Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer has continued his tradition of remembering 9/11 by posting a series of “live tweets,” retelling what he experienced back on September 11, 2001. At the time of the terrorist attack, Fleischer was in Florida with then-president George W. Bush.
“As I do every year, tomorrow I will live-tweet my memories of what happened seventeen years ago, on September 11, 2001. I hope everyone will remember and say a prayer for those who were killed and for their families. Time passes by, but what took place must never be forgotten,” Fleischer tweeted on Monday night.
On 9/11/01, Fleischer started his day at a resort called The Colony, located in Longboat Key in Sarasota, Florida, at 6:30 a.m. He was in the Sunshine State with President Bush, who was in town to visit with children and staff at the Emma E. Booker Elementary School.
Fleischer has been detailing his morning with the president on his Twitter account for the past four hours. You can read through his tweets below.
