A moment of silence.
Today marks the 3rd anniversary of the September 11th tragedy. More than 3000 people lost their lives in the largest terrorist attack in history on American soil. May their souls rest in peace.
Update: changed wording to reflect that not all the brave souls who lost their lives because of the September 11th attacks were US citizens. Terrorism affects people worldwide.
One thing I would note is that not all of those killed at the WTC, in the planes, and at the Pentagon were American citizens. I think it dishonors those non-Americans that were killed when we keep saying "Americans killed" and "US residents/citizens" because they weren't all Americans.
I usually say: "people murdered"
