Nearly four hours later, needing to clear my head, I decided to get back in my car and take a drive. My route brought me to that same highway, with that same bridge. Four hours later, the same man was still standing there, holding the flag up as high as he possibly could. I broke down.

Before he could put his plan into action, a 22-year-old Pennsylvania National Guardsman has been arrested and is in jail pending a $250,000 bail for threatening to assassinate Vice-President Mike Pence.

It has been fifteen years, and I still feel a seething rage and heartache over the events of that day, 9/11/2001.
