Twenty-five years after 9-11, America’s resolve must remain steadfast. The threats to our nation are always evolving, and we must continue to prepare and continue to raise a generation willing and able to serve and sacrifice.

After 9/11, Americans of all stripes united and responded to tragedy.

Many became law enforcement officers and nurses, or volunteered to confront our enemies.

I'm grateful to be part of that generation, and I appreciate @Anna_Giaritelli of @dcexaminer for writing this piece.
