25 years ago, 9/11 occurred, a tragic event in which nearly 3,000 people were tragically killed across 3 locations.
Those locations were the World Trade Center (Twin Towers) in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia & the United Airlines Flight 93 near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Rest in peace to all the victims who sadly lost their lives due to this horrific event. My thoughts are also with the brave people who did all they could to help, as well as the friends & families of those affected.
In 2014, I visited New York with my family where we paid our respects at Ground Zero, the site of the 9/11 Memorial.
I know I don’t normally talk about serious subjects, but I felt it was important to pay my respects & share a tribute for today. Peace & love! ☮️♥️
Here are 2 pictures of the Twin Towers, the first shows John Lennon & Yoko Ono looking at the towers.
