The only real freedom anyone has is figuring things out for themselves. so mind your own business.

No refinery has been built in 40 years, California has shut 2 major ones in the last 12 months all for the climate hoax and yet you retards blame Trump.

Been watching some clips of Forrest Gump and it strikes me...you know the movie is from 30 years ago because back then a disabled white person could sit at a bus station and talk to strangers for 2 hours without being set on fire or decapitated by a migrant with 58 prior arrests

That little boy has no idea that one day, when he’s all grown up and facing the realities of life, he’ll look back and realize those were the happiest days of his life. ❤

With the way I see Jordan Love getting decked last season and already after one week this year…

I wonder if no retaliation is being coached currently…

Look at the way all of these boys protect Aaron Rodgers man.

[Voices From Vietnam @VoicesfromNam]

If you own a copy of We Were Soldiers Once... And Young, you are already holding a picture of him. The soldier on the cover, bayonet fixed, coming out of the elephant grass, is Rick Rescorla. Hal Moore called him the best platoon leader he ever saw.

He was born in Hayle, Cornwall, in 1939, a boy who watched American GIs stage through his town before Normandy and decided that was the life. British Parachute Regiment first, then Cyprus, then a uniform from a country he was not yet a citizen of. He joined the US Army in 1963 and by November 1965 he was a lieutenant in the 7th Cavalry in the Ia Drang Valley, the first major battle between American troops and the North Vietnamese Army. His men called him Hard Core. He came home with a Silver Star, a Bronze Star with oak leaf cluster, and a Purple Heart.

Then he became a corporate security director, which is where the story actually starts.

In 1990 Rescorla and an old Vietnam friend named Dan Hill walked the World Trade Center looking at it the way two infantrymen look at terrain. They found the weak point fast. The basement parking garage was wide open. They wrote it up and told the Port Authority that a truck full of explosives could be driven in and parked under the tower. The fix cost money, and it was declined.

On February 26, 1993, a truck bomb went off in that garage roughly thirty feet from the spot the two of them had circled.

Most people would have taken the vindication. Rescorla took the next step. He told Morgan Stanley the building was still a target and that they should get out of it entirely. The lease ran to 2006, so the answer was no. So he did the only thing left to him, which was to assume the attack was coming and train for it.

Every three months, no warning, he ran a full evacuation of every Morgan Stanley floor in the South Tower. Everyone went, down the stairwells, two abreast, at a pace he set. Senior executives went too, and he did not care that they hated it, and they did hate it. Traders being pulled off desks by a 60-year-old Cornishman with a stopwatch. He timed them. He made them do it again.

8:46 on the morning of September 11, 2001. The North Tower is hit. Over the public address system, the South Tower is told to stay put and return to desks.

Rescorla got on his bullhorn and told everyone to get out.

He was 62 years old. He was near the end of his career and he had every reason to be somewhere else that morning. Instead he stood in the stairwells and moved roughly 2,700 Morgan Stanley employees, plus hundreds of other people, down out of the building. To keep them steady he sang into the bullhorn. Men of Harlech. God Bless America. The Cornish songs he grew up on. Grown adults later remembered the strangest thing about the worst day of their lives was the sound of a man singing in a stairwell.

At 9:03 the second plane hit their tower, above them. Most of his people were already low or already out.

He called his wife Susan. She was watching it on television and she was falling apart. What he said to her was this. Stop crying. I have to get these people out safely. If something should happen to me, I want you to know I've never been happier.

Then he went back up.

He was last seen on the 10th floor, climbing, still going against the flow of people coming down. The South Tower collapsed at 9:59. His body was never recovered.

Morgan Stanley had about 2,700 people in that building. Six of them died. Rescorla and members of his own security staff, who stayed with him.

He spent eleven years telling people that an attack was coming and being told it was too expensive to prepare for. Then he spent the last hour of his life proving he had been right, and making sure it did not matter.

AOC's Presidential run may over in 24 hours after this. Please share so everyone sees the waitress and the Islamist communist mayor of New York City laughing together at the 9/11 memorial. The mainstream media will never run this.

There is now an entire generation alive which doesn’t have its own memories of 9/11

This video is for them. It shows what it looked like when Islamist terrorism arrived in the USA

Never forget…

[Nick Walker @nw3]

NYPD saved a lot of lives. Had a helicopter flying over the north tower watching it lean. FDNY wanted to go back up. Crazy that this all happened within 90 minutes or so. All heroes.

[MAGA Deb 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 @DebRN1953]

💔😭 The youngest FDNY member to be killed on 9-11 was Firefighter Michael Cammarata.

At just 22 years of age, he had been on the job just 9 weeks. When his company, Ladder 11 in Manhattan, was called to the scene of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, he left a message on his father's voice mail saying he was heading to the scene of the disaster. Mike, his family said, had always wanted to be a firefighter. He was also a star hockey player for New Jersey semi-pro team. Ten years before 9/11, Michael played in the Little League Baseball World Series for South Shore Little League of Staten Island, N.Y. Today, only one number is officially retired from use in the Little League Baseball World Series. It is Michael Cammarata’s No. 11, and it is still proudly displayed on the right field wall of Lamade Stadium, where he patrolled proudly as a member of his team at the age of 12. The Huguenot resident is survived by his brother Joseph Jr, parents, Joseph and Linda and his sister Kimberly Cammarata.

Mike was last seen conducting fire operations at the Marriott Hotel at the foot of the WTC.

Mike's remains were never recovered.

On June 7, 2003 a vial of blood donated by Mike during his time at the fire academy was buried with full department honors.

This is Michael Cammarata's list that his brother found inside his night table a day after he died. 1. "Take care of Jenna," referring to his girlfriend of 7 yrs.
2."Don't mourn me. This is the career I chose.
3."Make my spirit live on." 4."Remember I love you all will be waiting for you upstairs."

Mike's entire company of Ladder Co. 11 perished on 9/11.

May he continue to rest in peace with his brothers...

And yes Mike, Sirens and Salutes, Inc will always ensure yours, and all the Heroes taken from us that day, spirits will live on.

No, New York, you are not allowed to forget.

Neither are you, @CBCNews.
