Never forget

“On this day… many years ago (September 10th) ago, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift. None of them saw past 10:00am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same.

At 9:03 a.m. ET, United Airlines Flight 175 (traveling from Boston to Los Angeles) hit the south tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. At 9:37 a.m. ET, American Airlines Flight 77 (traveling from Dulles, Virginia, to Los Angeles) hit the Pentagon Building in Washington. And at 10:03 a.m. ET, United Airlines Flight 93 (traveling from Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco) crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.<br /><br />As we remember the September 11 attacks of 2001, we often hear the slogan, “Never forget.”<br /><br />And this is very appropriate. Despite the fact that many years have passed, the thousands of people who lost their lives on that day have left a huge hole that can never be filled.<br /><br />It is also a day when we as a nation lost a certain optimism and innocence that may never return to us again.<br /><br />For all these reasons, September 11 is a day that lives on in our collecti
