This is one day I will never forget for as long as I live

It has just gone midnight here in the UK.

America I share in your grief and your sadness on this day 9/11.

I watched the events unfold live on TV and at first could not believe what I was witnessing.

May the Lord grant you peace and comfort through these difficult times.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. – Matthew 5:4

For those that were either not yet born or too young to remember what happened on 9/11, you can read the first chapter of the 9/11 Commission Report. But be warned, it provides an unsettling description of the day’s events.

I knew a passenger on Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania. He was a business acquaintance; a lawyer that I used to meet with infrequently. He has a memorial page with the National Park Service (https://www.nps.gov/flni/learn/historyculture/alan-anthony-beaven.htm) and was featured in the movies about Flight 93. Easy to pick him out because of his accent.

Finally after 20 years, at least some of the classified documents from the 9/11 Commission will be released. Hopefully, that will help clear the air and resolve the speculation over who else was involved. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/09/03/biden-signs-executive-order-requiring-review-release-some-classified-911-documents/
