9/11 Extra Credit

It starts off by saying how long the 9/11 attack has been, three-thousand six-hundred fifty-two days. Also saying how families gathered to honor 2749 people that died on ground zero. Not only did the workers die but so did the heroic firemen and officers that tried to rescue them. Another 224 people died in Pennsylvania where they were also honored. In there honor President Obama read Psalm 46, which talks about God as “our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Former President Bush quoted Abraham Lincoln saying “I pray that our heavenly father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement.” There was also a few of moments of silence first at 8:46 a.m., the time American Airlines Flight 11 struck the north tower, and again at 9:03 a.m., when United Airlines Flight 175 smashed into the other tower. Another silence at ground zero and at the Pentagon came at 9:37 a.m., when American Airlines Flight 77 slammed into what had been considered the unshakable nerve center of the world’s most powerful military. Finishing it of by saying God Bless and Rest In Peace.
