Our memories  are still with the families and loved ones of the victims of the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City,  and on the Pentagon in Washington D.C.;  also, with the families and loved ones of those aboard the downed airliner in Pennsylvania. Let's keep in our thoughts those families and loved ones of the survivors, the critically injured and the already deceased, as well as those who have not yet been accounted for following these unspeakable atrocities carried out against innocent American citizens.  Click on the flag for a slide show of this September 11th tragedy.  (Use Microsoft Explorer only)
