September 11th, 2001 will be remembered as the day America felt an act of ultimate evil, and 2,977 innocent souls lost their lives. Our nation was forever changed that day, but America showed what her people are made of immediately after the events. Through the darkness, we let love and kindness shine as a beacon for the world to see. Now 20 years later, where are we as a nation? Twenty years after the defining event of my generation, where are we as a country?
