Hugh Hewitt expresses my sentiments exactly:
Thanks to the soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, coast guard, counter-terrorism and public safety professionals who have prevented a second attack for eight years.
The enormous cost of the battles in Afghanistan, Iraq and around the world have been made so that there have not had to be more pictures like this one. We remember the victims of 9/11 today, but we also need to salute the thousands killed and tens of thousands wounded in the war with the Islamists, fanatics who would gladly see a 9/11 every day in their war with the West.
