" Now, we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It's a memory of tragedy and shock, loss and mourning. But not only of loss and mourning. It's also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend, even a friend whose name is never knew "... George W Bush

This nation will never forget those who were taken from us, or those who lifted us up and held us together in a time of need.

God Bless America, God bless us all.

Hard to believe it’s already been 19 years since the towers went down, the Pentagon was struck and the heroes of Flight 93 sacrificed their own lives to save others.

It’s sad to think how it’s only an after thought, if that, to many of the younger generation (I’m only 41).

Here’s in memory to the 343 firefighters, 71 law enforcement officers and the countless civilians that died in the World Trade Center, Pentagon and Flight 93.

Never forget.

Well said Aria. One of those days that everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing.

I remember how united we were as a people back then. I also remember it did not last long. I worked in NJ back in 2001 and was supposed to attend a meeting a few blocks north of WTC. I decided not to go into the city that morning. I forget why. Probably because I hated going into the city for meetings. I know people who died that day. I think all of us living in the suburbs of NYC know people who died that day. Watching the news and seeing those planes flying into the towers still gets me so angry.

If any of you are on Twitter, it's worth following Ari Fleischer on this day every year just for a play-by-play of what the president and his entourage experienced on 9/11. This isn't a political statement nor a supporting statement of Ari or GWB. As a simple historical take on that day, Fleischer tweets minute by minute what happened on this day 19 years ago. It's quite fascinating to read as a thread. Here's an excerpt:
