As we gear up to commemorate the tragedy of 9/11/01, I have one demand. Tell the truth.
Joe Biden talks about the WTC site as "where the towers fell". They didn't fall. They were felled by terrorists. That September day ten years ago was an act of war.
They will weep and moan about how it's a time of diversity, to come together. Make sure they address it honestly. The ONLY good news of the day was a guy named Todd on Flight 93 who, 30 minutes after the first tower was struck, called out "Let's roll" and precipitated the resistance movement aboard that plane that brought down the fourth plane far from its intended target and saved us from the Robert Byrd Administration.
I remember where I was. I had two tests that morning and some work in the greenhouse, but I remember rushing about the campus wondering why people were huddled around TVs. It was 9PM Pacific before the professor in the neighboring greenhouse broke the news to me. See, I didn't even own a TV.
Just like the internet doesn't fact check, even at a time when Google says it saves us money because we don't have to go to the library, many of these people aren't concerned with what really happened. PEOPLE DIED that day, and we haven't managed, ten years hence, to build a decent memorial to the victims. What a shame. What a crying shame.
Terrorists did this. It was a cowardly act of war perpetrated against innocent civilians who could not fight back and didn't know they would need to. Thank God for a decade of relative peace and safety.
America's new December 7th in what may come to be known as the Third World War.
