Pearl Harbor.
D-Day.
JFK Assassination.
Berlin Wall coming down.
Columbine Shooting.
9.11.01
These are all infamous dates. Tragic dates. Evidence that there is evil in the world. Those who were alive for those events remember exactly what they were doing that day. Who they were with. How they felt. Even the following days. What they did. How different they felt towards their country. How they felt towards their fellowman. How they felt towards their own life. Vowing to never look at the world differently. Do we still have the same appreciation for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? Maybe once a year, on the anniversary of 9.11.01 we will remember.
At least 2,966 victims died in the September 11th attacks, including:
There were 266 people on the four planes:
American Airlines Flight 11: 87

Never Forget.
