September 11th, 2001, was a day that changed the world forever. On that fateful day, terrorists attacked the United States, taking the lives of nearly 3,000 innocent people. Each year, on the anniversary of 9/11, Americans come together to honor the victims and remember the day. From the ringing of bells to moments of silence, people across the country take the time to remember those who were lost and the heros who risked their lives to save others. It is a day to reflect on the courage and strength of the American spirit and to remember that we are all united in our fight against terrorism.
