They haven't fallen, they're still there, watching over us, I know it.
They weren't defeated, they weren't bested, but they were killed, and they couldn't have stopped it, though they tried to, so they are heroes.
They aren't lives lost, they are lives that were taken while serving their country, by fighting the terrorists on those planes, and trying to save thousands of others, and they did not fail, as there is still a White House today, though an acre of land in Pennsylvania is not.
May they rest in peace.

Well it seems I owe Mobius an apology. I completely misunderstood his post. Frankly my old eyes didn't even see the "." and thought it was a blank post. Sorry about that.....

And oddly enough, I didn't stop to think about writing any of that, it felt like I was typing sub-conciously.

I would just like to comment on this thread and please don't misunderstand me in any way, I am an ex-serviceman and did my part in the 90's, serving in two theaters..........admittedly, one was in a 4 star hotel and a sea crossing.......the difference between the army and the air force, we send our officers to do the real work. Anyway, I note that only American members have posted replies. The attitude towards the American serviceman by the American public seems to be very different to that of other nations armed forces and I am wondering why that is. In the UK, patriotic pride in the armed services is a very quiet and low key affair. Even to the point where the government will sometimes not have anything to do with the armed services in calibration for the fear of offending "someone"
Just a question and I am not looking to upset anyone here, but what/why/how do the US forces manage to get such patriotic feeling in it's country men?
