Where were you on Sept. 11, 2001 at 7:46 a.m. (CST)? That was the question I asked attendees at this year’s annual 9/11 “Day of Remembrance and Patriot Day Ceremony.”

This ceremony commemorates all the first responders and victims who perished as a result of a terrorist attack on our country. Just like the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, this date will also be a “date that will live in infamy” (President Franklin Roosevelt).

As you may know, 3,000 people died as a result of the attacks on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania. Did you know that since 9/11, over 5,800 first responders have died from illnesses attributed to the inhalation of toxic fumes and carcinogens emitted from the debris at the respective sites?
