Always remember 9/11.
I am currently watching the news from this horrible day on 9-11-01 with my mom and sister. I was almost one when the two planes hit the Twin Towers, and one hit the Pentagon. We are following a timeline which tells us what happened minute by minute. Here is the link in case you are interested:

Every year I watch this it seems to be more awful.
At 8:46am the first plane hit the North Tower, and then at 9:03am the second hit the South Tower. All the sirens, fear, and absolute pandemonium. Not knowing what is going on. People thought it was a bomb, or possibly a suicide mission. Just standing there watching. At 9:37am, a third plane hit the Pentagon. Then, at 9:59am, the South Tower collapsed.
2,996. Always remember that number. That is the number of people killed on or because of 9/11.
2,996 Lives
2,996 Families effected
If you are reading this. Bow your head and take a moment of silence for those who were killed on 9/11.
