America remembers events of 9/11

Why does America celebrate its greatest defeats?  Is it because we respond with bravery, honor and unity?
Certainly, that is the way we responded after the dastardly attacks on us September 11, 200l.  Terrorists hijacked planes and crashed them into the twin towers in New York and into the Pentagon, killing almost 3,000 persons.  Passengers on flight 93  gave their lives to save others when they forced the plane, headed for the White House, to crash in an open field.

Will this nation ever forget this date?  No, but like the Alamo and Pearl Harbor the pain continues to lessen while we keep alive the memory of our brave and honorable response.  Most people remember where they were and what they were doing when the planes hit.  Many, like me, were watching the news and saw the second plane hit the tower.  I remember as a teenager where I was when the news came that Pearl Harbor had been hit.  (No, I don't remember the Alamo.)
