Nineteen years later the never forget 9/11 brings back once again the startling terror that struck the U.S. — only this year being engulfed by the horrific Covid-19 Pandemic. Clashing with the day to never forget is a virus taking over the country and world putting tributes of remembrance at risk along with lives.

That deadly day should not be remembered in vain. Not only is it vital to recall all those lost on September 11, but it is also imperative to acknowledge how everyone immediately came together to fight against terror. There was no mention of race, religion, or political beliefs as each worked in unison to overcome the tragedy and rebuild as one nation.

Never Forget 9/11 Now Guided by Pandemic

Historically the single deadliest day in the U.S. saw almost 3000 lives lost in an instant. Along with life lost, that moment in time also caused injuries to more than 6000 people. Until 2020 it was unthinkable that any other tragedy to hit the country could ever be worse.

The terrorists who hit us strove to divide this nation. Instead, their timed attacks proved to bring the United States together. Those leading the U.S. in 2020 are now giving the attackers what they sought to cause — the country in turmoil filled with hate destroying each other.
