Remembering And Honoring The Victims Of September 11, 2001

By Money Matters Editors

On this day we remember and honor the 2,998 persons whose lives were taken away from them during the terrorist attack on New York’s World Trade Center, the United States Pentagon, and on a plane that crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania eight years ago, on September 11, 2001.

Across the United States, and in communities round the world that also love freedom and democracy, citizens will take time to attend services to remember all who perished on that New Day of Infamy. We mourn the loss of their lives, and our prayers and thoughts are with their families and friends. In the words of Mr. Lincoln, it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But let us also, re-quoting Mr. Lincoln, continue with the great struggle of our epoch, and in doing so each day honor those who perished. Let us bring to justice every last remnant of the perpetrators of this act of intrinsic evil, and the tyrannical cult that supports it - so that liberty and democracy can flourish and so that government of the people, by the people, for the people, reigns victorious across the Earth.
