Deacon Clarence Johnson remembers 9/11

In brief

Deacon Clarence Johnson shared his reflections on the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, noting that he was inside the Pentagon when American Airlines Flight 77 struck the building.

Writing for the Denver Catholic, Johnson described how the sacrificial love he witnessed during the attacks taught him the meaning of laying down one's life for others. He referenced the biblical passage from John 15:13 to frame his observations of the courage and sacrifice displayed that day.
