Saturday Post / 9.11

Hi Everybody!

On September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al Qaeda hijacked four airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Almost 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which triggered major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defined the presidency of George W. Bush.

Today we commemorate the 20th anniversary of this terrorist attack on the USA and all of the free world, and remember those who died, and those who endangered and sometimes lost their own lives trying to rescue others.

"Hatred paralyzes life;

Love releases it.

Hatred confuses life;

Love harmonizes it.

Hatred darkens life;

Love illuminates it."

Martin Luther King

Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
