Millions of Americans will be taking time today to remember those who risked and sacrificed their lives in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

 

“

9/11 is really a very important part of my life for many different reasons. I put my education and coaching career on hold to go serve the U.S. military our country.

— Assistant Principal Jason Harris

 

On the 22nd anniversary of this tragedy, America honors those men and women who continue to dedicate their lives to the service of the country as well as those lost along the way.

“

The American Spirit, how the whole the world and of course America just came together at that time for a common purpose.

— Counselor Ryan Kiefer
