Today, September 11, 2024, we remember those who we lost twenty-three ago in the attacks on the United States of America.

We remember what we were doing that morning when so many of our fellow citizens were on a hijacked plane, or inside of the World Trade Center, North or South tower.

When military and government personnel were heading into their offices for work that morning at the Pentagon.

The attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda against the United States resulted in 2,977 fatalities, over 25,000 injuries, and substantial long-term health consequences, in addition to at least $10 billion in infrastructure and property damage.
