Greetings!
Thank you for your support of this 9/11 Project commemorating the 20th anniversary of September 11, 2001. It is difficult to believe it has been 20 years since that fateful day. We hope you will join us as we commemorate, not only the tragedy of that day but the unity and the strength we, as Americans, had in the immediate aftermath. Collectively, we showed the world what true American exceptionalism is and how, when we pull together, there isn't anything we can't do!

We are very excited to have the support of state and local community leaders! The list is growing, and we are pleased to announce the support of U.S. Senator Mitt Romney, Congressman Blake Moore, Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, State Senator Ann Millner, and Utah House Representatives Miles, Wilcox, and Gwynn (who does double duty as the Chief of Police for Roy City). We're also delighted to have the support of Weber County's Sheriff, Ryan Arbon, Sutherland Institute's Rick Larsen, and the police and fire communities of Weber County.
This week, we started meeting with the City Councils throughout Weber County. This week we met with Pleasant View, Farr West, Huntsville, Plain City, and Harrisville. We are so excited to have their support. Stay tuned for more exciting announcements!

Did you know that construction on the Pentagon began on September 11, 1941, 60 years to the day before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001? |
|
The Pentagon, headquarters for the Defense Department, was attacked that day. American Airlines Flight 77 flew into the west wall of the building‘s first floor, setting off a chain of events that killed 125 people inside — most of whom were Army and Navy service members and employees — along with the 64 people on board the Boeing 757. |
