Eight Years Later: Reflecting on 9/11

by Frank Williams

On the one hand, it is difficult to believe that eight years have passed since the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01. On the other hand, we seem remarkably far removed from the horrific events of that now infamous day.

On 9/11, Al Qaeda struck at the heart and soul of our nation. We were attacked by an enemy that reviles our freedom and wants to kill us (there is no point in mincing words on this issue). For the first time in many years, Americans felt as though our way of life — our freedom, this grand, unprecedented, unparalleled experiment known as the United States — was threatened by an enemy who had now proven they could hit us where it hurts.
