It's already 9/11 in Afghanistan. Among the several hundred news articles that pass on the Leftist meme that the U.S. hasn't really accomplished anything after 9/11, I did find one from Reuters reporting from Afghanistan.

Of course, it wouldn't be al Reuters if halfway into the article they cut away from it to remind readers that the U.S. hasn't really accomplished anything after 9/11 in Afghanistan.

Here's how our soldiers in Afghanistan are remembering the day that changed the world. God bless them, every one. Reuters:

U.S. forces in Afghanistan held a solemn ceremony on Saturday to mark the fourth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, remembering those who died then and in the U.S.-led war on terrorism that followed.

Several hundred servicemen and women gathered in a huge hanger-like tent at Bagram air base, on a sun-baked plain north of Kabul, for a service that began with a brief video of the hijacked aircraft attacks four years ago.

"I'm here, my fellow soldiers are here, because of those attacks. They are with us always," said Sergeant Rick Scavetta, from Hartford, Connecticut.....

small choir sang God Bless America and officers read passages form the bible on courage, honour, freedom, sacrifice and faith at the Saturday service.

"Being here in conjunction with 9/11 means a lot to me, it was a very tragic event, but we're here on a mission to root out terrorism and to ... let freedom prevail," said Sergeant Allison Anderson, from Tacoma, Washington.

Asked about U.S. losses in Afghanistan this year, she said: "When we put this uniform on we're aware of the sacrifices that we have to make".

"Today is not only a day to remember the 9/11 attacks but also to remembers all of our comrades who have fallen in battle over the last four years," said Scavetta.
