I hadn’t forgotten…

090811opinion_1280x720 1934641943.Today is the 24th anniversary of 9/11

Back then we naively believed that the enemy was largely outside our country.

We united as a nation and we wiped out one of the top five military forces on the planet in less than a week.

24 years later, it looks like the enemy is not only at the gate. They’re within!

We’ve been divided, set against each other and some of our people are celebrating the murder of a 31 year old man who simply spoke what he believed, and asked questions.

24 years ago, I was watching the endless replays of the towers falling and was every bit as angry then as I am today. I was confused, and didn’t understand why we were being attacked, or who was attacking us.

I had family in the area, 24-36 hours followed where I honestly didn’t know if they were all okay.

Today, I clearly know who the enemy is.

They were standing in the House last night in a House session of Congress.

Some of them were standing in Congress 24 years ago as well. Were they always what we’ve seen them to be recently?

I don’t know.

I have mixed feelings. Today we’re supposed to be remembering those who died on 9/11. But 9/10/2025 has to some extent reopened old wounds.
