an interesting bit of information:

[niyad]

just started watching "loose change" on my local pbs station, and heard this interesting little tidbit of information (may not be news to many of you, though)

did you know that ground was broken for the pentagon on sept 11, 1941? interesting, is it not?

1. Thank you for that information. I did not know that.

Before Pearl Harbor. All we had back then was radio and the newspapers.

2. Thank gawd I was a baby when that happened. No recall of that at all.

I'm getting so old I remember waaaay too much and can tell the tales, like the first TV, Cassius Clay, when Springsteen was a little kid down the street....sigh.

3. Yeah, that's interesting. I wonder what numerologists would say about that. nt

4. My uncle's birthday is on September 11 too

Didn't do him any good, though, he never did get inside the Pentagon.

5. sept 11 in history

The world was introduced to terrorism at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. These games ended on September
11, 1972. There were 121 participating countries (11X11=121), and 11 Israeli athletes were killed. Exactly 29
years (2+9=11) after this terrorist horror ended, another more despicable horror occurred - the September 11,
2001 terrorist attacks.

On September 11, 1990 President George Bush (Sr.) made a dramatic speech to Congress, outlining the US
position in the Kuwait crisis, and the preliminary steps the US was taking towards the Gulf War. Exactly
11 years later, on September 11, 2001, terrorists attacked America.

There is another oddity we noted in our research. On September 11, 1772, about 300 Indians and 50 British
soldiers began the siege of Fort Henry. This would be the last battle of the American Revolution. Researchers
and historians of this siege are puzzled by the meaning of a comment in a document describing these events.
It was recorded in a letter written by Lydia Cruger (11 letters), and it seems a fitting comment to this
section. She wrote, "The siege commenced about sun an hour high, Monday, 11th, at all events, the 11th."

September 11th plays a key role throughout early American history including a failed peace conference with
the British on September 11, 1776, and the first day the American flag was used in battle at the
Battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777
