Two thousand, nine hundred ninety-seven civilian lives lost, 8 EMT/Paramedics lost, 60 police officers lost, and 343 Firefighters lost. 2021 marks 20 years since the World Trade Center and Pentagon were hit by hijacked airplanes, and since the passengers on Flight 93 took down the airplane headed for the White House in a Pennsylvania field to foil the terrorists on board.
