I mean, I think we not only had the attacks, my husband was killed.
I was left alone.
We lived in New Jersey, right across the water from where the attacks took place.
We could smell the air, which was horrible.
And then we had the anthrax attacks and that happened in New Jersey and near Princeton.
And so it was a really scary time.
And then subsequent to that, when things started to maybe subside, where people sort of regained their sense of reality, we had the queue up to the war in Iraq.
And anyone who questioned anything about the attacks and how they could have happened and who could be behind them, you were silenced because we were a nation at war and it was unpatriotic.
to raise any questions, to question anything and to demand answers, certainly not allowed.
And so that sort of took, I think, quite a bit of years.
And now, believe it or not, I think for many of us, it's 25 years moving into the 25th year.
And I do not think that we've been told the truth.
I think as hard as we fought for a commission to try to learn the lessons, to try to understand better why and how the attacks happened, I think that commission was a whitewash.
I think it told a story, not the truth.
And there's a difference between a story and the truth.
And I think we're owed the truth as to what happened that day and why the country was attacked and why we did nothing in a defensive posture.
to even mitigate the damage on the day of 9-11.
It's bad enough when you look at the facts leading up to the day of 9-11 and you see the many instances of where things were sort of overlooked, facilitated in some situations,
But the day of 9-11 as well, there were failures, systemic failures that cost lives.
And so for me initially in the beginning, I was like, you know what, like we need to do better.
