His daughter has chronic lung issues from the cloud that hung over the city. My brother had an appointment there that day, but fortunately not until 11 AM. My son was in the air flying from Phoenix to Boston.

I have posted some not so nice things about the ethnic group to which these 20 terrorists belonged in the past. Sorry, but based on the previous paragraph, most will understand that I have no love lost in that regard. Is it fair to judge 1 billion based on the actions of 20?----no. However, did any of us hear those 1 billion denounce the events of that day. I didn't. What I saw was celebration in the streets in that part of the world and chants of "Death to America". Did the Imans and Mullahs denounce the terrorist actions as having nothing to do with the peaceful faith of Islam? No, all I heard were crickets. I only mention it because the revisionist historians are busy at work even on this 21st anniversary.

End of rant, but NEVER FORGET!!!

Maybe someday this will be a nicer world

I hear you and completely agree. I lost a couple friends that day and was on a flight out of Boston to London that left around the same time the planes were hijacked that flew out of Logan. It was a very sad time.
