LowEndBox would like to take a moment to remember those who perished in the tragedy that occurred 20 years ago today on September 11, 2001. This appalling event affected the lives of all Americans and indeed, everyone in the world. For a whole generation of people, asking each other “where were you on September 11” is a common bond.
This day will never be forgotten and we wish continued hope and healing to those affected.
