September 11, 2001: Forever in Our Hearts
Tuesday, September 11, 2001 (9-1-1): Today, the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history took place. Three hijacked planes crashed into the Pentagon and New York's World Trade Center, demolishing the two 110-story towers. One other highjacked plane crashed into the ground in Pennsylvania. I offer thoughts and prayers for everyone who has been directly touched by the events that took place on September 11, 2001. Certainly we all have been touched by this senseless tragedy.
