Madame Cholet (Local Large Letter stamp) is based on the mother of #Wombles’ author, Elisabeth Beresford. She is a wonderful, inventive cook who can turn her paw to any recipe using ingredients the Wombles gather on Wimbledon Common #thematicThursdays

Postal employees who worked near Twin Towers remember 9/11: https://t.co/wvWmliPYen #NeverForget #September11

[Freedom Forum @1stForAll]

Today we pause to reflect on and remember the victims of September 11, the first responders and the journalists who helped share their stories with the world. #NeverForget #September11

[Smithsonian @smithsonian]

Today we remember the attacks of #September11, 2001. This clock was knocked to the ground when a plane was crashed into the Pentagon, its hands frozen at the moment of impact.

The plane struck at 9:38 a.m. Apparently the clock—now in @amhistorymuseum—was six minutes slow.

To our annoyance some people have come.
