As a veteran and a passionate advocate for those who have served, I want to share some thoughts on how 9/11 shaped our country and our generation and why it’s so important that we never forget.
Twenty-three years ago, our nation was shaken to its core. The events of 9/11 brought us face-to-face with unimaginable tragedy, but they also revealed the resilience, courage, and unity that define America.
From the first responders who ran toward danger to the everyday citizens who stood together in the face of fear, we saw the true spirit of this country.
For many of us, 9/11 was a turning point. It shaped a generation of Americans who grew up in its aftermath, knowing the value of freedom, the cost of security, and the importance of standing up for what is right. It inspired countless men and women to serve in the military, protect our way of life, and defend our values.
Why is it so important to remember 9/11? Because history teaches us valuable lessons. It reminds us of the strength that comes from unity, the power of compassion, and the need to be vigilant in safeguarding our freedoms.
Remembering 9/11 is not about dwelling on the past; it’s about learning from it and honoring the sacrifices made on that day and in the years since.
Times may be tough, and challenges will always arise, but we can make a difference. Each of us, as individuals, has the power to make a positive change in our small slices of the world.
I don’t want to dwell on or participate in divisiveness—it has never improved anything. Instead, let’s focus on the positive, help those in need, and be good human beings.
Let’s honor this day by coming together, caring for one another, and showing the world what it means to be united.
Be kind, be compassionate, and remember that tearing each other apart serves no good purpose. We are stronger when we work together for good.
Let’s make this day one of remembrance, reflection, and resolve to build a better future. www.kimlenglingauthor.com Books: https://amzn.to/476b9GB
