DTN News - AFGHAN WAR NEWS: Thirteen Years Later, ISAF Remembers The Fallen
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - September 12, 2014: KABUL, Afghanistan - “Thirteen years ago, on a clear summer morning, al-Qaeda struck the American homeland, and our world irrevocably changed,” said Gen. John F. Campbell, commander of International Security Assistance Force and U.S. Forces - Afghanistan.
Campbell delivered remarks during a ceremony at ISAF headquarters to honor those lost on September 11, 2001 and the sacrifices of countless others since that fateful day.
“Two airplanes sliced through the New York City skyline and smashed into the World Trade Center complex. Less than one hour later, an additional plane crashed into the Pentagon. Minutes later, another -- also headed for the American capital -- plummeted to the earth in Pennsylvania. When it was over, 2,977 men, women, and children representing over 90 countries, diverse cultures, and myriad religions lay dead, innocent victims of one of history's most brazen and reprehensible terrorist strikes.”
