23 years ago was the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. America was shaken, and she has not truly recovered from it.

I wasn't born yet when the attack happened. I don't know anyone whose life was ruined by that day. But I know there were heroes there - every bit as much heroes as the soldiers at Bunker Hill, Shiloh, Iwo Jima, and other moments in American history.

The 9/11 attack was the Pearl Harbor of our day. And how have we responded? Lately, by forgetting the heroes and excusing the terrorists for their hate crimes. Those who try to speak up about it get shut down because it's not "politically correct".

My friend Ryana posted an article on 9/11 on her blog this morning. I'd highly suggest you go read it; she provides a good dose of the truth our country so desperately needs.

May we never forget the heroes - of any age - who gave their lives to save and defend us.
