Time, the exact moment the first airplane struck the World Trade Center in New
York. Terrorists have told us that we should forget the September 11 attacks,
but there are things we should never forget. We will never forget the innocent
victims and the brave heroes that died attempting to save them. We will never
forget the survivors, the children, the devastated families and the grieving
friends they left behind. We will never forget the victims who came from more
than 80 countries and many races and religions. We will never forget the
public safety people who are always there to serve and protect us in our time

participating in this remembrance event and asked citizens to participate.
