"20 years ago some people went to bed in anticipation of another working day in New York City.
Tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss loved ones, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second for granted."

"20 years ago, foreign forces destroyed an American icon & many lives were lost. 20 years later, America is being destroyed from within.
This #911anniversary, let's honor those lost by overcoming differences with the kind of solidarity that took root when the Towers came down."
