9/11 Remembrance Events

We all remember that tragic day and where we were at the time. Let’s Never Forget about the people who lost their lives that day or a loved one.

Dan Mullan of Danville lost a loving cousin, Michael Mullan. A New York City firefighter responded to a mayday call from firefighters trapped inside the World Trade Center’s North Tower…..He never came out.
Deena Burnett of San Ramon lost her husband on that day, and their three daughters(ages 3 & 5 at the time) also lost a father.  Thomas Burnett of San Ramon, vice president and chief operating officer of Thoratec Corporation in Pleasanton, was aboard United Airlines Flight 93.
Burnett and several other passengers stormed the cockpit, foiling the hijackers’ plan to crash the plane into the White House or Capitol Building. To prevent the passengers from taking control of the plane, the hijackers crashed it in a Pennsylvania field, killing everyone on board.
Our nation still mourns the 2,977 people killed in the attack, and the first responders who eventually died from 9/11-related illnesses. It will take many more years for most to overcome the horrors of that day. Here are some 9/11 Remembrances to attend:
