It has been 19 years since America witnessed one of the worst terrorist attacks in modern history.
On September 11, 2001, Americans watched in horror as two planes crashed into the Twin Towers in New York City, followed by another crash at the Pentagon in Washington, DC, and the final crash in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
As our country is currently faced with a global pandemic and civil unrest in many communities, the memory of the 9/11 attacks has once again brought our nation together.
Today, we remember the nearly 3000 lives that were lost and the courage of our brave first responders and all of the families who lost loved ones.
