I will also mention that Thursday marks 24 years since the tragic September 11, 2001, attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in four coordinated attacks at the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, & Shanksville, Pennsylvania (80 miles SE of Pittsburgh). My thoughts and prayers are with the 9/11 victims and their families! NEVER FORGET! ⚑
