Remembering 9/11

“These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of America’s resolve.” President George W. Bush

“When Americans lend a hand to one another, nothing is impossible. We’re not about what happened on 9/11. We’re about what happened on 9/12.” Jeff Parness

“If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate.” Sandy Dahl, wife of Flight 93 pilot, Jason Dahl

“You can be sure that the American spirit will prevail over this tragedy.” Colin Powell

“It’s the nature of the world that most people have moved on, but the people directly involved with 9/11, for them, twice a day, it’s 9/11. Robert Reed, former FDNY firefighter

“One of the worst days in American history saw some of the bravest acts in American history. We’ll always honor the heroes of 9/11. Here at this hallowed place, we pledge that we will never forget their sacrifice.” President George W. Bush

“I still have the shoes I wore to work that day. The soles are melted and they’re caked in ash. I keep them in a shoebox with the word ‘deliverance’ written all around it. They’re kind of like my ark, a reminder of God’s presence and the life I owe to him.” Stanley Praimnath, 9/11 survivor 

“9/11—A day to remember that extraordinary heroes are often disguised as ordinary people and that the spirit and soul are unbreakable.” Stacy Alcom

“Are you ready? Okay, Let’s roll.” The last worlds of Todd Beamer, a passenger on highjacked United Flight 93.
