9/11 Never Forget: Remembering 9/11 Quotes on this 20th Anniversary

September 11 is the day in history with a tragic incident. The deadly terrorist attack on America, the world’s most powerful country, has given such a wound, which will last till the world is in pain. This saturday it is the 21th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on America on September 11, 2001. Today in this post, Remembering the 9/11 quotes to honor our country’s patriotism.

Nobody had imagined that such a big terrorist attack could happen to America. In the US, terrorists hijacked and attacked two buildings at New York’s World Trade Center, the Virginia-based Pentagon, and Pennsylvania. 2,977 people died in this attack. It is seen as the biggest terrorist attack in US history.

Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was involved in the attack, who went into hiding in Pakistan after the attack. Laden was later killed by American Seal commandos in Abbottabad, Pakistan. This exposed Pakistan’s lie that Laden was not in Pakistan.

How big this attack was can be gauged from the fact that it took about 100 days to extinguish the fire in this attack. At that time President George Bush, while addressing the nation, declared a national disaster in America. He announced that the attack was carried out by a terrorist.

With the below 9/11 quotes, we pay tribute to the victims of the tragedy on this 19th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
