9/11 remembered

Twenty years ago, 19 terrorists murdered 2977 and injured over 6000 more. Most were civilians. Over 400 were first responders from the FDNY and NYPD. Many more first responders are sick and dying from the exposure to toxins from the lower Manhattan site. We continue to lose these amazing heroes.

September 11th was the worst terrorist event in US history.

Here we are in 2021- twenty years later and we have seen Osama Bin Laden killed by US Navy SEALs and decades of war in Afghanistan and Iraq that began in the wake of the attack. We have seen a world wide plague in COVID-19 and a widening political divide domestically.

And I remember those who were lost. And grieve for their futures, that were taken away on that beautiful, bright and sunny Fall morning.
