I watch this video every 9-11 and it still brings me to tears. It’s the story of 24 year old Welles Crowther and how he gave his life saving 15+ complete strangers. Everyone should watch it. #NeverForget https://t.co/gaX3Vdocxq

"I remember - a perfect beautiful day in DC walking into the Capitol. Hearing that the first plane hit watching on tv the second plane hit, looking out my window overlooking the Mall and seeing smoke from Pentagon," Rep. Stacey Plaskett, delegate to the U.S. Virgin Islands, wrote. "I remember - Evacuating the Capitol. The magnitude of loss, the overwhelming kindness, the pain and resolve but most of all the bravery."
