On that day in 2001, President George W. Bush stated, “Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices -- secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers. Moms and dads. Friends and neighbors.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Solomon Cook)
