We must never forget!

On Sept. 11, 2001, terrorists launched a series of coordinated attacks on the United States, killing almost 3,000 people.

Terrorists hijacked and crashed passenger planes into two towers at the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon outside Washington, D.C.

A fourth plane crashed into an empty field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after hijackers’ plans were foiled by a group of passengers who tried to take control of the aircraft before the hijackers were able to crash into another important symbol of democracy.

It was a day that must never be forgotten, and prayers should be offered to not only those brave souls who died but for all the First Responders who responded to the tragic scenes, and also all of us who survived the blatant attack on our beliefs and love for America.
