25 years after 9/11 and one year after Charlie Kirk’s death, America is remembering two very different tragedies — and asking a much bigger question: did we forget the lessons they were supposed to teach us?
In this video, Navy submarine veteran Ben Dykes reflects on the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death, political violence, national unity, citizenship, service, and what “Never Forget” should actually mean in America today.
This is not a comparison between 9/11 and Charlie Kirk’s death. They are completely different events. The larger question is what happens to a country when tragedy fades into history and the lessons that came with it begin to disappear.
Twenty-five years after the September 11 terrorist attacks, millions of Americans are now too young to remember that day firsthand. What responsibility do those of us who remember have to the next generation?
And one year after Charlie Kirk’s death, what does America need to relearn about political disagreement, free speech, and rejecting political violence?
Ben also shares lessons from his 20 years in the U.S. Navy submarine force about why the military remembers its losses, why institutional memory matters, and why forgetting hard-earned lessons can have consequences.
Never Forget shouldn’t just be a slogan. It should be a responsibility.
