Maj Alea Nadeem Thank you for sharing your frist-hand experience with that day in September 2001 and how blind we as a people (American People with all types of ethnic backgrounds) can be when something like this happens. I had many Arab American employees and one Director of Operations in Chicago that was from Iraq and it never crossed my mind to lash out or be mad at any of those great Americans. I enjoyed everything you shared and I'm so grateful for your service to this country Alea! May we never forget those we lost on that day and those who sacraficed Post 911 in service of our country.

This right here is truly amazing! I think we often forget that the war on terror is NOT the war against the Muslim faith. For many, I'm sure they were just as confused, lost and pissed off as everyone else but as highlighted in this article, were silenced by the hate.

This article serves as a beautiful reminder that 9/11 impacted countless people.

It’s easy to forget when so many people present it as such, or want it to be such.

On both sides...

All of us who served (and are old enough) remember exactly where we were that day. I never really thought about how some of us who served were treated like the enemy at that same moment. Thanks for the valuable perspective Maj Alea Nadeem and for all you do / have done in service to our country.
