I’m not sure what to make of the Reuters headline, Pentagon Sept 11 memorial revives painful memories. Is it just as it seems, or, are they implying, like so many on the left, that the memories are painful, so, just move on already. Anyhow, I’ll take it it without any sort of hidden meanings
On the morning of September 11, 2001, Patrick Smith was walking toward a television set in a Pentagon office to get news of the attacks on New York’s World Trade Center when he heard a loud boom.
“The wall in front of me kind of buckled inward,” he recalled. “The ceiling tiles and wires all started coming down, then it went black and then … a giant fireball just came over the wall.”
Such scenes will pass through the minds of many survivors on Thursday, when the first major permanent U.S. memorial to commemorate the September 11 attacks will be dedicated to the 184 victims of the assault on the Pentagon.
I’ll be interested to see how many on the Left, including the media, bother mentioning the 7th Anniversary, and the fact that there have been no attacks on America soil since.
