The terrorists soon discovered that a random group of Americans is an exceptional group of people. 从某种意义上说,他们代替了我们所有人。恐怖分子很快发现,随机的一群美国人是一个特殊的群体。 And at the Pentagon, General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs honored the victims of the attacks and the service members who died at the subsequent war in Afghanistan. 在五角大楼,参谋长联席会议主席马克·米利将军向袭击遇难者和在随后的阿富汗战争中牺牲的军人致敬。 Never forget those who were murdered by terrorists.
