Just for those curious, his family has stated multiple times he never lost ANYONE on that day. And they have 0 ties to anyone that didn’t make it that day. They said he’s not well, that’s why he’s doing this, not because he lost someone.
That don’t matter that he has no personal connections to 9/11. I live in Dublin Ireland, I’ve never been to America and I cry when I see anything about that day…. He’s human for f**k sake…❤️🇮🇪❤️
@@mrb6597I think they commented this because there’s so many people in the comments who are saddened by his perceived grief.. I don’t think them meant it to just point out there’s no reason for him being there🤷♂️ who knows.. either way it’s sad
@@lisacanavan5665😂😂 stop would ya. I'm irish too. And honestly it was a tragic event but I definitely don't get emotional about it because I have no connection to it, the event or anyone involved. The guy in the video is clearly looking for attention and fame.
As a man who suffers from severe mental health issues and has his whole life I just pray that this man gets the help that he needs just like I hope I get the help I need😢
I hear you. I hear that you look forward to the better days ahead. I hear your concern, I hear your compassion for this man with whom you can relate in some way. I hear you with my heart. Keep your chin up brother, and thank you for looking out for those of us, who hear you, like we do.
My first time being so close to my first genuine attempt, I felt bliss, happy even for the first time in a long time. A beautiful cliff edge, and nothing holding me back. A random dog ran up to me and comforted me for hours. Strange how the world turns some tides
When I saw the Person Filming Pan up to where he Jumped down from, I was Shocked that he could even Stand, bc like you I Questioned how he didn't Break his Legs or Back... But, If you look at his Face while he's Walking towards that Square Hole where he Lays down, you can see him Wincing in Pain. So, he definitely got Hurt & it was Reported he did Suffer Injuries, but I never heard what Injuries he Sustained. To Fall that far, in Water that appears to be Knee Deep at Best, I'm Shocked he Survived, let alone could Walk to the where he then Laid down. I Hope he got the Help he needs, that was Responsible for him Jumping into the Memorial that Day. I heard he was Arrested, which he didn't need Jail, he needed Inpatient Mental Health Treatment for whatever War was happening in his Mind.
I have a feeling the pain he felt from the initial fall prevented him from jumping down further. Since people going through mental health issues just want the pain to go away and experiencing real pain from injury tends to briefly overcome that pain.
@@XminiFresh13X i mean not really, he later dived head first into the smaller pool in the center, was rescued and consequently arrested, he indeed suffered from a lot of mental issues but nothing 9/11 related apparently
Just so y’all are aware?The man was retrieved and was arrested.He survived and is being evaluated for clearly mental health issues triggered by being at the monument.But he only had minor injuries miraculously 🙏🏻
@@PurplerVR Head injuries bleed more than other areas of the body.I know from personal experience.They always look worse than they are.I thought it looked bad too.But surprisingly he was okay.Except for his psychological state,obviously.He also had an injury to his leg.He is listed in “stable” condition.
What a lot of people don't understand is when you're really contemplating suicide, they don't want help, they don't want someone to talk to. They just want to be free from pain they're experiencing.
I was going through this horrible phase in my life when I was 17-18 years old. I remember standing face to face with a train but something told me to leave the tracks... It was the thought of my mother and how sad she would be if I were dead. I hated the thought of seeing my mom and sisters crying over me and that's what kept me alive despite how much I hated myself and I also knew God was with me. I'm 23 turning 24 soon and I'm now in a much better and happier Time of my life full of dreams and ambitions!! I know now how short and precious life really is and to always treasure everyday we have. ❤
It always saddens me when you read the comments the attacking of those whom you don't know or attacking a person who has more information, possibly regarding what we're watching. I remember holding my 3 month old daughter that day crying, apologizing for this new ugly world we live in. I called my dad at the police department (gave 27 years of service), and he told me to pack a bag and come "home." We knew one of the pilots, a steward, and an ENTIRE family on those planes. Never mind the countless firefighters who have aide only to succumb to cancer 20 years later. In my opinion, that's sacred ground. When 9/12 came, everyone was kind, nice, helpful, shocked, and a patriot regardless of your religion, sexual preference, race, etc. We were finally "United we Stand." Behind a screen, anyone can pretend to be anything. The ways we communicate online, i think we all need to reread before you hit send. We're all fighting some kind of battle nobody knows about. Just scroll past if you have nothing kind to say. Haven't we all dealt with enough hate? Ps i won't waste time debating about my comment. Just scroll by! Have a lovely Tuesday!
I like your comment and agree with you. I remember 9/12 just like you said. nobody cared about anything except just being an American and being around others.
@tonyrivera3186 at what part of their comment do they seem to think that the world REVOLVES* around them? They said it was a coincidence, not that it had some deeper meaning.

“We all” Uh no one I know is desecrating memorials like that or going to jump down a 30 ft hole. You can include yourself in that statement but not me😅 I know I’ve got serious problems but not that damn serious lmao
@@richardsanchez9397 Desecrating is destroying of property or showing no respect, all he was doing was laying down in the pool possibly mourning someone he lost.
@@richardsanchez9397 do you know what desecrate means? What is he destroying? All he's doing is looking at the bottom of the hole. Desecration is what the Dems and riotors do.
@@imin_yourcloset200he was bleeding and then threw himself over a literal concrete waterfall. If that’s not suicidal idk what is. You can be mourning and commit suicide you know that right ?
Maybe he doesn't have anything to live for, not everyone does, we are not created equal, and not all life is special. Sometimes getting it over with is the best solution, thinking otherwise only forcibly prolongs the suffering of others so you can selfishly feel better about it. This world is absolute hell every minute of every single fkng day for a large percentage of us, and it only gets increasingly worse the longer we stay just to appease others.
The big thing for me is not the fact that he has no injuries from that jump but, he looked sooo peaceful laying down looking into the other pool. 💯 That's something
I think "dark and scary" fits, and makes the memorial more moving. Surely it's meant to represent a hole or void in the city... a reminder that something is missing because it was violently taken.
It's certainly a moving monument, but this looks much more "scary" with the sky not included in the shot. In person, with full field of vision, it's not as ominous.
I've been there a couple times and it is a scary thing, a heavy thing, a beautiful thing and a very painful thing. They did well. The peace felt in that area is one of extreme respect and grief. I believe the memorials structure of a waterfall/deep drain help majorly solidify the healthy flow of feelings for what happened to humanity's trust that day, in that space. And grieve the lives that were so unfairly and brutally taken. It could have been and still could be any one of us. As a country as well.. we have been shot thru the heart twice and have been slowly bleeding out since.
As someone who was enlisted at that time in 2001 (USAF) and had to watch guys who had literally just graduated my high school, leave home to the middle-east (marines and USACE) because of some senseless wars that immediately followed... I think a lot of us lost more than we care to admit that day. None of us ever imagined we would see a war - in my life-time the worst event was Desert Storm and that was trivial (and short lived). When we enlisted our families and recruiters scoffed at the idea of us going to see action. You signed up back then to see the world, pay for collage, and basically learn skills. There hadn't been a real war in almost 30 years, and legitimately it seems impossible to ever see an attack on American soil again from a foreign actor. So (not just as enlistees, but) as young Americans we lost the world we had grown up in, and it kicked off the mess the have inherited today. Whether you lost a father in the towers, were shipped off like we were, or like most Americans - lived in daily fear of more attacks, under color coded warning systems, and watched as our way of life devolved into complete political and social instability that honestly we have never recovered from. I remember in the following years almost every radio station was playing Greenday's Wake Me Up When September Ends. That's because while it was actually a older unpublished song that Billie Joe Armstrong wrote (in the early 90s) about his father had passed way; he instead decided to resurrect it, have it rewritten a bit, and pushed onto their new album to make a statement about the wars and 9/11. They even shot a massive music video for it featuring a young couple dealing with the boyfriend going to Afghanistan, that played on loop on MTV for the longest time. People would literally call in almost every hour of the day to radio stations requesting the song in dedication to their son over seas... or the odd new young mother as a way tribute to her love who she hadn't seen in before she knew she was pregnant. Praying for him and hoping she would get a letter. That song was everywhere for years there, because for our country - and all us young people - the summer of our life had suddenly given way to the cold wind of winter. Our innocence had finally come to pass. Almost every family knew someone how had been forced to go to war, someones dad or son. No one was untouched. Gas prices suddenly shot up, everywhere the news spoke or the wars day in and out. Americans for as much as we fought and bickered, came together around a set of trading cards depicting terrorists who where on the FBI's most wanted. Almost every American work pins, or had yard flags, or bumper stickers that said "support the troops" - and every small victory had the president nearly weekly giving live address that where watched by 80% of the country. There was no part of the way of American life that wasn't effected. Even religious fundamentalism (fueled by a newfound manifest destiny around American greatness and the never-ending "war on terrorism") and hatred towards immigrants (thanks to paranoia over national security) surged to a level that anyone who publicly claimed themselves a atheist, gay or supporter of immigrants - would likely be publicly attacked or even disowned by your family in some places. Everything went to heck in a hand basket. I'm in my 40s now... and (honestly) there isn't a single day of my life I wouldn't trade to go back and live a single mundane day before 9/11. If anything, just to remember what 'normal' felt like at the time in my life. Just one day without terrorist threats, wars, broken government, and Americans warring against each other over trivial issues. I'd kill to have to use a pay phone, crack open the yellow pages, or unfold a map when I drove someplace I hadn't been before. And for those of us who also lost loved ones (my father and cousin, in my case) to the opioid crisis that literally happened immediately after 9/11, and those how lost loved ones for other reasons at that time... and since.... that day represents a delineation between life "before" and life "now". So I think 9/11 means a lot of things for MOST Americans who were there and lived it as teenagers or adults old enough to really experience and process it all these years later in the way children back then can't now. The day I say those planes hit the pentagon, I literally could feel the air sucked out of the room. I KNEW that it was something important (that would always be important) to my generation... our JFK assassination... our Vietnam.... or Korean war. That nothing would ever be the same again, and that things were going to suddenly change whether we were prepared for it or not: a nasty surprise you American youth that day. And sure enough, I spent the next several years scared as heck, and watched everything in my life uproot and go to heck. We all have stories about that time, and it's effect over the years after - some even now. That chapter of American history literally shaped the lives going forward of every single Young Gen X and Older Millennial in this country to this day. Even in middle-age, the ramifications are silently present in the background of our lives. How things might have been different if live had been allowed to unfold as slowly as it had before. There is still a lot of resentment and struggle in the fabric of this nation that was birthed from the seeds of that day, and poor decisions made by our leaders immediately after. For me, I morn not just the family I lost afterward, and my innocence... but I morn life in general before that day. I think a lot of us feel robbed of something that day, and the way our lives were 'supposed' to turn out. No matter how successful people are, I hear that sentiment a lot these days (surprisingly) as they look back and reflect. Especially with those in my generation of 'cusper' millennials. Some days I just want to feel summer again. -_-
i think about 9/11 nearly every day in some way.. i feel like that was the day that my whole universe was flipped and it hasn't flipped back ever since. i've actually been in the towers and went up to the rooftop observation deck. i was only 13 at the time, but i've always been fascinated by supertall skyscrapers from a very young age and that was where i wanted to go, when i was on a family NYC trip in 1997. this may sound overly dramatic, but i think a part of me, my innocence, and my bright outlook for the future died when i saw the towers crumble on TV that day.
@mr.selfimprovement3241 I was 12 and view it as the point where my childhood stopped and my cynical/confusing adolescence started. I really have a dim view of the early 2000's for many reasons, but most of them seem to point to 9/11 in some form.
You know just because someone thinks differently doesn’t mean they don’t care, this man seems to of had a real curiosity and turned quickly into a feeling of sympathy and loss…. I didn’t know anyone from the world trades, my heart still hurts, my soul still cry’s and my eyes still fill with tears,, You see crazy, I see pain and beauty in those who dare to be curious and look deeper than the average human.. maybe he is a message to look deeper than the surface, what you see is sometimes more that what is laying before you .. bless this man and his heart..
It's 30 ft yes that high asf and can kill but why tf are you acting like it's impossible 🤦🏻♂️ alot of multistory carparks are 50ft quite a few of people that jump don't die, have you heard about the golden bridge survivor? 240ft drop 35 people have survived that

He was on mushrooms, not speculation I live about 3 miles from here and know for a fact he was arrested and taken to the hospital. He's just a dumbass kid who took to much. My friend sent me this because he used to work at the same place as us.
Haha when someone takes drugs than he covers mental hurtings and traumas ! That explains not why he layed there 😢! Second if he was in a professional healthcare he wouldn't show up there at all !
People need to do some research about this before making comments about why he did this. He has several mental health issues & has been in and out of the hospital for years due to this. His father is very much alive and the family released a statement confirming they have no ties to the 9/11 attacks & didn't lose anyone. Here is a quote directly from his brother: "[Jeffrey] was born and raised in lower Manhattan so he lived through 9/11 but we don’t have a family connection to the memorial". They also confirmed he has multiple mental health issues and "40 psychotic breaks".
@deeson4473, which makes you wonder, why is he apparently "roaming the streets" if he has these serious mental health issues. There is never enough being done to treat mental health issues. I couldn't believe it was like a revolving door, "Bring them in for treatment, put them on meds, they seem better, now just turn them loose hoping they'll stay on their meds".... Then, they don't and have another episode so back in they come, back on meds, get better, now back out again and the cycle repeats UNTIL they harm themselves or someone else even to point of death....
I come from a huge military family & my brother is a Marine. He went on 4 tours. We're so unbelievably grateful he's still here with us. He's been really struggling since he came back home from his last tour. So this to me feels so disrespectful to all of the victims of 9/11. All of the military men & women we've lost so many lives. RIP to all victims of 9/11❤
He's freaking nuts. That's not disrespectful, he didn't damage it or kill himself there, he just went looking down the middle. Like an innocent child turned into a lost isolated adult. The woman that shouted do not stop should be in prison and the man in the centre needs a warm bath and some strangers to talk to perhaps. Don't judge so easily if you want inner peace.
Let me clear up all confusion since people love to make assumptions and jump to conclusions. This will be long, please bear with me. This man, Jeffrey Hernandez (33 y/o) lay facedown by the edge before sliding forward and falling 20 feet headfirst into the North Pool at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum on October 9th, 2023 at around 1:30pm. He had already sustained an injury on his head after he hurled himself 30ft into the basin of the memorial to get to the other 20ft drop. That is the “red” you see in the water before he falls a second time. It’s blood from his wound. He survived and was taken to the hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries to his left leg, head, and back. After Hernandez was treated, he was then arrested and charged with criminal mischief and trespassing. He was described as an “apparently emotionally disturbed person,” by authorities and allegedly told one of the officers he “did this for his father.” !!!HOWEVER!!! Hernandez’s family stated that he has a long history with mental health. William Hernandez (42 y/o), Jeffery’s brother, confirmed to The Post the family has no direct connection to those who lost their lives on 9/11 and his comment would have been out of “remorse or guilt”. The father is still alive. I hope this helps clear up confusion.👍
Just to add on William also claims the city has failed him (Jeffery) by not providing adequate mental health care. “For the better part of two decades he’s been in and out of hospitals and psych wards,”. He added that his brother suffers from schizophrenia and is bipolar and should be in “supervised, residential care for mentally ill people”. Also saying “This was probably number 40 of his psychotic breakdowns. “My parents have been trying to get him in a home for mentally ill people for years but he keeps being deemed ineligible for some reason,” he said. “[Jeffrey] was born and raised in lower Manhattan so he lived through 9/11 but we don’t have a family connection to the memorial,” William explained. “[The incident he was involved in on Monday] was probably the manifestation of a suicide fantasy.” “He doesn’t really want to die. But there’s just no stopping him when he’s having a psychotic break.” This is all on The New York Post. Research more there if you want. 👍
If it was a sane person I'd say how disrespectful of him, but since the person struggles with mental health issues I hope he gets treament and get better as nobody deserves illnesses, fysical or psychological
Sorry he fell and is mentally ill, but it’s not easy to get over the thousands of names surrounding the water and hole. In addition people are yelling for him to stop while he continues to walk over and then look down the hole which is a memorial for the thousands of lives lost that day. It’s hard for me to feel 💯 percent sorry for him.
@@Missstrish I understand how you feel, but I don't think he would be doing that if he was not sick. But sure it is disrespectful to the victims of that day
This is the dumbest memorial design ever. If my family member had died at ground zero and I visited this, it would make me feel like their souls are being washed down a drain.
Tbh most people only get help when it's becoming a real problem. Usually it's not sought out willingly, and respect to those who even realize they have a problem and actively try to solve it. But yeah the cops will be called and depending on what happened they'll take you mental hospital. Let me tell you it's almost as bad as jail.
There is no help in the US for the mentally ill. Only being locked up. Why anyone would want to come to this country that absolutely HATES the less fortunate is a mystery to me.
Theres a sadness that fell on the world on 9/11i am an albertan in canada and i was pregnant with my first child when the news broke and i was watching live coverage of it when the second plane crashed into the tower i couldn't help but cry knowing i just watched so many people die infront of me was a hard pill to swallow so you dont need to have been there or have ties to the tragedy itself to feel any emotional connection to it especially when you think of all the heros of that day that died protecting others like firefighters police paramedics civilians and volunteers and even passengers everyone that died that day should never be forgotten ❤
I agree! I had no connections... other then my fbi cuz helping at the PA scene.... But I sobbed watching this... prayed..shook && NEVER EVER WILL FORGET WHAT I WITNESSED ON TV IN ALL 4 PLACES! MY HEART BROKE FOR THE FAMILIES! I WAS TERRIFUED TOO. WENT TO GET MY KiDS HOME FROM SCHOOL AS THE USA WAS BEING ATTACKED! I CALLED MY VETREN DAD... ASKING HIM WHAT TO DO!!???? I WAS 35 MILES FROM MY PARENTS. TERRIED FOR THEM BEING ELDERLY. I DROVE TO BRING THEM TO MY HOME! THAT FEAR..SORROW.. HELPLESSNESS STILL REMAINS IN ALLOT OF US!! IT WAS A HORRIBLE DAY TO WITNESS! I STILL SOB WATCHING IT!! Soooo many died in pain & suffered & families lost soooo many loved ones!! God Bless us All!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💜🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 🌟❤🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙🌟.
So True NYC is my home and I had just flown to Florida a week before it happened, but everyone all over the world felt for America that day. We thank you 🙏
I was pregnant also, living in Louisiana. I couldn't stay home by myself that day. I remember calling my mom and crying. We prayed together for everyone.. I ended up going to a friend's house (who was also pregnant) we cried, prayed and tried to make sense of what was happening😢
I'll help him. I'll take all the pain. All the selfishness. The hate. The anger. The confusion. The frustration. And I'll let it all go. Because the devil ain't getting me. I'm too strong for you to ever have mofo. And you are even a part of me, even though you are the devil. I just know how you feel that's all ❤🙏 because everyone has to coexist and feel the same feelings. We have no choice. It's our way of life ❤🙏
We should pray for this poor man. It doesnt matter if he had someone or Not in 911. This is a human being in pain. I choose to pray that he gets help and lives a better life. ✝️🙏🏻✝️💜💜
pray? for what reason? what shoud it do? this godthing is only to manipulate people. if this god is the reason for all what's happening, god is the reason for murder, treachery, earthquakes, landslides, stupid people....
The vast majority of people with suicidal ideation dont want to die, they want to feel better and rid themselves of their suffering. The documentary 'The Bridge' explains this perfectly. Those who jumped and survived speak of their immediate regret as soon as their feet left the bridge. Hopefully this chap received the right support.
@@blueeyedbatmanand your assuming he can’t grieve over thousands that died? Yeah they probably strangers to him and yeah he’s mental in the head but sometimes shit triggers ppl different. Not everyone’s like you so stop with your own assumptions. And I’m not assuming my self you or I can’t tell nobody what this dude is exactly going through in his head but taking the words of others is gullible
In all honestly, no matter what design they made for this memorial it wouldn't be enough, as so many 1,000's of lives were lost for absolutely nothing.........😔
Yeah its true. They shouldnt have done this to their own people to begin with. That wouldve been nice. But here we are, mindy. In this chaotic realm of flesh and metal.
The propaganda has most in the lie, the buildings were empty. A few hours of research you will get to a whole new conclusion of how America was fooled. Cheers
The lives weren't lost for nothing. The CIA got their puppet government installed in Iraq and now controls most of the middle east's oil sales which makes dozens of Americans infinitely wealthier.
I always knew it was a matter of time before someone jumped or fell into that pool. Why have never been there actual guardrails around the 9/11 Memorial? Seems like a big design flaw to me.
@@MariaReyes-wg5zx You know those same people you're talking about would love nothing more than to put you in a burka and force you to live under the dictates of sharia law?
In real life this things is sooo big in person. Like this whole area makes me feel small and the fact that he jumped down there…I hope the world is kinder to him, I hope he get the love he needs, and I pray he gets the help he needs.
I can't make myself hit thumbs up, how do you like something that shows someone going thru so much inner pain? My heart goes out to him, may he get the assistance he deserves❤
The fool is a selfish idiot. You don't have a clue so don't defend him. He has zero connection to the event or lost anyone. This is just all about him doesn't care who he hurts emotionally. Idiot laying on his stomach as If he's on a beach somewhere and not at a literal burial site
@@stancexpunksit’s very possible what lilacrews8863 said to be correct. It’s a memorial and some people were never recovered and family members and children which are now adults have to live with this daily. Idk why you would even respond that way to her.
@@Leo-qe3glIt was said that the 1st 30ft Drop he Slid head 1st into the Basin... From there, he Walked over to the Square Pool, while Wincing in Pain, Laid down & then apparently Jumped down the 20ft into that 2nd Pool. He Suffered Head, Back & Leg Injuries. I didn't realize at 1st that he Jumped into the 2nd Pool, too. I thought he just Laid there, but apparently he did. In the Comments, someone Wrote that you could see Blood in the Water from the Head Injury he Sustained from the 1st 30ft Drop. I, honestly, have No Idea how he Survived a 30ft Head 1st Fall into Knee Deep Water & then a 2nd Drop of 20ft down into the 2nd Pool. However, what I do know is that this Guy didn't need Charges, Fines & possible Jail Time, he needed Involuntary, In-patient Mental Health Help ASAP. I Hope that he was able to get the Help he so desperately needed.
If you are suffering with mental illness and ppl tell you they care and are there for you, don’t believe it. I heard that so many times, but when I reached out, not one person was there or cared. You are on your own, so get yourself through it because you are all you have.
Saying that you care and are there to help is easier. And I think people mostly mean it sincerily… But a lot get surprised when actually trying to put actions instead of words. Dealing with depression is heavy stuff for both the sufferer and those around them.
💯 it isn't calm it's a darn danger to humans and animals. I wasn't aware of this I hope they did a vote with average people before a huge well was created.
Really poor design? If that's the case then two way public streets are poorly designed cause you could just walk out into the middle of the road and get hit by a car. Stupid logic.
@Luci-4 there are crosswalks on city streets but I will give you some people won't even stop for them. Especially drunk drivers. So yeah we already know roads are dangerous that's why animals are to be leashed and people cross the road at their own peril. This ugly monstrosity was supposed to be uplifting not a toilet.
@@shimmer8289 I don't think a memorial for thousands of people who died horrifically was meant to be "uplifting." Most of the bodies were never found, they were pulverized by thousands of pounds of steel and concrete, so these reflecting pools are essentially mass graves for family members of the victims to come visit and pay their respects. It's meant to be somber, like most grave sights.
@@brandonmaster7901 if I were I family or friend I would not want to state into a chasm of darkness or mass grave recreation. I park with a tasteful above ground monument is much more suitable it's my opinion and last time I checked its a free country with lots of opinions.
What do you mean? It's a reminder of where the towers used to be. Water has a calming effect. I wish they had rebuilt the towers as they were, but they decided to get creative.
@@blucolife I understand that they built the 9/11 Memorial at the request of the majority of the citizens of New York, in honor of all the people who died on that date, and so as not to forget that tragic day.
This memorial is odd to me. It reminds me of the fall many people took jumping from the buildings, and the drop of the buildings. Ik the architect had good intentions, but it’s a weird design for a memorial. Symbolically speaking, the water flowing downwards and into a large dark center is anything but hopeful or uplifting. This memorial should symbolize hope, strength and unity. It doesn’t for me. Instead I feel sadness and am reminded of how painful 911 was for all of us alive that day and how traumatic the aftermath was. Maybe that was Michael Arad’s intentions, to remind us of what we lost. Idk..
I still remember 9/11 i was 11yrs old in school all the teachers just started to listen to the radio listening to what was happening and the whole school was so quiet just some teachers walking to different classes to talk to other teachers about what was going on and then for like the next 12 months you would hear the song "im proud to be an american" atleast 3 times or more a day
Yeah, I hate that song. Just a cash grab for a shitty song capitalizing on a tragedy and a sudden surge of patriotism. Probably the most money Lee Greenwood has ever seen in his life
Even tho I think this is so disrespectful to those that lost their life that awful day and their families to our whole country really I'm not gonna jump down his throat if he really has bad mental health problems just hope can get the help he Needs cuz this is a huge no no
