Eagle Flag and Pentagon.
The Back Story:
"We Will Never Forget"
The global war on terrorism came home to America on September 11, 2001. In a series of coordinated suicide attacks, three airliners were hijacked and intentionally flown by terrorists into the iconic twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in suburban Washington, DC. Crew and passengers on a fourth airliner, reportedly meant to hit the U.S. Capitol, fought their captors to regain control before the aircraft crashed in rural Pennsylvania.
Many firefighters and police officers were among the almost 3,000 lives lost on that horrific day. Americans united in their grief and compassion for the surviving families, and in gratitude and admiration for the courage of
civilian and uniformed rescue workers.
