Seventeen years
ago our nation was paralyzed in a day like no other since December 7, 1941. We watched in horror as Islamic terrorists
flew planes into buildings murdering thousands of people.

| Remembering 9/11 |
Because of
heroic actions by some passengers on another plane, more tragedy was avoided as
that man-driven airborne missile crashed into the ground.
Here are the
statistics that have transpired because of that one event:
- 2,996 killed
- 6,000 injured
- 1,000 died later from exposure to debris
- 1,883 military have died in Afghanistan fighting the war
- 3,836 military have died in Iraq
May we never
forget those who lost their lives on that tragic day; and we should always
remember those heroic firefighters and law enforcement members who gave their
all in an attempt to save more.
Feel free to
share your thoughts or post a memorial about September 11, 2001.
