Been thinking about it a lot the last few days, as I do every year.
My respects to all Americans and the families of those who lost their lives on this day, those that died fighting against Jihad since then, and those who suffered or still suffer physical, health, and/or psychological trauma since.
I still resent the "good" Muslims who never spoke or speak out to condemn these acts or those that have followed.
And especially the ones right here in somewhat nearby to me Paterson, NJ, who were celebrating and dancing in the streets.

Yes..The Towers falling prompted me to write a concept Album or 3.
I was in NY 2 weeks earlier...hanging with friends... that Monday morning listening to Howard Stern at work..he was live in NY..it seemed like a joke for a few minutes
then the seriousness took over. We froze at work..just listened to the radio
writing WTF Twin Towers... the memory is ingrained permanently & knew my friend was at work that day. I never could watch it on the news until 2010..then it promoted so many other memories in life...wrote it all down that day. Sometimes life's events traumatize us in ways we never figure out to later.
It's a sad day..that day..

One of the most telling moments for me was when the 2nd (south) tower was hit, we all knew it was terrorism.
My wife was calling me to come home so we could get our 2 young kids from school and brace for what might happen next.
Within the next few days after, I was working in Perth Amboy NJ and went up to the roof of a 5 story where you can see across to the south end of Manhattan very clearly.
Not right up close like from Jersey City, but the sight of the skyline minus the 2 towers was chilling. I know so many people who had friends or relatives perish that day, or for whatever reason were not there when they normally would have been, but no one directly.
I have said for a long time any attack directly on the USA should result in retaliatory strikes against the attacker's home country or foreign assets, whether friend or foe, fair or not.
F*ck them.
You dont want payback? - Then make sure your FBI / CIA type units keep track or your Jihadies.
