    Remember, America only exists because we fought a war with Britain. The fact that this happened, and was cheered _by Britons,_ says to me that we're gonna be alright. All of us.

      It's always confused me, 9/11. Having always followed dd/mm system, i thought the attack was 9th November. I always related it to 26/11, the Mumbai terror attack. Quite late did i realise that US followed mm/dd so it's 11th September.

      She was certainly a Monarch that sets the benchmark in modern times for others to follow. Classy, respectable and even her previous Colonial subjects in the US loved her. She even played our National Anthem, a song about overcoming relentless British attack and persevering, in front of Buckingham Palace on 9/11 out of solidarity for her best ally. She also put boots to ground in WW2 as a truck driver so she wasn't quite the sheltered princess which to me is just respect. Tough lady and from what I can tell a good, honest and caring Monarch. Not sure there will ever be one like her again.

It touched so many Americans hearts to have our Mother-Country (France being our other) play the U.S.A. national anthem! Americans often feel ridiculed by the world for airing our dirty-laundry, laughing at ourselves, being silly while not apologizing for it, but Great Britain probably understands that more than any other nation (i.e. Benny Hill, Rowan Atkinson "Mr. Bean", Charlie Chaplin, Monty Python, etc.).

Shortly after graduating from Parris Island ( a few weeks ), I was walking through the Atlanta airport, proud as I could be to be a Marine and a young woman came up and spit on me and called me a baby killer. Imagine how hard it was not to react adversely to that. That disrespect was common then due to Vietnam. When I returned from Desert Storm, flew in on a C-5 landed at Dover to refuel. Everyone had to get off. They bused us to a hangar where they said we could shower and shave. As we walked in the door we found it full of civilians forming an aisle down the middle to the opposite corner where a vet was waving a large flag and they began to sing, " I am proud to be an American ". Myself and the 5 others with me that had served in Vietnam were on our knees crying to have lived to see the change. But this political environment and SJW's are much worse in my opinion.

You were there when the cold war reached it's peaks, and you were there during one of america's darkest hours.

    Oh my gosh, this made me burst out in tears. That was such an overwhelming, horrific day, and we were all so terrified, because we didn’t know if something else was still coming. All these years later, and sometimes that initial horror just rears up out of nowhere. It was very, very touching to receive such heartfelt support from other nations.

    I was a new mom when 9/11 happened and I live 2 hours from NYC. I remember all of the helicopters flying overhead and wondering what kind of world I brought my son into. I had no idea that Queen Elizabeth did this and it made me cry. It was a touching tribute and my already high respect for the Queen only increased.

    I was 16 when 9/11 happened, and being homeschooled, I saw the planes hit, the whole thing. It was so painful, it shocked us all out of our former perceived realities. I also remember watching this moment outside the palace on tv and crying my eyes out. It was so comforting and healing to know how much we were supported, and how much our allies also grieved over our fallen. God bless you all, and long live the Queen! 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧

And seeing people in certain countries laughing and cheering as I watched my countrymen jump 1,000 feet to their deaths to avoid burning alive was devastating. Then the Brits did this for us. They mourned with us. 67 Brits died on US soil on 9/11. We will never forget...the attack but also who our friends were in that horrible moment.
