Tomorrow marks the 9th year after the September 11 attacks on the United States. The death toll on that horrible day was 2,977, the overwhelming majority of which were civilians from 70 different countries. More than 3,000 children were left without one or more of their parents. Today and this weekend, we pay tribute to these fallen heroes, their families and those we knew ourselves that were impacted by this tragic event.
We will never forget.
"Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children." - George W. Bush.
