A leadership talk will take place next Saturday at the Barnes & Noble at South Hills Village.
A group of post-Sept. 11 military authors will address the gap in leadership opportunities for returning military veterans by sharing their leadership experiences from the past 10 years of war. A leadership talk hosted from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 17, at Barnes & Noble at South Hills Village is the headline event in Pittsburgh for the In the Shadow of Greatness national book tour. The veteran authors hope to inspire future leaders in the Pittsburgh area and national leaders for service in government, politics and business. “By sharing the stories of veteran service, we honor all Americans who have given back to their country, those who have served before us and those who have stepped up in this post-9/11 generation,” said …

Firefighters, police officers, medics, soldiers and veterans from around the area gathered Tuesday night at the Bridgeville fire hall to remember the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks 11 years ago.

I remember everything I did on Sept. 11, 2001, but telling the story isn’t easy.
Sept. 11, 2001 is the day that marks the difference between when I was a kid, and when I started growing up. I was 15 years old in the fall of 2001, a sophomore in high school, and an aspiring … something-or-other. It happened on a Tuesday, and I wasn’t thinking much beyond Friday. But when I remember that day, I don’t just remember what happened. I remember everything.

In recognition of the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, Duquesne Light and the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust have developed two temporary lighting projects that will be illuminated on Wednesday, Sept. 7, in Pittsburgh’s Cultural District. The projections are designed to collectively create a space where people can gather and reflect on the enormity of this day and to pay tribute to the nearly 3,000 victims of the terror attacks and their families. Both installations will run Sept. 7 to 18 from dusk until midnight. The first projection, located on the 10th Street façade of the Courtyard Marriott, honors the heroes of United Flight 93 and the ultimate sacrifice they made on behalf of this nation just 80 miles east of Pittsburgh in …
