9/11 almost forgotten in Stevensville

by Jerry Esmay, Stevensville

Thanks to the Stevensville Police Department and the Fort Owen, Post 94 of the American Legion for putting together a last-minute ceremony to remind us of the importance of September 11th.

Oh, how quickly we forget important national history defining dates, especially those which are negative in nature. For those of us who remember it, 9/11/01 was a “wakeup” call for acknowledging that evil forces were at work in the world, even in the United States. We have been at war against those evil forces ever since.

We must continue to maintain our vigilance against this evil no matter where it comes from and however it tries to destroy our nation. For me, I will also now remember 9/10/25 as another one of those days where we have been challenged with the killing of Charlie Kirk. The evil this time is being pushed by those cowards who want to eliminate free speech.

Again, thanks to those Stevensville citizens who helped ensure 9/11 is not forgotten!
