Patriot Day

On September 11, 2001, horrible terrorist actions took place in the United States.  Hijackers took over American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 crashing the planes into the North and SouthTowers of the World Trade Center in New York City.

Other hijackers took over American Airlines Flight 77 crashing into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia.

Other hijackers attempted to pilot a fourth hijacked jet, United Airlines Flight 93, to crash into the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.  However, passengers attempted to take control of the flight and crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Nearly 3,000 people died in these attacks.  Each year in the United States, we now refer to September 11 as Patriot Day, or 9/11.  This is to honor those who lost their lives in the senseless terrorist act.  We will never forget and we will always remember.

 

Where in the World is Bashful?

This is Bashful sitting on mom’s keyboard. He actually got to spend some time with mommy before he flew out to parts unknown in the world. He’s been gone now for 6 days and *still* hasn’t shown up at his designated place of arrival. I’m thinking we are going to have to send out a search party soon. What do you think?

What if he got lost? What if people don’t understand his southern drawl when he talks? What if he got rocknapped and held for a ransom? Oh shivers to mergatroid – Bashful – are you out there? Please report in soon. 🙂
