I have written several postings on this topic. However, my first article on this topic, I titled-What were You Doing that Day that Made the World Trembled- was one of my most popular articles. Here's a repost in case you missed it.
Meanwhile, Today, as the nation marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, families, first responders, and leaders are gathering for remembrance ceremonies in New York City, the Pentagon, and Shanksville.
