911 Memorial

On September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the 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 Pennsylvania. Often referred to as 9/11, the attacks resulted in extensive death and destruction, triggering major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defining the presidency of George W. Bush. Over 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters.

I do not remember about what happen that day of 9/11 but since the years has passed I learned about what had happen and the tragedy. The things I have learned are very important in the United States to everyone. 9/11 was the worst day for America.

To me 9/11 is devastating because of what happen thousands of people lost their life that day and many got injured. To me 9/11 is to honor the people who died that day.
