Remember

In all the news reporting on the anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, I have yet to see images or video from that day. There has been a quiet embargo of sorts, a hesitance to remind Americans of the horrors that were inflicted on us.

I believe the embargo has allowed us to quiet the anger we felt that day, a righteous anger that David Rusin says we should maintain.

Every September 11, I make it a point to watch the news coverage from that day. Not to renew my anger, although it does that, but to make sure I never forget what happened - that I always remember the nature of the enemy we fight.

Below are videos that compile the news reports from that day.

The news before the attacks:

The initial bulletins:

The South Tower attack:

The South Tower collapse:

The Pentagon attack:

I should add that I am disgusted beyond belief by the number of Truther videos YouTube hosts.

Last video. I know this song is a bit schmaltzy, but it captured the emotions I felt that day and I cried when I heard it for the first time.
