"These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat.
But they have failed.
Our country is strong.
A great people has been moved to defend a great nation."
— President George W. Bush

Cadre and all willing participants will share their 9/11 story: where were you, how did it change your life? Never Forget.
