    Cannot believe its the upcoming 9th anniversary. Still so sad but GB does a beautfiful memorial to all that were lost. Good for the children that either were to young to understand or weren't born yet ….. to never forget!!

    Not funny, Anonymous. Especially to those that were directly affected by the events of that day.

      the point is that this is exactly what they're throwing in your face right at ground zero,so if this is the sentiment towards it then why can't common sense prevail over profit?it is and will always be about the money

    Joe,

    You are so far off base and extremely offensive. A lot of us here in GB have lost love ones on 9/11. Who the fuck do you think you are saying such a horrible thing toward the people of GB? They have the memorial every year to honor those lost and support the families that have suffered losing a loved one on that day. My brother was killed that day while saving others. I bet you don't have an ounce of courage in your body, and, for that matter, any compassion toward people and this country. You are a disgusting individual for making that comment. Go back into your hole and brood there. We don't need people like you around here or anywhere for that matter.

    Go ahead and try to tell your story to my mother or any other mother or father that lost a child that day and tell them that a memorial service is a chore. I dare you!!!!!!!!!!!

    New Driver,

    Please calm down. That piece of shit is not worth you getting upset about. It's your loss and the loss of the entire country that we come to celebrate and memorialize on 9/11. Your loved one and all the people who lost their lives will be in my prayers and in the prayers of many others. Wheter it was 1 person like your brother or thousands like the others who lost their lives that day, it was one too many. May the memories of the laughter and love you shared with him bring you pleace now and always.

    hey driver, i lost family as well on 9/11 i also happen to be an OIF/OEF vet. Now my words may be offensive, but it is my right as an American to have an opinion, and voice it as well.

    Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 3 Thumb down 5

      There is no way you lost someone on 9/11 and there is absolutly no way your a vet your a coward who would never put himself in harms way for anyone. Your the type that would let someone harm everyone in your family as long as they didn't hurt you. Joe people like you take advantage of the freedoms that OTHERS paid for in blood and it is your right but at the end of the day your still a coward. And for the families who lost someone everyday is a chore and everything reminds them of the person they lost…it's 9 year and it still feels like yesterday to me but I can look at myself and know I did my part while cowards like you sat at home playing video games OIF/OEF VETERAN NEVER…Never Forget 9/11
