With politics getting all the headlines, I pray that Americans will stop and remember the most horrific attacks on the American people in U.S. history. I was stopped in my tracks that morning as I was walking to my flight at the Albuquerque airport. I was to flyout to South Bend, Indiana to help a Christian radio station. I saw on the TV in a restaurant at the airport, burning towers. A few minutes later an announcement came over the PA system that all flights had been grounded. I was in shock. I will never forget.

After 9/11 we were so very united as a country. Sadly here in 2024 we are more divided than ever. What a shame.

VFW Remembers

WASHINGTON — Where were you on 9/11? It’s a question so many of us have repeated over the past two decades. It’s a way we relate to one another as we reflect on the day of one of the most horrific attacks on the American people in U.S. history – Sept. 11, 2001. For the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), we join the rest of the country this Wednesday in remembering and honoring the lives of so many who were tragically taken from us during the terroristic events that took place in New York City, Washington D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, 23 years ago.

Every generation seems to have their own day in history that impacted them in such a way that we remember where we were, what we were doing and how we heard the news. Tragic events like the attack on Pearl Harbor and the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., were mournful memories etched in everyone’s minds at the time. However, the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, were unlike anything ever seen before because for the first time in history, were actually televised and updated in real time. More Here
