<p>To the brave heroes of Flight 93, FDNY, NYPD, and all others who gave their time and lives to saving life and keeping the American spirit alive- you are always remembered. God bless America.</p>
<p>For the party to remember the 9/11 attacks I had there were much much less firemen/policemen who were invited than politicians. Is this true?</p>
<p>I’m not sure it’s a party.</p>
<p>Do we need this thread? This stuff is everywhere now.</p>
<p>If you mean the commemoration, Mayor Bloomberg, may he rot in hell, banned prayer from the ceremony and refused to allow any first responders to participate.</p>
<p>[No</a> thanks to God or first responders at Mayor’s secular 9/11 ceremonies - Beliefnet News](<a href=“http://blog.beliefnet.com/news/2011/09/no-thanks-to-god-or-first-responders-at-mayors-secular-911-ceremonies.php]No”>http://blog.beliefnet.com/news/2011/09/no-thanks-to-god-or-first-responders-at-mayors-secular-911-ceremonies.php)</p>
<p>Good, I’m an atheist.</p>
<p>And there’s that annoying status going around like, “Firefighters weren’t invited to the ceremony, like they weren’t invited to 9/11”</p>
<p>Yes, they were not invited, they were obligated to go and do their jobs.</p>
<p>^ I didn’t see politicians running into falling buildings to save lives.</p>
<p>Sure, it was their jobs, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that it takes a LOT of courage to risk your life to save others from death.</p>
<p>If you guys turn this thread about 9/11 into a flame war, I will officially loose all hope in humanity.</p>
<p>I don’t see how this event needs a 10th year for commemoration. How long is the celebration of a tragedy going to go for? I would understand a celebration occuring during the 10th and 100th year, but I don’t see any reason for 10 consecutive years of celebrating a tragedy.</p>
<p>It’s hardly a celebration…unless you mean from the terrorists’ point of view lol. I think of it as more of a remembrance which I feel is definitely necessary.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t think it would be the best thing if you lose hope in humanity because of high school students posting on a message board.</p>
<p>political trolling here coming from my years as a speech team extemp. competer:</p>
<p>fox news? come on, get a real source.</p>
<p>Although, yeah I have nothing against the sentiment you are bringing up, i totally think we should honor the victims and such.</p>
