Today marks the nine year anniversary of that national tragedy our country suffered, when the World Trade Center was hit and destroyed in terrorist attacks by two planes (American Airlines Flight 11 at 8:46am; United Airlines Flight 175 at 9:02 am) in the lower tip of Manhattan on September 11, 2001. At 9:37 am, The Pentagon in Arlington County VA near Washington was also a target for an attack (American Airlines Flight 77) on that same dreadful day.
We live in a country with a two party system. While the citizens of this country may be divided in the political arena, the tragedy of September 11, 2001 is one occasion that united all of us and continues to unit us. We will never forget the attack or the 3000 innocent lives that were taken unnecessarily. God bless the survivors of the lives that were taken nine years ago today. God bless the men and women in uniform who continue to fight for our freedom. May the souls of the victims rest in peace.
Nine years later, I still remember 9/11.
