September 11th, 2012 (Updated)

It was a cool, clear Tuesday morning – just like this one today – 11 years ago when nearly 3,000 souls were lost unnecessarily.  Please take a moment from your busy day to pause and reflect on the tragedy and the losses of lives as well as the losses of those family members and loved ones left behind.

Update:  Reflections from around our blogging community
