God bless all who were effected by the evil attack that was perpetrated on the United States on this day 18 years ago. Bless those who were horrifically murdered in the attacks, those who bravely responded and lost their lives trying to save others, and those responders who were killed that day but did not realize it until years later. Bless the victims, the 1st responders, the soldiers, and all of their families.
May the American people remember back to that attack, remember the DAY AFTER when the nation came together in unity - BEFORE politicians and criminals and foreign countries began doubling-down on attempting to divide this nation, splitting it damn-near in half. May that memory bring common sense to Americans, wake them up, and to open their eyes and totally reject the true enemies within this country who seek to 'divide and conquer' instead of unite in strength as we were on 9/12/01.
Those who seek to turn the tragedy of 9/11 into a political farce: Don't do it. I lived around the Pentagon that day, I was almost on the road by the Pentagon because it was my route to work. The explosion from the Pentagon shook the ground below my feet in my bathroom while I was brushing my teeth in a blast that I had never felt before. Then I did the best that I could. Which ended up only being handing out sandwiches and cold drinks to cops, giving a pint of blood, and volunteering to care for patients in the ER, but the hospital I was at did not have a burn unit and the victims were being transported to the level one trauma hospitals. That day I saw the strength of our diverse community in Northern Virginia. Whites, blacks, hispanics, Asians, Middle Easterners all turned out to help in any way they could.
The tragedy of 9/11 cannot be used to divide our nation.
The truth is not political. The best way to honor the victims is with the truth. Blood calls out from the grave for the true killers to be brought to justice. And it wasn't Muslims.
