Remembrance- 9.11 10 Year Anniversary

On September 11th, 2001, 4 passenger jets crashed by the force of terrorism. The twin world trade centers were each hit with planes, a third into the Pentagon. A fourth plane never reached its destination, it was brought down by the brave souls on flight 93 that made the ultimate sacrifice . Almost 3,000 innocent people were killed that day, along with the first responders to the attacks as firemen, police, and paramedics. In remembrance of these brave men and women, post this as your status. <3

#1: The NFL is taking action to remember 9.11. Chicago Bears' Lance Briggs initiated the physical remembrance by adorning his football attire with gloves and cleats in the colors of the United States flag. Additionally, all NFL members will wear  a patch on their jerseys in recognition of the terrorist attacks that happened 10 years ago.

#2: The New York Times, along with various other American newspapers, remembers 10 years ago when the World Trade Center in New York innocently fell victim to terrorist attacks. Serge Schemann writes of the drawings and poems he recieved from children regarding this event, a wise way in which teachers have taught their students to cope. This terrible day has taught our nation to fear even slight crane movements, everyone is viewed as a terrorist. However, 9.11 has also taught Americans to come together, awful events cause Americans to grieve, and strengthen, together as a nation.
