Pinkerton: The Hard Lessons of 9/11 

Hard to believe it’s been 24 years since 9/11. The memories are so fresh: the planes crashing into buildings, the people fleeing, the firemen running—hundreds of them to their deaths—and the bells tolling. With the passage of nearly a quarter-century, it’s worth distilling some hard lessons.

Exclusive–UIOWA Repeat Offender Fails in Attempt to Mock YAF 9/11 Memorial with Paper Airplanes

The University of Iowa Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) chapter’s annual September 11 ‘Never Forget’ memorial was targeted Wednesday by a student who threw a paper airplane at the display. One effort fell short, while another reached the memorial but caused no damage. The incident occurred on the 24th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, in which 2,977 people were killed at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and aboard United Flight 93.
