That day was one of the only times I've ever seen everyone, no matter what gang they are from of what they have experienced in life, set aside their differences and focus on the the similarity of all being Americans. Aside from all the pain and terror of what happened that day, seeing this country be able to unite like that truly was the most heart warming thing I've ever seen. Yes we are in a tough place as a country right now, but I believe that unity is still inside all of us. God I hope we never have another 9/11 but that unity truly was beautiful.

      I was born in March of 1997 so I don't really remember 9/11 I was too young, but I do remember when Osama was killed my Mom came into my room crying and I thought something bad had happened but then she told me what happened and then me and my Siblings all got up and we just waited for Obamas announcement and when we knew it was confirmed he really was dead it was a huge celebration and my neighbors and everyone were banging pots and cheering like you normally don't hear outside of New Years Celebrations it was definitely a night I'll never forget.

I'll never forget what I saw and felt. When he was finally killed, I was in shock and so happy. He gleefully took away so many lives without hesitation. I never felt so American than that day and so connected with other Americans. Our differences didn't matter anymore. We came together instantly. ❤️ Also, I didn't realize how emotional I'd still be until I watched your video. I was crying both happy and sad tears.

Of course I didn’t understand it all, beyond it being something REALLY SUPER BAD, but that trauma is what led me to digging into it all, at different levels by age,& then with the Twilight Zone of computers/internet in all homes!!! His assassination was 6 weeks after he announced there were Really bad people in our Government & Secret Societies working to destroy our Constitutional Republic,& he was going to expose them all. Fun Fact-The phrases “Conspiracy Theory”& “Conspiracy Theorists”, was coined by the FBI, & spread by the media, to shame & dismiss those who Didn’t buy the Lies told of That assassination,& of course amped up the usage with other assassinations, & Any Government garbage pulled that was/is leading to Communism. One only needs to ask Why documents are Still being withheld 6 decades later, under the excuse of it being a National Security Risk, IF we were told the Truth?!? Bush Sr was photographed in Dallas that day, yet he maintained his Lie of being the Only adult in the World, who had access to TV’s or radios, who Didn’t know Where he was that day, or What he was doing, like everyone knows from 9-11, through his departure to H£LL to reunite with his father. Bush Sr’s Father was The Financial Backer of Hitler, making Him just as responsible for the deaths of millions of Our Soldiers, other countries’ soldiers, innocent Men, Women,& children in war zones, as well as the Millions of Jews murdered. He was instrumental in our Government refusing Jewish refugees, while Also instrumental, along with The Swamp Monsters, in secretly bringing thousands of War Criminals & Josef Mengele Wannabes,that were to stand trial in Nuremberg & be executed, into our country with new identities, to continue their horrific experiments on US. Bush Sr, a supposed Nobody at the time, was placed as head of the CIA shortly after JFK’s assassination, who had our military protecting Poppy Fields overseas, that was then turned into drugs sold Here, to begin the Murdering of our family members, while bankrolling The CIA, so they Wouldn’t have to answer to Oversight Committees for funding. He was the first to publicly use the phrase of “The New World Order”, on national tv as POTUS,& he was Hussein Obama’s “Mentor”, with photographs of him and 5-7 year old Hussein at his ranch. Bush Sr Always carried hard candies in his pockets, for Hussein, & later carried on the Endearing Private Joke of always having the Same hard candies for when he would see Michael. Hussein’s Grandmother was a Treasonous Traitor Bush used,& he was instrumental in getting his mother married to a foreign rich POS who did Dirty Works for Bush,& adopted Hussein, later leaving him Hundreds of Billions of dollars that Hussein keeps in that country to avoid taxes & questions. It’s no wonder Why Hussein had his entire life scrubbed from the public. It also answers the question of Why the Bush before Hussein’s reign, publicly stated numerous times, that he would Not be critiquing or criticizing Hussein’s Presidency, as has been done from the beginning of Presidents-bc he grew up with Hussein,& Hussein was like a Brother.🤬🤢🤮. 🙏⚖️🙏

    I was a junior (3rd year) in high school when 9/11 happened, and oddly enough I was at this game right after I got out of work, nearly a decade later, with my brother and my mom.
    It's a weird feeling to celebrate the death of a human, and not necessarily a welcome one either.
    But there was a sense of relief as a people that it might not happen again. That as long as that man was dead and gone, someone else wouldn't be able to fly into our tallest building and hurt us in the same manner.

    I wasn't alive when 9/11 happened, but the trauma, the pain, and the hate is passed down through generations from your family and your schooling.
    I remember back in middle school the minute of silence we would have, and how entire class periods would be dedicated to retellings of dead people's stories. I still remember the old piece of audio someone had taken during 9/11 that forever captured the sound of falling bodies hitting the cement. I still remember the story of a hero called the man in the red bandana.
    I grew up intimately familiar with the atrocity of 9/11, and the death of Bin Laden truly felt like justice had finally been served.
    If you want a more in-depth understanding of 9/11 and how Americans view it, I'd suggest looking into stories like the man I mentioned above, the boatlift, or old videos from the survivors (though the last one can get very dark and perhaps even graphic). These are the stories that children of the States are taught about in school from as early as 6th grade onwards and heavily impact how we view the topic.

    • @skyhawk_4526
      @skyhawk_4526 Год назад +12

      Thank you for this. I don't really consider myself as "an old guy," but in a sense I am. When I saw your statement that you weren't alive when 9/11 occurred, I guess I felt a little bit older than I normally do. I was 25 when it happened. Prior to that, in the 1990s, I had been an active-duty airman in the USAF. About 2 months prior to it, I had been in Manhattan for my cousin's wedding and seen the World Trade Center firsthand. (She and her new husband personally lost friends that day.) 9/11 is a day I'll certainly never forget. When it happened, I was a reservist in the Air Force, and working the nightshift at a private security job on the West Coast. I first learned of it at the end of my shift when I started my car to go home. The radio was on and they were talking about a plane that had crashed into one of the WTC buildings. It was so early on that none of them knew if it was a small private plane, an accident, or something else. I remember driving home and turning on the TV. At that point, it was pretty obvious to me (from my background and experience) that it was a large plane, and based on the clear skies, certainly not an accident. Then the second plane hit the other tower and I watched it live. I remember calling my mom and waking her up and telling her to turn on the TV. She was rather annoyed, but I told her, "This is big! We are at war now." I then began packing my military bags and I called my supervisor (at the security company I worked for) and told him I probably wouldn't be coming to work tonight. (Turns out I wouldn't be working for them again for a year.) Sometime during the day, I got a call from my reserve unit. They said nothing official came out, but I should pack my bags. I told them I already had. Later that evening, I was at the military installation (voluntarily) where my unit was stationed to help out with the dramatically increased security measures. Shortly thereafter, I found myself on active duty for another year, and for a time of it, deployed to the other side of the world. It was truly a life-changing event, and I don't regret at all being called back to active duty as a result of it. I'm actually glad I happened to be in that position at that time. Those days and obligations are long over now, but I'm glad to have been able to play a role in our response to it.
      So when I learned about 10 years later than Bin Laden had been killed, it was certainly an emotional time for me and all I served with. And obviously, even more so for anyone who personally lost loved ones in 9/11.

      @@skyhawk_4526 Wow, what an interesting story. I've heard a lot of tales from the civilian perspective, but not from someone who was part of the military. And yeah, it's amazing how just a couple years could make such a big difference. I only missed such a well-known event by a few years, and despite that, it was still very impactful on my life and affected a large part of my schooling. The changes 9/11 generated were not just personal, but perhaps even cultural.
      Being one of the people up and doing something after such a horrible situation must have been quite the feeling. I can't imagine how it was to be in your shoes, to be put on active duty, even if you were anticipating it.

I even allowed them to watch videos of the plane crashing into the buildings videos of them falling and of course the more touching videos of the people jumping. No reason to always cover their faces or ears. But no parent is a like

      ​@@naia-gl2nf I don't think the age of the child should matter. They'll find out somewhere else. I feel it's best for the parents to tell them. Kids do find these things out. So why don't they just tell their kids first.

    It's a night I'll never forget as an American, I was 21 at the time. Happened to randomly hear about the tweet hours before Obama announced it so getting to watch the crowds and everything build up before the announcement was something really special. I lived 20 minutes south of DC on 9/11 and was 11 years old. It's defined our entire generation as Americans.

    I remember this game like it was yesterday. I remember after the game nobody left and hearing the entire crowd sing the national anthem in unison was just breathtaking.
