Eight Years Later: Remembering September 11

Rosanne Ferruggia on September 11, 2009 - 2:16pm. Global/Washington D.C./Brussels/London/New York

All year long, members of Young Professionals in Foreign Policy study and debate international affairs. We place the professional ahead of the personal. Today I ask each of you in our global community to put intellect aside for a few moments to reflect on the devastating events that transpired eight years ago today, events that altered forever the world we share. Usually we analyze 9/11 with appropriate objectivity, but today only humanity is appropriate; only grief and reflection.
