Johnathan has already posted a remembrance for this day, but I would like to add a hearty “Thank you” on behalf of the Samizdata editorial staff to all the US and UK warriors who have fought and died for us over the ensuing years.
We will not forget you, either.
And the Australians and all the rest, Dale.
And to the soldiers, sailors and airmen of the UK, the US, and all those nations who’ve joined in the effort, thank you, you magnificent bastards, you won’t be forgotten.
Thanks to everyone in the U.K.
It wasn’t your problem, but you helped with the solution.
A rarity.
It was our problem. More Brits were killed on 9/11 than any terrorist outrage on these shores before or since. That is very much our problem.
Amen to that, Dale.
True enough I suppose Nick, but I will personally be eternally grateful for the way the UK behaved in the aftermath of 9/11. Here’s one of the many reaons so many Americans feel that way. Thanks guys, y’all were real pals during that awful time.
Bless them all.
The long and the short and the tall…

Good place to mention this petition(Link) then.
Spot on Walter.
The way we have treated our most loyal (and fearless)
troops is a bloody disgrace!
My friend, the LH of LH, his dad was a Major in the Gurkhas during WW2. Man the stories he used to tell us about those little guys in action!
SFC Matthew Hilton: Airborne Ranger, Platoon Sergeant, veteran of Iraq, killed recently in Afghanistan.
God bless you, Matt

And Corporal Sarah Bryant. A mate, and ex-colleague of my neighbour, Kieran, a fine English man and a ex-para-trooper.
Good post Dale.
Agreed.
