It will forever be a date that brings back horrible memories and also triggers emotions of anger and sadness. Two men came up with a wonderful idea to observe the date each year, and that idea has become the international movement called 9/11 Day.

Now ten years later for some looking back and answering where they were on that September day is tougher than others. Those close to the events that unfolded that Tuesday morning, and especially those who lost and witnessed loss have to live with those things everyday. For the rest of us, we moved on, didn't forget necessarily, but eventually got on with our lives.

Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.
America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining.
Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature. And we responded with the best of America — with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could. -September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush
