“As we reflect as a nation, on the current situation in Afghanistan and on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, I think it is more important than ever, to remind ourselves of the unity, that existed immediately following, the 9/11 attacks.” Joe Reagan
every single one, was like that day. A few steps forward, a few steps back. In my conversations with fellow Veterans, their memories are about the same. The question that keeps coming up is: Was this worth it? Unfortunately, most are having a hard time, with answering that question. There’s a term for that, Moral Injury. Moral Injury, is the mind’s response to actions or memories, that are in violation of a person’s values and beliefs – some might say, it’s an injury to your soul. For 20 years, the full weight of The War On Terror, fell on the shoulders, of less than 1% of us. 2.7 million Americans, voluntarily answered the call to serve, .7% of the U.S. population, to be precise. 7,057 never

20 Years Since 9/11 A Soldier Reflects On His Service, Asking “Was It Worth It?” By Joe Reagan, Wreaths Across America, Director Of Military And Veteran Outreach

It is beyond the obvious, in saying, that the past few days, have been extraordinarily difficult, for those with a personal connection, to our mission in Afghanistan. My wife Tiffany and I, are no different. Earlier this week, a CNN Reporter Broadcast from a base in Andar, Afghanistan – this was a base that my soldiers and I built, it’s the base, where I was wounded, in 2006. Seeing it on the screen, brought back a lot of memories – good and bad. When we first secured Andar, we were using an open space, adjacent to the district center compound,
