When we use military metaphors to make sense of domestic tragedies, we blind ourselves to the realities of human suffering.

Like the story of 9/11, the story of the pandemic is about the struggles of civilians to be taken seriously in the aftermath of government negligence. As in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, our obsession with “getting back to normal” underpins much of the conversation about the pandemic. The media at the time highlighted their “brave” return to schools and homes, fulfilling their patriotic duty of [“getting back to normal”](https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/sept-11-health-1.6170363) as quickly as possible, breathing air they were promised was safe. This fall we’ll be sending our children back to schools that have no covid mitigations in place and repeating the same careless mistakes we made with students after 9/11, potentially imposing a lifetime of illness in service of our desire to believe that our problems are over — or, more troublingly, that we’ve “vanquished” them. Much the same is true for the pandemic, which lingers in ways we find we can endure precisely because our martial metaphors accustom us to thinking we will definitively defeat it. The more than 300,000 civilians who breathed in the toxic air of Lower Manhattan after the attacks found that the only way to amplify public awareness of their illnesses was to position themselves as different kind of soldiers — troops in the fight to save the economy (a position that played into Rudy Giuliani’s [assertion](https://www.nytimes.com/2001/10/01/nyregion/full-text-giuliani-addresses-united-nations.html) that “the resilience of life in New York City is the ultimate sign of defiance to terrorists”).

“Our parents have said this to my sister and me many times: Their view of the events of that day is much more joyful than most,” says Seth Freeman. “They weren’t focused on much else other than the delivery,” says Seth Freeman, a junior studying accounting in the Poole College of Management. “It was also how our extended family found out that we had been born.” He called his parents in Wilmington, a cousin in Hertford and the hospital in Boston, where practically no one knew what was going on. “We had been rained out in New York and I played cards all-night on the flight to Tampa. “They had no idea what was going on.” 11 found their parents at a hospital in Greensboro delivering twins. Neither Kathryn Nixon nor her doctors knew what was happening in Washington, D.C., New York City or Somerset County, Pennsylvania, throughout her contractions and delivery.

By Robbyn Swan, FloridaBulldog.org - An FBI analysis of phone records links subjects of its probe to a key communications hub used by al Qaeda.

In the end, the only relevant information Abdullah provided was the suggestion that someone bearing a name similar to Aidarus’s had been the hijackers “closest friend” in San Diego. He suggested that the calls must have been made by his Saudi roommate, calling his “folks.” He did not have a reply, agents noted, when questioned as to why the “folks” of a Saudi national would be residing in Yemen. They had noted the “inconsistencies” and that certain answers Aidarus had given contradicted those of other witnesses they had interviewed. He said he thought the pair were just “students,” that he could not have imagined they would have been involved in terrorist activity because they were “not smart.” And that he vomited when he saw their pictures on television after the attacks. And the March calls to the al Qaeda hub in Yemen? because they did not read or write English and needed assistance in comprehending the locality.” Aidarus said Bayoumi told him he “was responsible for” Hazmi and Mihdhar. In addition to the series of calls involving Aidarus, Saudi diplomat Thumairy also received a call from Malaysia in those final days of December. When interviewed in 2001, another 2006 report notes, Aidarus had admitted having been friends with al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar, but his “knowledge of the two 9/11 hijackers was not further exploited” by his interviewers. The discovery, for example, that both Osama bin Laden and one of the bombers in the 1998 attacks at U.S. 9/11 survivor Sharon Premoli, who was severely injured in the collapse of the WTC’s North Tower, believes that with the story that emerges here, “History is about to be rewritten.” And, the material relating to Thumairy, Bayoumi and the “set up calls,” contains just the kind of “additional information” and “contradicting statements” the FBI’s closing memo suggested it had resolved. Operation Encore was set up in 2007 in part to examine whether three Saudi men – Thumairy, Bayoumi and Musaed al Jarrah, a mid-level official at the Saudi Embassy in Washington – had provided hijackers Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi with assistance when they arrived in California in January 2000.

Let us keep the memories of the fallen alive, focused not on the tragedy of the attack, but on the beauty of our response and the opportunity we still have to use our memories to propel us to a better future. We remember 9/11 when we, like the 412 first responders who lost their lives that day and the hundreds more who continue to deal with long-term effects, seek first to help others.When we see and celebrate the greatness in those around us, we remember. If we want to keep the memory of 9/11 alive, to truly remember it, we must do more than merely observe its passing. The passengers’ collective decision to intervene?Do you remember how, over the course of a single morning, the nation changed? Do you remember the people who lived and worked on Manhattan, desperately searching for safety?Do you remember the hundreds of watercraft that answered the Coast Guard’s call and completed the largest maritime evacuation in history, taking more than a half-million people from the island? Do you remember the reports of Flight 93?

With flights grounded, travel back to Norfolk was at first impossible, but I made it work after only a few days and a lot of help from family, friends, and even total strangers. I, with my entire family, recognize and honor the great Americans who have fought since 9/11 for a better America and a better Afghanistan. As we remember the lives lost, let us also celebrate the spirit of service lived out by our troops and veterans. It will forever be a day to mourn the loss of innocent life and remind us of the evil we must remain committed to defeat. September 11, 2001 made me, at 11 years old, keenly aware for the first time of what supposedly separated us from ‘normal Americans.’ That tragic day also inspired an entire generation of heroes who volunteered to sacrifice their own time, and potentially their lives, to seek out the terrorists who attacked our homeland.
