You know what I remember most of all? A plane full of mostly commuting passengers bound for home and other points, settling in for a short morning flight when they realized something was going terribly wrong. Those passengers, understanding the dire situation they faced, did their best to contact those they loved, leaving quick last words. And then as a group, they decided they would use the last minutes of their lives trying to prevent what they knew was an attack on America. They fought bravely and avoided a catastrophe at the White House or Capitol building the likes of which had never been seen on this soil. Resistant, heartbroken and terrified, they fought with their last breaths and moments to ensure the survival of things greater than themselves and came to rest forever in a field in Pennsylvania.
On January 6, 202, entitled, misguided, angry mobs sought to mock and undo this bravest sacrifice by invading, defacing and ignoring the cultural sanctity of the very places whose continued existence has been been bought with blood. When they shout and crow about the unstoppable force that is the right, they offend the very children and partners and family members who've live devoid of a loved one for more than 20 years. Children who grew up without a parent, newlyweds who had only weeks of their promised lifetime, mothers who would never see their children become adults.
So the next time you're waving a flag while trying not to spill your beer, amazed at your patriotic attitude, keep in mind you cannot both memorialize 9/11 and support insurrection. The collapse of American government was the object of both.

@Graylight Thank you, I could not have said it better 🥴 Sad that it needs to be said at all!

@spjennifer Thank you. This sits hard with me, this innate flippancy so many citizens seem to have. I think it's time for us to collectively mature a little and be respectable on a world stage. Hell, be respectable enough to tell your child this is a great nation and truly mean it.

@ElsaKaren The thing is, if we don't "discuss it", many will forget about it, sadly 😥

Our government lied to us about 9/11. Lots of shady things went down on 9/11, things that the official government explanation is a lie or inaccurate. The 9/11 Commission Report. The US government has sociopaths at it's highest level. That should never be forgotten.

@Nature3 Did our Government make mistakes? I'm quite certain they did but I seriously doubt your conspiracy theories 😖

@spjennifer Every single conspiracy theory related to 9/11 doesnt need to be proven correct or believed and some will not be true but there are things that happened on that day that our government has not told the truth on or which there is very insufficient reason to go with what has been said. Many things do not add up.
