Default 20th Anniversary of the 9/11 and World trade center attacks

It has been 20 years since the World Trade Center attacks. While the World Trade Centers have been rebuilt, The loss of life by the first responders, and police, paramedics, firemen, passengers and air crews on the aircraft can't be replaced. 2977 were killed altogether, 2,753 at what has been called ground zero. This does not include those lost from disease. This is a larger number of casualties than at the attacks on pearl Harbor on December 7th of 1941.

The rate of attrition among the surviving responders and clean up crews has been terrible and appalling as those responders were exposed to varying levels of toxicity and debris from the ruins.

Although the attacks on 9/11 were terrible, It also showed the incredible courage and integrity and sense of duty and honor of the first responders.



May those lost rest in peace and the sacrifices of those lost and the first responders never be forgotten.
