On 9/11/2001, I was a junior in college studying fine arts. I had already worked as a firefighter, cop, and E.M.T., but I saw these as just hobbies, a way to expand my horizons. Instead, I planned on a career in the arts. After the attacks, our economy suffered, and jobs in fine arts were difficult to find. I was forced to reassess my career ambitions, and I started down a different path.
Al Qaeda’s goal with the attacks was to get us to change our way of life. For me, it worked. After 9/11, I discovered that I was not meant to be an artist, but to be a physician. I became an Army doctor and served my country. I continue to serve my community through medicine and the arts. It’s the best way that I can honor the victims who lost their lives twenty-five years ago, and it has given me a truly fulfilled life.
All those who lost loved ones on 9/11 have my prayers and condolences. Still, it’s a day from which I, personally, derive strength. It is the day that I began to discover who I am and how I should live my life. I’ve found that, through adversity, I am stronger. This is a trait that Americans possess as a whole, and it will serve us well again soon.

Please, never forget.

As a physician, it’s not being thin skinned. It’s a state of hyper vigilance. PTSD sufferers struggle to lay down traumatic events in long term memory. They stay in short term memory making every day feel like the same day the event occurred. Struggling with these symptoms? Please seek help:

So why not sue for libel? 🤔

Probably AI but too funny not to share…

“Welcome, but be good!” Huh? Does he know what a passport is for? It’s for leaving the country, not coming in. WTF. 🙈

Ok. Which one of you did this?
