Dear dooBdoo,
Yes that thread was very sad, and I know the sadness but still cannot speak much of it.
Some sights never leave your memory but remain and can play like a video movie, over and over again.
Many cause horrific nightmares.
Yes it is heartbreaking for many, and no we should never forget, and we won't.
The memories of all who lost their lives due to that horrific terrorist attack will always be blessed and receive prayers.
No we shall never forget, but we must always remember just who was responsible for causing that horrific attack on innocent people both on the ground, and in the air.
I pray this never happens again, and still would have preferred if they made the entire area a memorial with a religious structure with an area set aside for WTC victims with their names also inscribed for all to come and pray for their souls, and for their families.
I know St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church on Cedar Street was a Church we loved and visited often. There was a lovely very old Greek woman in her 80's who used to come ever day and tidy up. That Church was so well cared for, and it used to be a tavern erected in the 1800's before it became St. Nicholas G.O. Church in 1922.
Now the new St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Byzantine church will be erected, and it certainly is long overdue since 2001.
Belowis a link which has photo's of the original Church before the WTC 9/11 terrorist attack and collapse, and what the new St. Nicolas Church will look like when completed.

I am so looking forward to visiting it.
I miss the people I loved and lost, relatives, some of our fabulous neighbors, and dear friends, as well as wonderful business associates of the WTC ..... all victims of the 9/11 terrorist attack.
I also miss all the old familiars, associated with the Wall Street Financial District.
I miss Wolf's Delicatessen on Broadway, and the Irish pubs we used to frequent. I miss shopping in Alexanders Department Store in the WTC, I miss cocktails and luncheons in the WTC restaurants, and enjoying the cuisine at the Windows Of The World restaurant, and the WTC Observation Deck. I miss it all.
What I will say as the tears stream down my face in remembrance is my husband's happy whistle whenever he used to attend business related meetings in the WTC, stopped echoing for a very long time, after 9/11. "That happy go lucky whistle and the gleam in his eyes died that day, and was replaced for the longest time with a haunted sadness, because many that he respected, liked, and loved were all killed.
What causes animals masquerading as humans to cause such horrific death to so many innocent people?
The Koran does not condone the taking of any life, so when these terrorists commit these acts of murder and destruction and say the words in the name of Mohammed, and in the name of Allah, they are lying, and the ones they are lying to the most is themselves.
They will never enter into Paradise and everlasting life, but burn in the lake of h*ell fire for eternity, and even that is too little a fate to suffer for all they killed, and the destruction they enacted, just for the sake of hatred for anyone who is not of their religious fanatical beliefs.
They are sick fanatics and extremists who must be weeded out, and dealt with swiftly. They are the cancer of the earth.
I cannot stop crying now but I will say I hope we all feel better very soon as 9/11 remembrance every year makes me feel so sad, and quite heart sick, as I am sure it does to others my dear kind sweet friend.
May God grant us all some inner peace to deal with this sacred remembrance every year, and keep the light burning brightly for continued freedom.
DooBdoo we all must ensure that everyone from this generation and future generations never forget.
