This artifact is a poignant reminder of the horrific events which occurred on September 11th 2001.
Never forget that evil cannot be allowed to fester, and that good men and women stand ready to defend this nation in front of those who are unable to defend themselves.
"Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children."
President George W.Bush
November 11, 2001
