It was terrible and tragic and it was a moment that will remain etched in our country\u2019s history forever. It was a moment that redefined the trajectory of the entire world and will continue to shape the future for decades to come. 9\/11 was a moment that changed everything for the entire world. And it\u2019s a moment that is engrained in the DNA of Righteous Media.<\/p>\n<p>Host and founder Paul Rieckhoff (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulRieckhoff\">@PaulRieckhoff<\/a>) was there at Ground Zero on 9\/11. <a href=\"https:\/\/thefirefighters.us\/\">The Firefighters Podcast with Rob Serra<\/a> host Rob Serra (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/serrarob\">@SerraRob<\/a>) was there at Ground Zero on 9\/11. They saw the horror first hand. They were there to witness it in person. The scale. The depth. The scope of it all. And while the rest of us watched in shock on TV, they were there, helping, scrambling through the wreckage trying to find survivors. Trying to find anything.<\/p>\n<p>It was as horrible as things can be and no one should ever have to endure what they saw that day. But we can never forget. And part of that never forgetting is the requirement we all have to not look away from the ugliness. To not look away from the horror. If we hope to truly honor the sacrifice of those we lost, and those we continue to lose, we can not ignore the horror. We must truly never forget.<\/p>\n<p>So at least here \u2014 at <em>Independent Americans <\/em>and all of the shows produced by Righteous Media \u2014 we will never look away. We will never forget. We will honor those sacrifices and we will share the stories of the heroes that survived and the heroes that didn\u2019t. Never forget is more than just a hashtag at Righteous Media. It\u2019s what we do. It\u2019s who we are. Join us.<\/p>\n<p>Every episode of <a href=\"https:\/\/independentamericans.us\/\"><em>Independent Americans<\/em><\/a> with Paul Rieckhoff (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulRieckhoff\">@PaulRieckhoff<\/a>) breaks down the most important news stories\u2013and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.
