Anniversaries of 9-11, 2001
The attack on our country at the World Trade Centers, the Pentagon and a plane crash near Shanksville Pennsylvania, claimed the lives of 2996 people. An interesting thing happened that day. Americans gained a new appreciation for our nation's military, many of whom went to war to avenge 9-11. The more unified feeling included an increased respect for Vietnam veterans.

Editorial September 11, 2021: 911, 2001, that fateful day when 2996 innocent people died in an attack on our country.
We all remember where we were that morning in 2001. I heard a news bulletin come over one of our local radio stations. Then to a television to see the horrific event unfold. It shook me to the core thinking of how our country could be attacked. It is a sad commentary that others would try to gain by destroying so many lives. This kind of treachery cannot stand. My thanks to our nation's all-volunteer military for taking up the challenge of avenging 911. Many service members died in the process. Ceremonies are held each year in Brainerd honoring all Americans involved. It is a sobering reminder that the War on Terror is not over. |
