Nineteen years ago today, 2,977 innocent Americans were murdered by radical Islamic terrorists. Families today are still personally impacted by 9-11 and the war that followed.
Beau Wise was in high school when it happened, and immediately thought of his brother Ben who was already in the army. A few months later his other brother Jeremy left medical school to train for the Navy Seals. Beau himself joined the Marines a few years later and deployed to Afghanistan twice.
Ben died in an attack by Al Qaeda and Jeremy died in a firefight with the Taliban. Beau was prevented from going back to combat by the same Pentagon policy demonstrated in the movie "Saving Private Ryan."
