It's hard to believe that 10 years have come and gone since the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington D.C. The world experienced unspeakable evil on that day; but, we also saw incredible heroism thanks to the fearless first responders and passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 who stopped the terrorists of hitting their intended target.
Celebrities - like all of us - have different memories of that unforgettable day.
