9/11 Survivors, First Responders Excluded from 20th Anniversary Events at Ground Zero
Spencer Brown / Townhall Tipsheet
As Americans across the country prepare to observe the 20th
anniversary of 9/11, one group of those impacted by the terrorist
attacks is being excluded from official ceremonies at Ground Zero in
lower Manhattan.
The official press release from the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum — chaired by Michael Bloomberg — explains:
The commemoration is for family members of victims of the
2001 and 1993 attacks, and they have been invited to participate in
this year’s reading of the names. The 9/11 Memorial Museum will be open
solely for family members, beginning at 7 a.m.
On
September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 innocent people were murdered by
radical Islamic terrorists. The loved ones of those whose lives were
snuffed out 20 years ago deserve to have a venue to mourn and remember.
But shouldn't survivors from Ground Zero who worked in the towers or
responded to the attack — many of whom had friends and colleagues who
didn't make it home that night — also have the chance to mourn at the
site or participate in the ceremony?
Today, Friday, September 10th, from 7 to 8:00pm EST, RIGHT SIDE PATRIOTS
Craig Andresen and Diane Sori present their Special 9/11 Tributeincluding 'Never Forget...Never Forgive'; and '20 Years and 20/20 Hindsight.' Hope you can tune in to RIGHT

Op-ed: Never Forget, Never Forgive By:
Diane Sori /The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on Right Side Patriots Radio
It's been 20 years...almost a generation...and yet to me and many others it seems
just like yesterday.
And
so as we approach this most sacred and solemn of days we now sadly see hovering over our country a fear that this horror might well be repeated. And while I and
so many others still cry and pray for both dear friends and family lost
and even for
those we didn't personally know, September 11, 2001 will always remain the day
America's heart was pierced as buildings fell, a plane crashed in a
field, and
we as Americans came together to collectively mourn. And mourn we did not only
for those lost but for our
country as well...for our beloved America was now and forever changed in
the span of just one single day...a day when we saw and felt
camaraderie... a day that now sadly finds us again being divided.
And
for those of us who were forced by circumstances to suddenly grow up
and leave childhood behind...for those of us who actually tasted the
all-powerful and
forever lingering smell of death...and even for those of us who were
personally
untouched by an event that should not ever have been…we all have
ingrained within our consciousness images that haunt...images once
unimaginable of destruction and death here on
American soil...destruction and death that mingled together the blood of
our fellow countrymen…images that have
now become, for some, but a sad reminder of the evils that men do while
believing their misplaced cause is both just and righteous.
But
there are also images remembered of true heroes born...like Todd Beamer
and his fellow passengers who turned two simple words, "Let's Roll," into
our nation’s
then newest battle cry...as well as images of true warriors lost...60
brave men and women
in blue, 12 brave paramedics, and 343 brave firefighters including
Father Michael Fallon Judge, the chaplain of the NYFD who passed away
while tending to the wounded and dying...heroes and warriors gone in the
mere blink of an
eye.
And September 11th should always be remembered as the day when
"hyphens" were dropped and "Old Glory" could be seen
flying proudly everywhere across
this great land as Americans came together to unite and stand
undivided as one...Democrat,
Republican, Christian, Jew, white, black, brown, yellow, red, and police
blue...all joined together...all sharing the same sadness and pain. Yet now that feeling seems lost even though the happenings
at "Ground Zero" in New York City, the Pentagon complex, and at a vacant field in Shanksville,
Pennsylvania should remain sacred American holy grounds
that forever help keep us all united in God’s embrace. For how could those sacred grounds not be a uniting force when in their rich soil rests the souls of the 2,973 innocent
victims...innocent victims who in
their own right are heroes all…heroes who awoke so full of life and promise on a beautiful
sunny and warm September day...yet 2,973 innocents destined by fate never to return
home... never again to kiss their husbands and wives...never again to hold their
sons and daughters or play with their grandchildren...mothers, fathers, brothers,
sisters, aunts, uncles and dear friends…2,973 innocent victims never to be
forgotten by those they left behind…innocent victims now safe for all eternity never to be
hurt again.
And as we approach another September 11th, know that we are
embattled not just with enemies in far off lands, but with enemies within our own country as well...enemies who we are sadly allowing to not just take away our hopes and dreams, but our memories of that fateful
and cruel September day.
And it's these very enemies within, via our misguided complacency, that have allowed our children's future to be selectively targeted with their
erasing of America's past...9/11 most surely to be included. And without
memories of our nation's past...ugly as some of those memories might be...we
as a nation cannot truly become what we were destined by our Forefathers
to be, for when American flags and statutes are ordered to be taken down, when the
roll call of victims names is discouraged...9/11 victims, Benghazi victims, and those of our recently lost military heroes as well...9/11
becomes just another day in the calendar, and that is something we cannot
nor must not allow to happen.
And with the "Freedom Tower" now reaching up to touch the sky where the "World Trade Center"
once stood, a simple message in concrete and steel still tells the
world that not only did America come back from the
ashes...but that the spirit of camaraderie felt on that fateful day can
once again be ignited within us...but only if we allow it to be. And yet in my heart of hearts I
still do believe that America will never truly be brought to her
knees...she might stumble and fall a bit as we sadly are now bearing witness to...yet the fact remains that America will indeed survive
because America must
survive. And survive we will not just for us, the generation who lived the nightmare that was
9/11, but for future
generations as well...that is as long as we put partisan politics and old hatreds aside and unite together to collectively become as one..."We the American People."
And the kinship of being one with America should be
the main lesson learned from a sunny September day so many years ago...a
day when the "spirit of survival" itself along with pride in our country
was awoken in everyday Americans...Americans from all walks of
life...Americans of every color and creed...the "spirit of survival"
that must not now nor ever be taken away from "We the People' no matter what evils befall us, for by taking away that "spirit" you've taken away our country's very reason for being.
And so when we gather together to remember and honor
the 2,973 victims of 9/11, let's also remember and honor the four victims of another 9/11... Ambassador
Christopher Stevens, Information Officer Sean Smith, and ex-Navy SEALS Glen
Doherty and Tyrone Woods...four brave men who, too, made the ultimate sacrifice in a nightmare called Benghazi. And we should also honor the thirteen heroes who recently made their final journey home in caskets draped in American flags, for their sacrifice was made in Afghanistan, the very land where 9/11 actually began.
2,973 heroes, plus four, and now plus thirteen more. God Bless them all for they're finally "home"
to be forever safe in "His" arms...never to be hurt again…never to be
forgotten...always to be
honored and to live on in our hearts...for by us honoring them...by us
remembering them...both their memories and their life's history will live on.
And so I leave you with this, my prayer of sorts, "May God the Father bless our beloved America
today, tomorrow, and always. And may our tears for those lost never stop flowing
for to forget their sacrifice or to just relegate it to a place in our nation's history we no longer visit makes
us no better than the uncivilized sorts who are the true enemies of freedom." And to that I say "Amen."
For those who have sadly forgotten the true horrors of 9/11, this video '9/11: Ground Zero Underworld'
shows not only the nightmare itself, but the personal side of the
heroes who searched and died below Ground Zero in the immediate
aftermath of the day that changed America forever.
This video from theHistory Channelgives a visual timeline of the most horrific event in our nation's history.
And
lastly, below is what I consider to be the most powerful and memorable
9/11 commemorative commercial ever made...officially only run
once...rightfully replayed via the internet countless times.

The Biden Administration Really Didn't See This Coming in Afghanistan
Matt Vespa / Townhall Columnist
I mean, is this a joke? How are Democrats this dense? Why are they so bad
at the foreign policy game? Did anyone really think the Taliban were
going to form an inclusive government? Their religion does not allow it.
Their core philosophy does not allow it.
These
are radical Islamists. There was never going to be an inclusive
government. It’s back to 1996. And no one cares if the world is
watching. The Taliban sure don’t. They endured this before and survived.
Afghanistan is already isolated. They don’t care, especially when they
know they have near assurance that Biden nor any western nation will
re-invade the country. They can do what they want. The naivete of the
Biden State Department is beyond appalling. It’s almost tragicomic (via The Hill):
The State Department on Tuesday expressed concerns over the makeup of
the new interim Afghan government announced by the Taliban, including
the lack of female leaders and the past actions of some of those
appointed to top posts. Read more and see tweets and videos here.
State Department obstruction of private rescue flights from Afghanistan revealed in leaked email Peter Hasson| Fox News
EXCLUSIVE: The State Department refused to grant official approval for private evacuation flights from Afghanistan
to land in third countries, even though the department conceded that
official authorization would likely be needed for planes to land in
those nations, an email reviewed by Fox News shows.
Furthermore, the State Department explicitly stated that charter
flights, even those containing American citizens, would not be allowed
to land at Defense Department (DOD) airbases.
Eric Montalvo, who organized a series of private flights evacuating
those stranded in Afghanistan, shared that email and others with Fox
News after his evacuation efforts were…Read more and see video here.
