Remembering the heroes of September 11

9/11 Heroes

On September 11, 2001, four U.S. commercial airplanes were hijacked; two crashed into the World Trade Center Towers in New York City, one went into the Pentagon in Washington, DC, and the last one crash landed in a field in Pennsylvania. No one in the planes survived, but thousands of others in the Pentagon and in the World Trade Center were in need of rescue. Men and women from all over the United States immediately stepped in to help with the rescue efforts.

We honor the memories of the brave men and women who died on that tragic day, we honor all of those around the world who have worked to help children and families of these victims recover. The firemen and policemen who bravely save the lives of others, with great risk to themselves, should also be remembered and honored today and everyday.
