"Li from NPR News, Unlocked Shmees" saying, "Across the country flags are fly...

staff, bells have told, names have been read aloud, and memory of the nearly 3,000 people

who were killed, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks on US soil 25 years ago today.

Ceremonies have been held in New York, and Richard Anthony Chetta, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and outside Washington, D.C., President Trump honor the families and victims of the attacks at the Pentagon, and PR's Frank Ordonia's reports Trump also used the speech to defend the administration's war against Iran."

For months, Ukraine has shown a capacity to strike deep in the Russian interior, a part of a strategy designed to make Russians experience a war that has reached some four and a half years.
