For nine years we have been remembering, commemorating, reflecting upon the tragic events that took away more than 3,000 Americans, that took away our innocence, that changed our nation on a sunny Tuesday morning.
This Saturday, we will still solemnly remember and shed many tears. We always will.
However, one thing will be missing, and it has been missing for several years…
What is sadly missing is the unity Americans felt after those heinous events, when we all came together regardless of politics, regardless of national origin, regardless of religion—when we were all one.
Today, our nation is bitterly divided, perhaps even more divided than it was four or five years ago at the height of an unpopular war and amid unpopular government measures.
Today, the reasons may be different, but the divisions are just as deep—or deeper.
