9/11 Memorial & The Heroes

Originally posted in 2013. Updated in 2020.




9/11 is one of those moments in history that will never be forgotten and a moment where everyone remembers exactly where they were. I know a lot of great men and women who answered the call in the years that followed and volunteered for military service or as first responders. Multiple combat deployments later, years of patrol, and thousands of lives saved, you can’t deny that they are exactly the type of people that make our country great!





Seeing it all in person is such an emotional experience. It’s hard to really visualize the true impact of that day and the lives that were lost though videos and news clips. It’s also hard to understand the true heroics that took place that day until you’re there. Whatever you have to do, visiting the 9/11 memorial this is one of the things that as an American you must see. Words can’t really paint the picture adequately.
