It was Tuesday, September 11th, 2001.
Across America, people were getting ready for work. Children were heading to school. Morning television shows were on. The sky over New York was clear and blue.
Then, at 8:46 a.m., American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
Seventeen minutes later, a second plane struck the South Tower.
A seemingly ordinary Tuesday morning had become a moment America would never forget.
Twenty-five years later, we remember where we were. We remember what we felt. And most importantly, we remember those who never came home.
