I remember this day clearly. I was preparing to go to work and my wife had for some reason turned on the television. I watched with disbelief as reruns showed the planes slamming into the Twin Towers. It had not been that long ago that I had been in those buildings, looking out on the Statue of Liberty that could be seen from the Windows on the World restaurant. Many people lost friends and family that day, and many more were lost in the following years. 9/11 lead to a major overhaul of our national security efforts and I worry that the cuts being made by the current administration will leave us more vulnerable to another such terrorist attack.
Sadly, on 09/10/2025 Speaker Johnson presided over a Congressional mob that could not agree to hear a prayer for our Nation and for the family of Charlie Kirk.

I think the tensions in our nation are fueled by our leadership or failure of it. I will not put a party label on it, it’s just Washington.
