Those of us who were adults living when four American passenger aircraft were hijacked on the morning of September 11, 2001 said that we would Not Forget what happened to us. The attack was called a new kind of war.

Are we now living in a new kind of war in 2020? Did we as a nation forget what happened to us 19 years ago? After 9/11 we came together as a nation. Why are we so divided now?

Listen to my Podcast below as I recall the events of that morning from my office.
