The defining moment of our generation will be the terrorist attacks of 9/11/2001. Many older Americans remember the assassination of JFK and believed that nothing could be more horrific than the tragic death of a President. But our generation will always remember The World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania – a morning filled with unfathomable grief. Today, we remeber with moments of silence.
There is no doubt. We are at war – an ideological struggle that defines freedom as oppression and teaches intolerance and hatred as its virtures. A gaping hole in lower Manhattan and memorials in DC and PA – the death of thousands of innocents – this is only a small reminder of the events of that day. May we never forget, in our souls, that we are at war.
