Wednesday marks 23rd anniversary of Sept. 11 attacks
![](https://bowienewsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/911-cartoon-1-scaled.jpg)
It was the deadliest terror attack to ever take place on U.S. soil. On Sept. 11, 2001, conspirators from the al-Qaida Muslim militant group seized control of jets to use them as passenger-filled missiles, hitting the trade center’s twin towers and the Pentagon. The fourth plane was headed for Washington but crashed near Shanksville after crew members and passengers tried to storm the cockpit.
The attacks killed nearly 3,000 people, reconfigured national security policy and spurred a U.S. “war on terror” worldwide.
Today marks the 23rd remembrance of this heart-breaking day that changed America. Please take a moment today to thank those who ran into the buildings and fires, and remember those who did not return home that day.
