Outside the NY/NJ metropolitan area, commemorations of the Islamist attacks against Americans on September 11, 2001 are few and far between. Most focus on the firefighters and first-responders lost in the attacks. But where is the teaching opportunity, 16-years later, of the Islamist imperialism the West must defend itself against?

A revealing conversation with L.A. millenial actress, Grace Bannon, visiting the 9/11 Memorial at the World Trade Center in 2014- about what her generation has been taught about jihadism- and what the 9/11 Memorial Museum teaches (or doesn't) about the threats against democracy from it.

"During National Days of Prayer and Remembrance, our Nation recalls the nearly 3,000 innocent people murdered on September 11, 2001. As we reflect on our sorrow and our grief, we come together to pray for those who lost loved ones," Trump said. "As a Nation, we pray that the love of God and the comfort of knowing that those who perished are forever remembered brings them peace and gives them courage."In Trump's declaration that Friday through Sunday be dedicated to prayer and remembrance of those who died in the attacks, the president referred to the "Survivor Tree" at the World Trade Center site in Manhattan.

The Survivor Tree, a Callery pear tree, was discovered in the days following the attacks with "snapped roots and burned and broken branches," according to the memorial website. The tree was placed in the care of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, rehabilitated, and later returned to the memorial in 2010.
Monday, Sept. 11, in accordance with a 2001 law, will be Patriot Day in tribute to those who died in the attacks, and also to first responders and members of the American armed forces. (source)
