We have met the generations test to stand for freedom against a tough challenge, and we have persevered. We are wiser, better, stronger. Today, as we remember the fallen, their families, the bravery of those who face saved countless lives on those dark days and those who are still fighting today, we stand united, dedicated to never forget, never give in, and never lose hope. May god surround and comfort those who lost so much of that day, and may he bless and protect our great nation. It is hard to believe it has been 15 years since 9 11. For many of us, we will never forget the memories of that day. For me, i had breakfast in the pentagon and left 20 minutes to before the plane hit. I remember getting back to my office on capitol hill and a policeman comes running through the halls saying, get out, get out, there is another one coming for us. And people streamed out into the streets not knowing what was happening, how many attacks there would be, or who might be affected. I also remem

Then the 9 11 memorial divided to do the lights which will be done tonight but they still deferred on the reading in recording of the names and the Vice President will attend that briefly come and give remarks to the dhs secretary. A little bit different but just in the shadow of will 20 years no. Less powerful as this city goes through city right now in a different context. Ainsley have you been workin
Good morning to you and your family. It is september 11th, 2016. Youre watching a special edition of fox friends. Today marks 15 years since the 9 11 attacks here in new york city, also in washington, d. C. , and shanksville, pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 americans died on that day. This morning we honor those who lost their lives and those who sacrificed their own lives to save so many others. Its hard to believe it was 15 years ago. Brian and i were in these chairs 15 years ago. Yeah, they were chairs then, not a couch. To be exact, 2,997. Its so good, for one thing, to see something downtown. For the longest time weve been doing the show on 9 11 and there was nothing there. Now theyve got one world trade, which was also known as the Freedom Tower. Which is what we were just looking at. For years, there was nothing there. There was a lot of red tape trying to figure out what to put down there. No one knows that story better than rick levinthal.

Its path of destruction now sparking rapidly rising life threatening water levels. Storm surges that could climb up to 15 feet. 10 to 15 feet of storm surge, i dont know how anybody survives that pray. I dont see prayer as a last resort it should literally be a
