Ripton Parish Chapter DAR Members Remember the Victims of 9/11

Twenty-five years ago, on the morning of September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners with scheduled flights from the east coast to California. The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were intended targets, with a fourth aircraft striking an open field at Shanksville, PA, when passengers and crew challenged the terrorists.
