God Bless America.
May we forever honor the fallen. The innocent men and women who went to work that morning and never came home.
The heroic patriots in uniform, and in street clothes like Welles Crowther, who gave all to save others.
25 years. We remember clearly how shocking it felt to be under attack, how painful it was to watch our innocence fall.
May we never forget.
God Bless America.
