9-11 Tribute

On this anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks make sure to take some time out of your day to revisit some of the events on that day 13 years ago. Remembering an event like this each year will allow us to continue to honor the victims and praise the many heroic acts taken by Americans that day. Listed are a couple of videos that you might find interesting and may want to share with friends and family.

This video originally aired on ESPN shares a heroic story of a former college athlete. Notice how people refer to "Welles" in the video. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=6929979

The 2nd video is much more intense but is shown with the intent to give you background information on the hijacking and those involved. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-B6c6xxXug
