Moments pass by all the time, sometimes we disregard them as we take a break from those other moments of intense hard work.
Some moments, though, stand out in history – and are important to take note of. Such moments include the instant that the first plane struck the World Trade Towers, and the moment the second one did – instantly stealing the lives of innocent people, and ripping a hole through our nation that we filled with heroism as we came together to heal.
Those moments include the moment a third plane crashed into the Pentagon, and the instant that heroes aboard Flight 93 high above Pennsylvania determined to change history and save untold lives.

Did you know? The Gilbert Riparian preserves are over 300 acres of unique open space in the Valley of the Sun. Established in 1999 and open every day from dawn until dusk, the preserves are a series of groundwater recharge ponds that have been designed to allow visitors the opportunity to experience wildlife and the natural water cycle in an urban setting. Wildlife viewing is a major draw of the preserves. There are more than 200 species of birds and many other native species that frequent this unique environment. A five-acre fishing lake is stocked with various kinds of fish throughout the year. Anglers are welcome with an urban fishing license. Recreational opportunities at the preserves also include over 4.5 miles of trails, interpretive gardens, camping, and picnic ramadas. In addition, the preserves are home to the one astronomy observatory in the valley dedicated to public use. Over one million visitors have frequented the preserves and participated in interpretive programs since 2000. The preserves are a demonstration of sustainable community planning where future water supplies and unique recreation opportunities are maintained for public use.
