Have you forgotten. When those towers filled? We have neighbors still inside going through living. It has been twenty four years since that horrific terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and flight in ninety three. That was not because we don't care. Of course, your thoughts and prayers go out with all the affected by the Islamic terrorist or ducks, and we definitely do not want to forget those who were killed in their families. But there is just so much coverage of it going on today and a lot of it's gonna better than what we could do. So we're gonna just give you a break from the nine to eleven coverage today. Just talk about what else happened on September the eleventh. Let's start off in entertainment.

Sorry, okay, let's see it happened on September eleventh and fifteen oh three. Michelangelo began sculpting the twelve Apostles. Yeah, for the cathedral on flors Now, the oversized marble slating statues would be of Jesus' apostles. So why haven't you heard of it? Well, only one of them, that Saint Matthew, was partially finished. Yeah, Michael Angel, he got a little too busy. Casimir Polanski, he was a Polish Army officer, got into little trouble over there in Poland. Not only was he kicked out of the Polish Army, he was told to leave Poland and never come back. So I came the United States.

3:00 He joined a fight for the American independence against Britain. They formed the United States Calvary, so they made him in general. Then today, in seventeen seventy seven, it was that the Battle of Brandywine out there in Pennsylvania, the British readiest kick in the United States, but big time everything seemed lost. Then at the last second, Polanski he showed up in his arts he wrote in grabbed General George Washington and got him out of the battle into safety. So pretty impressive. I'm not a lot said about the Polish cavalry officers saving George Washington's life. Well see, at the time they thought it made George sound weak, so they didn't want it out there. Now, when you think about the presidential cabinet, you know the members kind of I think of him anyway as a bunch of like, yes guys, they just got to do what other president wants. Well, in eighteen forty one President John Tyler he vetoed a banking though his entire cabinet except for the secred of the State. They resigned in protest.

Yeah, well, the Federal Reserve, it actually did become law in nineteen thirteen under Wilson. Get this. One year later Wilson said he had kind of regretted signing it ever since.
