I myself was a bit puzzled by JWP replying to you instead of to Frankie Fontaine, Major D.

I lived in Great Falls, VA at the time and it sure was quiet for the next three days w/no flights going into/out of Dulles Airport.

Yep, USG caught w/their pants down on 9/11. Politicians have answers for everything. Of course it will most likely be an answer you don’t want to here or not even answer the query but it satisfies the press and the politicians allies.

Left-handed or right-handed – why nitpick the details. The main objective is hitting the target not which hand is used to pull the trigger. Are you concerned whether a pilot is left-handed or right-handed? I thought this forum was about coins.

9/11 was a tough day here in Washington, D.C. And the days following where tense too. Military Humvees and troops on many street corners w/firearms at the ready. Not a pleasant sight seeing this in downtown D.C. My office was 3 blocks north of the White House so thank goodness the aircraft didn’t hit there.

Seth,

I’ll never forget this day as I remember where I was when the first plane hit the tower and then the realisation that this wasn’t an accident immediately after the second jetliner slammed into the other tower. I can’t believe 22 years have passed since that fateful day. Is anyone else feeling old? My thoughts and prayers are for the remaining family/friends of all those taken from us on that day.

ALWAYS REMEMBER!

CaliSkier,

Nice overview of that particular 9-11 U.S. Mint silver memorial medal program – the most important one in Mint history. Along with the separate designs of the bronze 9-11 Mint medals too. I bought 5 of each of the silver & bronze medals for me & my 4 nephews & taught them about the importance of never forgetting those terrorist attacks & explained to them exactly what happened & the significance of that fateful day on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. I will never forget, and they will not either thanks in part to those beautiful medal tributes.
Thanks CaliSkier, for reminding everyone about
9-11 & the good advice for those who don’t own any of those medals that now is a good time to purchase some for their collection.

ALWAYS REMEMBER!

CaliSkier,

Nice tribute… and I will never forget where I was on that fateful day in USA history & will never forget the horrible terrorist attacks on our homeland. May the so many victims who died that day 22 years ago RIP & may such an horrific attack on the USA never happen again. Amen.
