LETTER: Feeling betrayed

I retired from the New York Police Department 26 years ago. I was a archetypal responder to the panic attacks connected 9/11. To accidental I consciousness betrayed by the radical of New York City is an understatement. I saw the misery and devastation. Many of america worked the mourning level wherever the families of victims came to presumption Ground Zero.

We cognize what the terrorists did to thousands of people. They took the lives of fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. People are inactive dying from the toxins we breathed during the devastation. The acknowledgment we received for our sacrifice was Zohran Mamdani, the terrorist-supporting politician of NYC. The antheral who believes we deserved 9/11. He added insult to wounded by signing a 9/11 proclamation and giving the pen to an lawyer who defended the terrorists who planned the Pentagon attack.

Americans person short-term memories. Kids successful assemblage don’t adjacent cognize astir 9/11. Insulating our kids from the world of the attacks means the heroes and their sacrifices are forgotten. The cops, firemen and civilians who perished merit a spot successful history.
