No other number evokes such intense emotion for Americans, or brings to mind the horror of a single moment on a single day that started like any other. Before it turned into a day like no other. A day that seized the heart of this great country and of the world when we were "all Americans", bound by tragedy and fear and hope, and united in purpose at a moment in time.
We all recall where we were, what we were doing when we first saw the images and realized that our nation was under attack. We were overcome.
We seem to have lost the unity and much of the good will that came after that terrible day.
But we all remember the victims.
