'The United States is a far less confident and optimistic nation now than it was in September 2001,' historian Michael J. Allen says.
Twenty years later, John Feal, a construction worker turned activist, still mourns the loss of that fleeting moment of national unity that arose after the twin towers of the World Trade Center fell.
“The United States is a far less confident and optimistic nation now than it was in September 2001, which marked the end of a decade of technology-fueled economic growth, foreign policy dominance and presidential centrism,” he said. “But it is also a more diverse nation with a more clear-eyed sense of the serious challenges Americans face and a more realistic sense of the dangers and limits of American power.
There were conspiracy theorists who floated bogus notions that Jews were warned not to show up for work at the twin towers that day and that the attacks were an inside job or even faked, he said. Mino and hundreds of other Afghanistan War veterans have been frantically trying to help the Afghan interpreters who went into battle with them during America’s “longest war” escape the Taliban.“I joined the Army right after graduating from college in July of 2001 at the age of 21, and right before 9/11,” Mino recalled.
“Our government never cared much for where that money was going or how well it was being used, and as a result the Afghan National Army was far smaller and ill-equipped than what the receipts would suggest,” Mino said. “She pointed out something that we should all remember, namely that during all that time there was not another 9/11 attack on U.S. soil,” Iken-Murphy said. “And by having our forces there, the Navy SEALS were able to take out you-know-who.”Regenhard said “the unfinished business of 9/11 is the fact that over 1,100 people remain missing and unidentified.”
