A few months back, the writer of the article, E.J. Montini, received a letter from a reader who was describing the difficulties of living through the pandemic. He related how his 18-year-old son was going off to college not knowing whether he would be able to move into a dorm or participate in sports or even leave his parents' house.
"This pandemic is his generation's 9/11," the man wrote.
Except, it's not.
My parent's generation, the WW II one, recognized a common enemy and came together to defeat it.
Likewise, with 9/11, Americans of all personal and political persuasions united in sorrow and and in resolve against those who attacked us.
It isn't that way now.
