JOHN ONDRASIK: What 9/11 taught us about courage, unity and the price of freedom

9/11 occurred on a Tuesday.

The world sang and cried with us.

The thing about memories

Theyre sure and bound to fade

Except for the stolen souls

Left upon her blade

Imagine standing in your neighborhood on September 12, 2001, and telling your neighbor what America might look like 25 years later.

Imagine telling them that radical leftist ideologies, hostile to America , would infiltrate some of our most prestigious universities and metastasize through mainstream and social media. That members of Congress would echo propaganda promoted by terrorist

organizations such as Hamas. That candidates could associate with people who openly express hatred for America—or even suggest America deserved 9/11—and still win elections and govern American cities.

They would not have believe you, such lunacy!
