RECALLING SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

Today we remember the terrible events that occured 7 years ago in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. Memorial services were held today in those locations and in other places across the nation and overseas. Several memorials for the victims of that day's attacks were also dedicated this month, including the Pentagon memorial today, and the memorial at Boston's Logan Airport.
