OT: 9/11

[Rvnight18]

Off topic, but more important than football is 9/11. God bless those who perished on this day and after as a result of this tragedy. 9/11 will never be forgot. Remember that day, and remember the people you became on 9/12. Because when Americans are THOSE people, nothing is impossible.

As a reminder, we played the Jets in NY on the first Monday Night Game after 9/11. They just replayed Mooch's speech to the team after that game (which we won) and then interviewed him live on the NFL network. Still very emotional 10 years later.......

Bottom line.....

--Enjoy every day of your life to the fullest. None of us are guaranteed a tomorrow.
--Thank you to everyone who risks their life to protect us every day: soldiers, sailors, police, fire, emt's, intelligence agencies, and anyone else I forgot to mention.
--Never forget what happened on 9/11 as there are still evil people out there trying to do us (and many others around the world) harm.

Poor wording on my part, but I should have said the Jets first home game after 9/11. Sorry about that but I noticed it after the EDIT button disappeared.

This was taken from my old apartment in Brooklyn a month or two before 9/11.

10 Years later I snuck back onto the roof of my old building and took this on a visit back to NY.

(sorry the photos are so huge)

Don't ever lose that picture.....

You should sneak back one more time when the new tower is done.

Nice. What's that new building behind your left arm?

tomikcon.... for sure I am planning that. I am in the process of getting them framed to hang on the wall. Insane how the skyline has changed. Makes me sad and angry.

Ray... Im actually not sure. I am gonna have to ask my friend and see if she knows. I remember them building it though.
