Maybe those wayward letters join up with the socks that escape from dryers.

1964 - The last of the Friday Night Fights was seen on free, home TV. The Gillette Safety Razor Company, Madison Square Garden and ABC-TV televised a fight between Dick Tiger and Don Fullmer from Cleveland, OH. Tiger beat Fullmer to wrap up the 20-year TV series.

For the first time, terrorists had struck on U.S. soil. Air traffic to and from U.S. airports was halted. 19 Muslim militants, all men, all in their 20s and 30s, members of Osama Bin Laden’s al-Qaeda, had hijacked at least four planes all in the name of their religion: Islam.

One jet destroyed a section of the Pentagon, killing 189 people. On the plane in Pennsylvania, the brave souls aboard tried to regain control from their hijackers. Their plane crashed in a field. There were no survivors. The 19 Islamic religious fanatics of Middle Eastern descent wanted to destroy what Americans stand for. They died in vain. But, the people they murdered did not.

The battle cry of the United States against terrorists became, “Let’s roll!” (Todd Beamer’s last words as heard by an Airfone operator minutes before Flight 93 crashed.)
