For those old enough to remember, 9-11 is a difficult anniversary in American History. Our country lost its innocence. In the single deadliest terrorist attack on US soil, 2,977 Americans lost their lives. I’m old enough to remember & still tear up when I think about watching the second plane hit the twin towers on live TV before both towers came crashing down.

A third plane was flown into the Pentagon near Washington. Passengers on the fourth plane, likely bound for the White House, retook control of the aircraft and crashed it into a field in Pennsylvania.

Today is a solemn day in American history.
A prayer goes out for all the innocents lost.

COVID in the USA on 9-11-2020

“Today, Friday September 11th 2020, marks six months since the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a pandemic.

“When asked who the American public should listen to — the President, who claimed Thursday that the country is ‘rounding the corner’ of the pandemic, or himself — Fauci said people should trust facts.

‘I say look at the data; the data speak for themselves. You don't have to listen to any individual. And the data tells us that we're still getting up to 40,000 new infections a day and 1,000 deaths. That is what you look at. Look at the science, the evidence and the data and you can make a pretty easy conclusion,’ he said.

Responding to comments made by an attendee at President Trump's rally Thursday night, who said he wasn't wearing a mask because this is ‘fake pandemic,’ Fauci called it a ‘tragedy.’”
