9.11.01


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

United Airlines Flight 175: 60

American Airlines Flight 77: 59

In and Surrounding World Trade Centers: 2,595, including:

343 NYFD Firefighters and Paramedics

23 NYPD Police Officers

37 Port Authority Police Officers

125 Civilians and Military personnel at the Pentagon

1609 People lost a spouse or a partner

More than 3,054 children lost parents


Never Forget.
