can't take the flags and the songs and the speeches because I have to turn away and reflect... I can't think about it, because it kills me inside. Words could never express what we have truly lost.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

I love the freedom of the avatar use... love that part. Hate the signature images though... too large for posting. I'm in, so it should be fun.

This plunge was based on European fears as stated this morning as it got bad.

It is Charcoal Friday... ugh. almost down 400 points.

Man, this story about Miami's Police Chief is so insane... he's doing the right things, and the mayor wants him gone? Corruption over common sense in Miami: http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/Miamis-Top-Cop-Fights-for-His-Job-129520873.html?rr=td

I know I left off Dareus, but he hasn't even played a regular season game yet!!! It is all in my opinion... I hope everyone agrees with my BUSTS, the ones that matter.

It is WAY too close to the 49ers colors... the league would never allow it, sadly. They should go with Kentucky Wildcat-like blue and white to match the Dodgers, or purple and gold to match the Kings/Lakers.

I'm no fan of Obama, but the contingents in Iraq have to be reduced and shipped out... our mission there should be finished.

Buying 7 shares of MELA @ $3.30 = $23.10 TOTAL: $23.10 in transactions CASH: $25.90 - $23.10 = $2.80

It happens far too often on teams with average and worse coaches... they should always, always, always emphasize key points in those situations.

Point taken, sir.

Bills 17 Chefs 14 Great Googily Moogly!

No, I'm not mistaken. People will not accept this type of conduct and will express their displeasure come election time. All of this talk is mere spin to try and come to a conclusion that cannot be reached due to his conduct. If Chuck Schumer was ousted, then yes, I'd buy it.

Of course! That is why this country is in the economic dumps... companies are losing money because they have to pay health care costs... no, wait, they are making large profits and the banks collapsed in on themselves... can't be it!

Colin Cowherd just picked the Bills in an upset.

Ever heard of Steve Tasker, Special Teams HOF-like player? He was 5'9", and listed at WR. How many games did he start at WR? Not many.

Never underestimate the public backlash against politicians, no matter what their party affiliation is- personal conduct kills.

How much extra cap room do we have again? How much cost savings do we enjoy if we extend Fitz and Stevie NOW that gives us flexibility to improve our team? Rebuilding I could buy if we weren't so far under the cap.

Neither was Pearl Harbor to me, but you nor I grew up as an 11 year old in 1952, and the Japanese weren't our enemies anymore and were not a constant threat, unless you were a manufacturer of transistor radios in the late 50s.

Top 10 for me... Zombie by The Cranberries. Tripe.
