On a serious note....

[72Chero]

With Monday just around the corner. It's been five years, let us not forget what happened (as if anyone could) I don't know if I'm crossing the rules line but...I want to take a moment to let all of those families know, who lost a loved one on 9/11 that they are in my prayers...and to all of the Soldiers, men and women who are out doing their jobs....making our country safe for us to be able to sit in front of our little jabber boxes and talk on great forums like this one.....THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!!!!! Don't forget to fly your flags proudly on Monday. And if you think about it, take a moment just for all of the fallen.

Otis, I apologize if I stepped over bounderies but I'm posting this at all the sites......:cool: :o I'm a member of. Thanks guys/gals.

You did not step over any boundies,

The main rule is to be nice to each other and be happy all subjects and conversations are welcome.

Yes we all should take time to remember 911

When I say it's about cars, I simply mean please be nice to each other, and other conversations are welcome.

As soon as all members realize this is a nice place as you and the other current members already have we will all grow and have fun together.

Talk about cars, friends, hobbies, anything, I just want it all to stay civil. that is the key to our success.

what happened on 9/11 sucked, and i mourne all that died, and their families, but im not so gung-ho about putting out flags. my whole family is like this. we all just figure so many people a day die of terrorist attacks, and ghetto shootings, and anything other possible way to die, but we dont see how 9/11 is any different. what happened ther should not have happened, and osama should at least man up a bit and fight with us afterword, instead of just killing thousands of civilions, and go into hiding, but like i said, i dont see how the people who died at ground zero are any more special than the people who died yesterday, or today. no one i know takes time to remember them, but the 9/11 deaths are just so special to everyone. i hope what i said doesn't stirr up any trouble.

enhance your calm....dude. I can count on both hands and feet how many loved ones I personally lost. I mourn their deaths everyday of my life including my dad. And tragically we do lose friends each and every day...this just is an auspicious day...it is tragic and it effected each of us differently. This is not so much to just mourn the lost. Because if you think about it... this was not a loss just to those at ground zero, but a loss to us all. In different ways, we lost security, confidence and unfortunately some lost faith. And that is what is most sad, losing the faith of our Country and GOD. That is what I'm mourning. Also I live in a very strong military community. We have virtually all of the armed forces right here with the exception of the Navy. Their ships dont set well in the mountains. If for no other reason do it for FAITH.

I just think people have forgotten. I can't and won't. I'm going to have a grandson in a couple months and I want this world to be better for him and the rest of you young people. We have to start here... that's all I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks for your input. Its appreciated. And I'm sorry for your losses as well. :o :rolleyes:

[Duster_340]

thanks... i think iv only lost... 5 family members in my life, and im sorry for yours as well. my father was one of them, when I was 2. its a shame i never really had a chance to feel emotional about it.

Hey I was 12, I remember how my sister just didn't understand she was 5. It's really very hard to go through but you do find strength. Sometimes its just in places like this, knowing there is someone to talk to and maybe someone who has been there.

[Duster_340]

my mom has told me many stories about my father. he knew his way around any car, and if he didn't he'd read the manual for a few minutes, and hed fix it. Im happy to say I have his mechanical genes in me. i just wish he was hear to teach me about cars, so ib be better.

You know, with that drive...and you inquizative nature you will learn alot. And there are sites like this one with alot of old guns hanging around to help you. Just remember baby, the only stupid question...is the one you don't ask. I'm sure if they don't know the answer they can find it. You have a very good head on your shoulders, you are going to be good at this.

[Duster_340]

and im confident about it, thank you.

[72Chero]
