Nineteen men affiliated with al-Qaida carried out the four hijackings.
The deadliest attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor in 1941, the events of September 11 permanently changed America's perception of security and prompted then-President George W. Bush to declare war on terrorism and invade Afghanistan.

The war on terrorism he called it. War on a strategy.
What a coward he was. And worse
But hey he’s the rapist’s brother from another mother so it’s all good.
Definitely the wrong man at the wrong time.
Prayers for the deceased and their families
Some of the punks fighting for ANTIFA were not even born when 9/11 happened and have no clue.
Many others seem to have forgotten.
What are you talking about ?
George “It’s A Religion Of Peace” Bush. AKA Shrub.
Took 7 years from that day to put an alien Mohammadan and Communist puppet in the White House. Didn’t take long to “forget.”
You don’t get out much do you? George Bush said he was Bill Clinton’s brother from another mother. I’m pretty sure even remote tribes in the Amazon know about that :-)
oh and instead of responding like a rude animal with “what are you talking about?” Try “I’m not sure what you’re saying. Can you please explain?”
It’s never too late to learn manners :-)
Buona notte
Being rude is typically a hallmark of the left. GTH.
Americans, All, New York Citizens, New Jersey Citizens, Today at the 9/11 memorial services, both POTUS, Donald J. Trump & Democrat, 2020 POTUS, Candidate Joe Biden will be present in New York City & Shanksville, Pennsylvania at ceremonies that remember 9/11/2001. Along with Biden and Trump, will be Governor, Andrew Cuomo & New York Mayor, Bill DeBlasio.
I might take a moment to remind you good folks that Biden, Cuomo & DeBlasio are all “Police Officer & First Responder haters (Firemen & EMS Personnel). IMHO, all three should be no where near a (9/11 memorial ceremony). I suggest if they are present, all three should be roundly and soundly booed & mocked openly!!! My heart & soul cries out & mourns, for all of the innocent folks lost in the Twin Towers & aircraft crashes and the police, firemen, EMS folks that gave the supreme sacrifice for their fellow Americans and citizens of the world!! These three pieces of scum & vermin humanity, deserve no recognition whatsoever, other to be dumped into the nearest garbage bin where they can rot for all eternity...forever!!! Satan awaits the arrival of all three of his evil makers, Democrat Party, low life, America destroyers, Biden, Cuomo & DeBlasio!!! Boo them, Boo, them, Boo, them!!! Go, Trump!!! And, God bless America!!!
Seems like we forgot not too long after the events. We allowed millions of Muslims here and elected one as President.
sounds good on paper, but many people have forgotten, except for the annual reading of the victims.
and Barack is proof that people don’t remember what the savages did to us.

Never forget, Rick Rescorla:
“His tenure at the Met was short-lived and he soon resigned and moved to the United States. He lived at a YMCA hostel in Brooklyn until he was able to enlist in the Army. “Rick”, as he would thereafter be known, enlisted in the United States Army in 1963 and after basic training at Fort Dix, he attended Officer Candidate School and airborne training at Fort Benning. Upon graduating Rescorla was assigned as a platoon leader in the 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile).
Rescorla was sent to Vietnam, where he served under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Hal Moore. The two participated in the 1965 Battle of Ia Drang, which Moore would later describe in a 1992 book he co-authored We Were Soldiers Once… And Young, (from which the 2002 Mel Gibson film We Were Soldiers would be adapted); Rescorla is the soldier pictured on the book jacket cover. Co-author Lieutenant General Hal Moore described him as “the best platoon leader I ever saw”. Rescorla’s men nicknamed him “Hard Core” for his bravery in battle and revered him for his good humor and compassion towards his men.[3][7]
He is also mentioned in the book Baptism by Larry Gwin who also fought at Ia Drang. The fourteenth chapter of the book Rescorla’s Game describes him as the “Cornish Hawk”. Despite this tough image, according to his second wife and widow Susan Rescorla in her book, Touched by a Hero, music was “so central” to Rick’s life that he sang to his troops in Vietnam to calm them – something he would later employ during 9/11.[4]
Rescorla’s Vietnam War honors included the Silver Star, the Bronze Star with Oak Leaf Cluster, a Purple Heart and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry.[3]

At 8:46 a.m. on the morning of September 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center (Tower 1). Rescorla heard the explosion and saw the tower burning from his office window in the 44th floor of the South Tower (Tower 2). When a Port Authority announcement came over the P.A. system urging people to stay at their desks, Rescorla ignored the announcement, grabbed his bullhorn, walkie-talkie, and cell phone, and began systematically ordering Morgan Stanley employees to evacuate, including the 1,000 employees in WTC 5. He directed people down a stairwell from the 44th floor, continuing to calm employees after the building lurched violently following the crash of United Airlines Flight 175 38 floors above into Tower 2 at 9:03 A.M. Morgan Stanley executive Bill McMahon stated that even a group of 250 people visiting the offices for a stockbroker training class knew what to do because they had been shown the nearest stairway.”

Yep, that still blows my mind.
Couldn’t have happened without Shrub’s gross incompetence and McQueeg serving as Zero’s cheerleader and campaign manager in ‘08 (or Willard doing the same in ‘12).
