What separates us from the animals, what separates us from the chaos, is our ability to mourn people we’ve never met.”

20 years after September 11, 2001, we commemorate the 2,977 lives we lost and honor those who risked and gave their lives. As we saw in the days that followed, unity is our greatest strength. It’s what makes us who we are — and we can’t forget that. pic.twitter.com/WysK8m3LAb

On September 11, 2001, Flight 93 went down on the barren site of an old strip mine in Pennsylvania. Now a memorial there provides “a useful metaphor for healing,” @williams_paige writes. https://t.co/Hp7mCbnmmU

Dear friends: 20 years later, I returned to #GroundZero, where I had worked as a chaplain, along with my Jesuit brothers after #September11. There we ministered to rescue workers and celebrated Mass. Reflections on those days at the World Trade Center. https://t.co/bkHzhq3MVp

Rereading editorials in @thenation written the day after 9/11 always leaves me in awe of how clear and correct the editors were from the very beginning. https://t.co/TmRyMCnYCl pic.twitter.com/yUgSwh79cA

The US has killed more than 363,000 civilians in the wars after #September11, yet calls to #NeverForget rarely seem to include these innocents lost. It's no accident: the military has dodged transparency at every turn. Inside the 20-year casualty cover-up.https://t.co/AOQrFMg0Cz
