Yesterday the President participated in 9/11 ceromonies in New York including attending a memorial service.
Today he attended a ceremony at the Fort Pitt Firehouse on the lower east side of Manhattan afterwhich he travelled to Shanksville, Pennsylvania to lay a wreath at the Flight 93 crash site.
He and the First Lady then went to the Pentagon to lay another wreath at the crash site there as in Shanksville the President and first lady met with families of those who lost their lives after the wreath laying ceremony.
Yesterday the Vice President appeared on the Meet the Press. Today he led the remembrance Ceremony at the White House joined by his specially invited guest Baroness Thatcher who also attended a memorial service with him at John's and later at the State Department.
Later on this evening the President will address the nation please feel free to use this thread as safe live thread.
I urge all that have not yet done so to check out Wolfstar's dose from yesterday where she does a fantastic timeline of the event of 11th September 2001. There are also some fantastic photos some of which you probably will not have seen before.
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
There are some more of her which when I have got dad to bed I will post with the VP and although in a couple she looks old on the whole she looks in fairly good health.
It has yet to air here.(Not air time yet.)

***...as he said, literally "that line from the song: our flag was still there," and he said it gave him hope.***
Wonderful. Gives me hope that a boy would see the meaning of the flags.
