We usually associate anniversaries with happy occasions: the date of the start of a romance, a wedding, the birth of a company or country. Celebrations abound — parties, dances, company picnics, bands, parades, fireworks, specialty cocktails, and special cakes.
Then there are the other events — the death of a loved one, an accident, corporate bankruptcy, natural disasters such as hurricanes. These events are seared in our hearts, annually marked, not with jubilation, but with longing, sadness, even despair.
Eclipsing both ends of this emotional spectrum are the catastrophic events that bind not just a family or a company, or a community, but a nation. Wars do that. 9/11 did that.
9/11 was perpetrated by Islamic extremists who did the unthinkable. They hijacked planes and used them to bring down New York's Twin Towers and attempted to destroy the Pentagon and other unknown D.C. targets.
Everyone cognizant and alive remembers where he was on 9/11. In the aftermath, the people of the United States exhibited a love for country not seen in decades. American flags waved from houses, skyscrapers, construction sites, and cars. People were kinder, friendlier. The lives of those killed were honored and mourned. Then President Bush swore revenge.

9/11/2001 was NOT a tragedy, it was a deliberate attack which murdered 3000 people, largely innocents. It was the first, horrible attack on this nation, on our soil. It was the start of a twenty year war which we have now lost, thanks to the #JihadJunta who “took control” of the Federal Government last November. Do not call 9/11 a tragedy, for it was an act of war which continues to this day. A was against US Patriots, of which I am one. They want us DEAD.
20 years later and we have a puppet playing president doing even more destruction to this country than a terrorist could ever hope to. This is the one world order bringing America under the submission of the globalists. We know their names, but ultimately in due time, God also knows their name’s and will one day face God’s wrath.
Saw this many years ago. The media would not show people jumping, so not to incense people. They did show them in Europe.
It wasn't long though before leftists demanded, and got, flags removed from fire trucks because to them the flag is "offensive".
