We Will Never Forget: Incredible Pics Show World Trade Center Tribute Lighting Up Night Sky

Sep. 11, 2012 7:08am Jason Howerton

On Sept. 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed on America’s worst day of terrorism as 19 al-Qaida terrorists hijacked four passenger jetliners. Two planes smashed into New York’s World Trade Center, causing the twin towers to fall; one plowed into the Pentagon; and the fourth crashed into a field in western Pennsylvania.

On Tuesday night, two glorious beams of light will pierce the New York skyline where the Twin Towers used to be in remembrance of everyone who lost their lives on that fateful morning. It’s an occurrence that has become a staple on the anniversary.

Victims’ families and others will gather and grieve Tuesday at ground zero, the Pentagon and near Shanksville, Pa., for the first time after the emotional turning point of last year’s 10th anniversary.

The Tribute in Light Will Shine Above World Trade Center on 9/11 Anniversary

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama plan to attend the Pentagon ceremony and visit wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar are expected to speak at the Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville, at the site where the hijacked United Airlines plane went down.

Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta attended a touching memorial ceremony at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pa on Monday. He called the site “the final resting place of American patriots” and expressed the nation’s debt to the heroes of flight 93.

Both President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney plan to take down their negative ads in honor of the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Neither planned to appear at overtly political events.

Perhaps the most obvious signal that the presidential campaign is on hold is that negative ads will be taken off the air, following precedent.

Obama has scheduled a moment of silence at the White House and a trip to the Pentagon, the target of one of four planes al-Qaida hijacked 11 years ago. Romney, meanwhile, is set to address the National Guard, whose members deployed as part of the U.S. response to the attacks.

Further, for the first time, elected officials won’t speak Tuesday at the Sept. 11 anniversary ceremony at ground zero. The change was made in the name of sidelining politics, but some have rapped it as a political move in itself.

Still, there will be no shortage of tributes to the victims of 9/11 on Tuesday. One memorial at Highland Memorial Park in Ocala, Florida, displays 2,741 American flags — one for each of the attacks’ victims. Another at Pepperdine University in California includes a flag from the nationality of each person killed on Sept. 11, 2001.

Even young Indian students in Amritsar, India held a candlelit vigil and offered prayers ahead of the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on Monday.

The installation of flags has been an annual event since September 2011 and will remain on dispaly until the close of Pepperdine's 75th anniversary celebrations on September 19.

And while the nation will mourn on this day, we will never forget.

It should never be forgotten that the root cause, the ultimate cause, of 9/11 was Islam—-no Islam, no 9/11.

  Islam was a tool….the rogue government uses them to carry out what they cannot get our own military to do.. Jimmy Carter’s US Security Advisor Zibignew Brezenski , got a small group of freedom fighters( who would later become Al Quada.). together in Afganistan to cause trouble in Kabul..so as to draw Russia into a 10 yr Viet Nam style war to bring her down as a super power..Do you not remember Bill Clinton training Osama Bin Laden and arming them to go agaisnt Russia?. I also understand that our own CIA created the Muslim Brotherhood to help us out.. It’s funny that just 7 yrs after 9/11..we got a Muslim President..and upon his taking office.. Bill and Hilary helped Al Franken get cheated in and Al’s job was to go to the middle east to invite Muslims into key government positions here in the US..Doesn’t look like our government considers them enemies..

  Bush on Islam and 9/11. Of course the blind hatred and bigotry of the Beckerheads obscures the truth.
  
  “All Americans must recognize that the face of terror is not the true faith — face of Islam. Islam is a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. It’s a faith that has made brothers and sisters of every race. It’s a faith based upon love, not hate.”

  I agree 100%. I was going to say that while we won’t forget this thing….our damned government has relaxed all standards and welcomed islam into the US with unrestrained love and open arms. I despise the government for allowing that.
  
  If I had been the pres…I’d have sent every non-citizen muslim packing to what ever crap hole they crawled out of and I’d never let another one waltz through our doors. There wouldn’t be any new or revised or rebuilt mosques, either.

  For our 31st anniversary this year, we stayed a few nights in the hotel where the “Memorial are ablaze in lights Friday, Sept. 9″ photo was taken from the outdoor terrace – a remarkable view.
  
  This was a moving visit to the vibrant financial district of this truly remarkable town, an All-American City that will never give in to terror, will never give up in fear.
  
  So much progress has been made since the last time we visited a hotel at the site in October 2011 – when the devastation was still immense, there was still hanging dust in the air and seemingly endless convoys of fallen concrete, glass and steel were being loaded on truck beds by sweat-covered teams of hard-muscled volunteers who came across our country to be part of the clean up, restoration, and healing.
  
  Sadly, some of these responders have become afflicted with lung diseases and cancers. But today we must look at the future and the resilient nature of true American patriots, and remember those with enough class to maintain a civil tongue in their heads when treading on hallowed topics.
  
  POW/MIA, TEA. God Bless the USA

  2. That is why we bombed the “so called” aspirin factory in Sudan. Just so you all know allegedly some Germans in the French Foreign legion, who later worked for the south Vietnamese government, went to an owner of a herbicide factory had him manufacture poison gas & wiped out a Viet Cong base camp south of Saigon. But we paid the owner of the aspirin factory so as to not give up sources & methods. Point is us that Clinton attacked Osama in Sudan. It was kind of slap fighting except on an international scale. That is he half heartedly threw a few cruise missiles.

9/11 the day we gave America away — 9/11 our day of shame.

Just how has America grown from the plan set into motion so long ago. The power of the money changers holds our Nation hostage, fear of loosing green paper keeps the weak American slaves in check, who would have thought that paper chains would be stronger than the steel of a tall building.

Say what you will about them in general, the Big Boys have handled this well.

GW went in there and showed them we’d fight back. Contary to the ignorance promoted by the media, taking out Saddam cut Muslim support for terrorism and Al-Qaeda in half.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/14/AR2005071401030.html
If Al-Qaeda had help, and they probably did, it was probably Saddam.
——-
And electing a black man, who 99% of Muslims on earth think is a fellow Muslim?

Never give a sucker an even break.

1. Hussein has followed GW’s agreement with Iraq to the day. He even wanted to stay longer but the Iraqis wouldn’t let him.
2. Hussein has doubled the troops in Afghanistan.
3. Hussein has attacked another Muslim country and taken out another Muslim dictator with American blood on his hands. Khadaffi.
4. Abu Graib, some perverts made the prisoners pose in their underwear and the world was coming to an end. Unter Hussein, we had a serial murderer and some degenerates he influenced serially murder innocent Iraqis at random, hack them up and take pictures. Thousands of pictures availavble to the press of the world, and Muslims don’t even care.
5. Hellfire missiles landing on the heads of Islamists all over the planet, with or without the permission of the country harboring them, including filthy Pakistan….

  6. Went into filthy Pakistan and kiilled Osama dead, would have caught hell if things went badly wrong. (Granted with the help of GW’s waterboarding.)
  7. Guantanamo Bay is still there and no one cares, including the Muslims, because Hussein is president.
  8. Waterboarding was out of the bag anyway, might as well have someone officially not approve (until we really need it again.)
  
  Ole’ Hussein is an Islamist killing son of a *****.
  
  That’s why the fix is in, and he will be reelected over the Mormon stand-in. We got some more Islamist killin’ to do.

When the real great and terrible day comes, many will be saying this should not be happening. Whats coming to this land is greater than what happening on 911 which will seem like a drive by random shooting event in comparison.

“God Bless America continued”

God raised up America to be a righteous partner in protection over his people in the land called Israel which God made a covenant with for all time calling his people his own and saying that those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. America being a God fearing people from the government down to the average Joe on the street understood this.

God put righteous men incharge of a nation with through them would fight WWII to free men in many nations so that they too would know the Lord. These nations looked to the USA for guidance and protection which this God blessed nation was so generous to provide. Provide she does even though she is faultering on her own two feet presently.

Without God in our nation we are no longer a God Blessed nation, we are a nation who has turned her back on God saying we don’t need you anymore and furthermore we don’t even believe you are creator. God does not force himself on the peoples of the world and therefore will pull away his grace, protection and mercy to allow us to see how things will really be without him in our daily lives.

America today is facing many terrible things that shold not be for our wicked ways against God.

  The grandparents stood firm and fought fascism and were victorious. The parents guarded the front door against communism during the cold war and prevailed. The grandchildren dumbed down by television, hip hop and rap, political correctness, high on their MTV, and blinded by multiculturalism went to the back door, opened it wide, invited the enemy inside the house. The enemy is now from within and is running the schools, the government and the media.

Jews practice Judaism..the study of the first 5 books of the Bible and do not associate themselves with Zionists whom they consider to be Communists/Atheists/New World Order Globalists..The wool has been pulled over our eyes..The Jews do good and got along with the Arabs until the Zionists showed up.The Zionists have hijacked the standing of God’s chosen..

  Good for you…..Everyone remembers the tragedy how it looked and how it affected us, but few remember the reason….to kill Americans. Islamics, in my opinion, are far to comfortable in this country and like in England are pressed to become huge here. 911 will happen again….not doubt about it. Without God, we are weakened immensely and subject to the same punishments of a wayward people. God help us, please God, help us. He loves us, but we must be faithful and devoted servants of His will..

  I have been watching the NatGeo channel since last Friday…they have been running all types of 9/11 shows…some that I have never seen and a new one debuted on Sunday called “Voices from the Air” with previously unheard audio from the inflight recorders and calls to the ground…
  my son, 9, and daughter, 7, have been watching with me from time to time…we watched a 2 hour show on Saturday…Fox News was running a show as well…
  i tried not to be upset when my son kept asking questions and making comments during the show but he is 9 and doesn’t understand…he even wanted to know why I was crying…I explained what happened but he still doesn’t get why they would fly the planes into the Towers to begin with or that people were jumping instead of going down the stairs or elevator or why the firemen couldn’t put out the fire…
  but he is 9….and since he was 4 he has professed the dream of being a US Navy SEAL and one day he will understand and one day he will carry the fight with his Team to the Enemy….and every day from now until then I will prepare him for his journey in the Teams…he is already a deadly marksmen, athletic, smart, and when able he will be a black belt by 18, an Eagle Scout, and in JROTC…hopefully a Naval Academy grad as well…

  You hate conservatives
  You hate Israel
  You hate the Tea Party
  You hate limited government (but LOVE big government)
  You hate the military
  You hate anyone who says anything positive about Glenn Beck or any other conservative host
  You hate Christians

  Or better yet..tell me why Obama went against families’ wishes and allowed himself to be photographed saluting our honored fallen returning to Dover? Bush expressly forbade that by the way. The picture was then posted as “photo of the day” on the whitehouse website. Yes..Barry so loves the troops when it’s not politicall expedient for him to do so..just ask Corpseman Rashard.

“America the Beautiful”

Will they dance and will they ever sing, No More?
All America waited to hear for word, then No More.
As the sirens wailed and the whistles blew, No More!
Islam danced in the streets of Palestine-Egypt-Iraq-Iran.

Innocent citizens, firemen, policemen and military alike
now remain American heroes, now gone and No More!
All good innocent men and women murdered at work
denied their American dream, taken from us on 9/11.

Muslim lunacy waged their ill-fated attacks America
on living towers that have gone from dust unto dust
victims who looked alike as they worked together
in buildings and in planes they died side-by-side.

They’re our brothers and sisters born of tragedy
who cared for one another. Dear God, no more!
Heaven’s door opened wide that day for them
now to watch over America from high above.

Never forgive nor forget that attack America!
Together rebuild and defend America’s way
in their names and America’s scared honor.
Know that they’re all a part of us forever.

America’s flag flies red, white and blue
her stars shine for the entire world to see.
The spirit of America lives on and shouts
America the Beautiful is free forevermore!

  “God Bless America”
  
  God Blessed America through the Judeo-Christian code and many followed it as told.
  Our lands were abundant and produced enough for us and the world over, even our enemies children who starved in their own lands. America the generous Christian nation was replaced by the State who chased God from every corner of our system.
  
  America a God Blessed nation forgot the principal of reaping and sowing. Her leaders told the people its alright to sin and so they did. Its alright to walk out on your marriages and so they did. Its alright to claim taxation dollars from your fellow citizens and so they did.
  
  So God in his infinite grace and mercy lifted his hedge of protection over the United States of America in order to warn us and draw us nigh to him. We harkened to his warnings(911)for a brief period of time and then rejected him even greater.
  
  So God lifted his hedge of prosperity and allowed greed to over take us. We gloried in our new homes and easy interest until it could no longer be maintained, then we walked on our responsibilities thus causing greater hardship on even those not involved. This caused some to wonder what was happening to us as a nation. Some heeded the warning and still others continued to reject God.
  
  So God turned us over to our immoral belief in same sex marriage, the highest office of the land endorsed. This will not stand. God will not be mocked! God will judge and we will reap what we sow in the land God onc

  Really, Chief George, you are blaming Americans for 9/11, using the same twisted logic of Pat Robertson.
  
  You worship a vain and unjust God and I have pity for your family members that must live with such a pompous, self righteous, *****.

I’m extremely disappointed that Univeristy of PIttsburgh did not do a memorial service for 9/11 victims today! They have always done one in the past! They even had the 2000+ flags representing the victims. no prayer, no service, no flags! Shame! Well, at least they did put the flag at half-mast.

Every act of religious terrorism has come from the militant Muslims. We cannot separate peaceful Muslims from the militant as it is the militant who direct all others. Do not become complacent about the peaceful Muslim areas in America. When their population reaches 5% of the area, a “new” mullah who will promote Muslim faith over all others will be in place. And the funding will come from our Muslim friends in Saudi Arabia. It’s time to stand up to the threat that is coming. Never forget WHO struck us on 9/11/2001. Seventeen of the 19 hijackers were Saudi and ALL were Muslim.

  So we should forgot about the founding principal of this nation because of the acts of a few and the paranoia of some. The Pilgrims braved the open ocean and uncertain future for religious freedom. Jefferson enshrined in the Bill of Rights for Virgina, which was used as a model for the Bill of Rights in the Constitution. Yet, because of the fear and bigotry of you and others we should as a nation abandoned this enshrined principal.

  Who decides what is a genuine religion?
  
  The GOVERNMENT? They know the mind of God?
  
  If a group supports terrorists they are a terrorist supporting group whether they or the government says they are a religion.

The BLAME for what happened 11 years ago TODAY. lies SOLELY on those who HATE America! And that includes those of you on this site, that trivialize the act, by saying it was something other than what it was, TERRORISM! Anyone who claims it was anything else or committed by anyone else, needs to be relieved of their American citizenship, and escorted OUT of this great country! You ALL make me sick!! What was done to US, cut us to our core, and should NOT be treated as anyting else than what it was, an attack by HATERS of this country! Shame on those who see it ANY different! You are pathetic little losers,and deserve GODS eternal punishment! And by the way, YOU WILL!!

  Who says it wasn’t an act of terrorism?..and who said that those who did it don’t hate America?..The ones who financed it do hate America..and want a globalized government..which is happening before our eyes..they are bankrupting us..crashing our currency..turning us into a police state..and taking over the world with the greatest military on earth..As Dick Morris said..700 billion in TARP went to Sharia Compliant Banks..meaning they fund organizations which fund terrorism.so those “terrorists” were used as mercenaries..David Rockefeller(one of the creators of the Federal Reserve..says that he does not work in the best interest of the United Sates..see post below..The Rothschilds of the Federal Reserve have been planning the world takeover since the 1700′s..Oh and as for losing our citizenship? Why would we need it in a globalized government? Men who start wars for financial gain by funding all sides..selling weapons and medical supplies to all sides etc…in which millions have been killed ..think nothing of a measly 3 thousand people being killed..Fingerprints of 9/11

We must never forget. . .and 9/11 must always remain a day of REMEMBRANCE and not a day “service” as dictated in the 2009 Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, signed by Barack Hussein Obama!

God bless all those who needlessly died that day; God bless their families as they struggle daily to deal with their loss; God bless America; God protect America, God HELP America, now more than ever!

  …But Tehran? Might be too late, might not. Every day we wait it becomes more certain it’s too late. The shame of it is mot Iranians don’t support the goverment and they will suffer the most.

George W. Bush was the president God placed to lead us at that time; Mitt Romney is the president to save America next. God gave us the Constitution and the United States of America. The Creator is God. He controls all the Earth, allowing free agency. Love will win against hate; ignore the trolls.

History will tell who was the better president—George Walker Bush or Barack Hussein Obama.

  I agree with Paul Ryan that the Government should freeze any and all aide to Pakistan and start treating them like the hostile adversary that they truly are.

  You’ve clearly never been to a mental health conference shortly after a major terrorist attack. You don’t get to see it with a just a capital “H.” We’re talking H-A-T-E.
  Do you prefer your hate demonstrated in fiery plane crashes? Or do you not even consider that hate?

  well gee, I hope your proud of yourself, Gooch.
  
  Not particularly, but thanks for asking. My problem since the 2001 terrorist attacks is that ignorance still continues to reign supreme. And this allows not only the haters (on both sides of the coin), but also the grief mongers, apologists & enablers. Listen, you can have a moment of silence & bow your head respectfully. Hell, I’ll join you. But if you wanna lecture me & tell me I can’t call BS when I smell it, see it, or hear it, you can get bent… &I don’t particularly if that offends you or not.
  There is a point where your emotions don’t matter. And, as a matter of course, there is a point where my emotions don’t matter.
  There are people bellowing on this site as to why George W. invaded Iraq. Gee, I’d start my questions with the U.N. And maybe some of the Iraqi people. Get over the “W” obsession & see the bigger picture.
  I was at a mental health conference in Philly shortly after 9/11. Lots o’ people wanting to rationalize why the attacks were deserved. These were the men & women working in your schools as mental health professionals saying you and I (in our ignorance) deserved to have planes and buildings crashing around us. Lovely.
  Fixate where you will. Me, I’ve made it a point to educate myself on the religion of submission. Funny. Isn’t that what you’re calling for? No thanks. For me, the grieving is over.

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Just shows that you have no intelligence. George Bush didn’t want his presidency to be about wars starting out. At least he had the courage to do the right thing and protect our nation. Just what would you have done. Handed over the country to Al Qaeda?

  Thank you. You speak for a lot of folks, including me. Babies do have a way of reminding us who we are. I like the picture of the flags with the children running. Perfect example. I do agree with those who think we have lost many of our freedoms though. Those who knowingly gave their lives in Shanksville,PA gave them for us which to me means work harder to keep our freedoms and against tyranny in any form. And that is now. Of course, those at Pearl Harbor, the same. At Tripoli, the same, In Baatan, the same and WW1 and WW2, the same. Let us not forget all of those as well. Thanks for the pictures, Blaze.

Not to be negative, but I think it’s crap.

Should have used all the real estate for building a much bigger complex, and integrated the memorial right into the main structures, not as a sideshow. The peoples’ names could have been etched right into the facade. It would have given it more of a “moving on in the American spirit” sort of feel, as opposed to a couple of depressing holes in the ground.

The name “One World Trade Center” sucks, too. Very insulting to America if you know what the end goal of the globalists is.

Hate it… no disrespect intended at all.
