This week, marked the 17th anniversary of the deadly 9/11 terrorist attacks which killed close to three thousand Americans and wounded over six thousand more. And, while 9/11 doesn’t seem all that long ago, we must never forget the lessons we learned and the impact this attack had on our country.
Throughout our nation’s history – when we have experienced difficult times – we have come together to help one another, regardless of background or political affiliation. It’s this very sentiment which has allowed us to become the leaders of the free world, and a beacon of hope to people across the globe.
The video above, is the 9/11 Memorial Service in Cartersville Georgia. Veterans, first responders, and citizens walked 6.5 miles to honor those lost on September 11, 2001.

Because to them it’s more important to make a political statement than it is to ensure the safety and security of Americans.”

“The package of three appropriations bills passed this week marks the first time Congress has completed more than one spending bill on time in over a decade. This package, which President Trump is expected to sign into law, includes the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, Legislative Branch, and Energy and Water Appropriations bills. For too long, Congress has kicked the can down the road and let politics and petty differences interfere with its own appropriations process.
