Nine-one-one is a date that permanently changed our way of life in America. It is another date that will live in infamy, just as December 7, 1941, when the Japanese bombed
Pearl Harbor.
Most of us remembered what we were doing on
9/11/01 and still could not believe what took place.
19 Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked 4 airplanes, two from American Airlines and two from United Airlines.
Two were flown into the
Twin Towers at the
World Trade Center, one was flown into the Pentagon and the other crashed outside of
Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Over Shanksville, the passengers fought back.
Forty lives were lost on that flight.
Heroes fought and died so that others would live. Overall, almost 3,000 people died and as many families will forever be affected as the result of these terrorist actions.
So many men and women became heroes that day and should never be forgotten.
There are still first responders and others who are still dying and suffering from severe illnesses caused by the toxins.
I’m glad to see Congress pass the amendment to the
Zadroga Act which expanded the list of cancers.
There is a lot of ill-will in this world but there are a lot more people who want to help others.
Remember, all of us are going through something, let’s try to be more understanding to each other.
Do something positive today to remember the victims and families of this tragic event.
