Today is the 22nd anniversary of the horrible Muslim terrorist attack that took place in both New York and Washington DC, which claimed the lives of 2,996 people. I would wager that every one of you, assuming you were alive back then, can remember where you were and what you were doing when it happened. I know I sure can.

We all remember that dreadful day of watching planes hijacked by Al-Qaeda Muslism terrorists fly into the twin towers and then watching the towers collapse. We all remember seeing people jump out of the buildings before they collapsed because of the extreme heat caused by the explosion. We all remember the faces of those on the ground nearby covered in concrete dust and the big dust cloud that covered that whole area in New York City after the buildings collapsed. And we all remember watching those scenes play out over and over again in a loop on TV for the next 24-48 hours.

One of the greatest moments I remember watching was the 9/11 bullhorn speech from President George W. Bush as he stood at the rubble of the twin towers with the 9/11 responders.

Let’s not forget the extreme heroism of the men and women aboard United flight 93, who took a vote and decided to fight back to try and regain control of their airplane from these Muslim terrorists. They did and it crashed before it could take out any other targets in Washington DC. They died as great patriots of this country.

Many of us will never forget the thousands of lives lost that day, but many have already forgotten the great wound and pain it caused. Our country has spiralled out of control since then and I fear, because of the open border policies of our leftist politicians, that we may yet incur another attack like this from those wishing to do us great harm. I pray that’s not the case but it’s something we should all be truly concerned about. I’m honestly surprised it hasn’t happened yet.

I’m sure some of you had connections to those who died in the attacks on 9/11 and have stories from that day. Please tell them in the comments below.
