Has it really been five years already? I'll never forget that day when my husband woke me up to tell me the country was under terrorist attack and the twin towers had fallen.
Please join me in saying a prayer (if you believe in that sort of thing) or at least just remembering those whose lives were lost and the families that have been forever changed by the loss of loved ones.

I am in no way religious, but I do believe in respecting others. For those who stepped up to help that day, and every day since - thanks.
It was a terrible day and I cannot even begin to imagine the loss felt by those directly involved. It should simply have never happened.

It is a terrible thing when so many people die in one place at one time.
So sad for America

Sadder still are the many stories behind the tragedy. Many who assisted in the emergency and clean-up are still suffering and not being helped.
We will likely never know the real truth behind this travesty. I hope it wakes more of the sleeping before it is used as an excuse to kill freedom forever.

The Budweiser Story (not a joke) This is TRUE!
How Budweiser handled those who laughed at those who died on the 11th of September, 2001...
Thought you might like to know what happened in a little town north of Bakersfield, California.
After you finish reading this, please forward this story on to others so that our nation and people around the world will know about those who laughed when they found out about the tragic events in New York, Pennsylvania, and the Pentagon.
On September 11th, a Budweiser employee was making a delivery to a convenience store in a California town named McFarland. He knew of the tragedy that had occurred in New York when he entered the business to find the two Arabs, who owned the business, whooping and hollering to show their approval and support of this treacherous attack.
The Budweiser employee went to his truck, called his boss and told him of the very upsetting event! He didn't feel he could be in that store with those horrible people. His boss asked him, "Do you think you could go in there long enough to pull every Budweiser product and item our beverage company sells there? We'll never deliver to them again." The employee walked in, proceeded to pull every single product his beverage company provided and left with an incredible grin on his face. He told them never to bother to call for a delivery again.
Budweiser happens to be the beer of choice for that community. Just letting you know how Kern County handled this situation.
And Now The Rest Of The Story:
It seems that the Bud driver and the Pepsi man are neighbors. Bud called Pepsi and told him.
Pepsi called his boss who told him to pull all Pepsi products as well!!! That would include Frito Lay, etc. Furthermore, word spread and all vendors followed suit! At last report, the store was closed indefinitely.
Good old American Passive-Aggressive A$$ Whoopin!

Nope, it's fake.

The Budweiser version is every bit as much a fiction as all the rest of this genre: The events described never happened, said Dennis Muleady, marketing director for Advance Beverage of Bakersfield, the Budweiser distributor for the McFarland area. As well, a query to Anheuser-Busch produced the following response:
Please know that we have investigated the matter and have found there is no truth to this story. We've checked extensively on this story in a number of different locations, with wholesalers and retail accounts and there is no report of a customer reacting in such a manner. Therefore, no product has been pulled from any retail account.
