A Remembrance with Chaplain (Col) Brett Charsky, Vermont National Guard - the role of the National Guard to ensure a safer world with compassion.

On September 11, 2021, marking twenty years since the tragic events of the World Trade Towers, in New York City; Shanksville, Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon, Washington, DC, the Grace Initiative Global organized a reflection, a remembrance of that day, and the subsequent US reactions. Chaplain Charsky gave a compelling discussion of how the trauma of that day still lingers.

The discussion was particularly poignant in view of the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the impact on civilians in that country. According to the Chaplain Charsky, he believe that women and girls had the chance for freedom to learn and to become educated, to participate in parliament, to own businesses and that this was indeed important for inclusive human dignity.
