Today is the 22nd anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the United States. On this day, planes hijacked by Islamic terrorists struck the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York. Another plane crashed into the Pentagon just out side of Washington DC in Virginia. In addition, another plane crashed in Pennsylvania after passengers fought agains the terrorists. The event forever changed life in the United States as we knew it. To remember and pay respect to those lives lost during the attacks, there are numerous 9/11 ceremonies in Southwest Florida today.
