One nation—woven of a firm warp

The following events are scheduled to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., on Sept. 11, 2001:

On Thursday - two years to the minute when the second plane hit the World Trade Center - area residents remembered the 9/11 attacks by gazing upon a new flag being raised by the local Boy Scouts.

History again repeats itself.

Some Lodi-area high school students say they would be interested in learning about the events of Sept. 11, 2001, but their textbooks don't even mention it.

Lodi has not been immune to the aftershocks of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 in New York City and Washington, D.C.

Emergency workers know dealing with disaster is part of their job. But exactly what that disaster will be is not so certain. For San Joaquin County, possibilities include fire, flood, nuclear contamination, earthquake and terrorist attack.

It's been five years since the world was stunned by the destruction of the World Trade Center, damage to the Pentagon and the aborted attempt to fly a plane into the White House. Some people say they haven't been affected, but others feel it to this day.

Not enough coverage on 9-11!

To commemorate the 10th anniversay of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the News-Sentinel is putting together a special section. We need sources for the following stories:

Eleven local religious leaders will offer devotions and prayers at noon today in commemoration of Patriot Day and to remember the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

After the final roaring crash of the second World Trade tower on Sept. 11, 2001, there was a deafening silence. All that could be heard after that was the wailing of sirens as police, fire, and medical personnel went about their duties towards both the living and the dead.

Several Lodi-area churches plan observances of the 9/11 tragedy during their services on Sunday.

Watching the television screen on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, most Americans felt helpless. But Lodi area artists — whether it was that day or in the weeks to come — took to their palettes and drawing boards and put their hearts and tears on blank canvases to show their patriotism, the vulnerability that was felt across America and the grief that struck a nation.

Kevin Alex was 3 1/2 years old when the Twin Towers were hit on Sept. 11, 2001, and he has little to no memory of the actual event.

Lodi is thousands of miles from the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, and yet in one sense has been at Ground Zero before, during and since Sept. 11, 2001.

I was sleeping when my wife walked into the room and touched me on the shoulder. I'd worked swing shift the night before, so I was out like a light.
