Yes. #Symptoms can appear years later because the NervousSystem may store threat responses long after the original danger has passed. Adult #relationships, relationships with #children, grief, #trauma, or the #environment can trigger the memory. This is a very common experience and this experience can be treated with the right care.

What is childhood #traumais a traumatic experience for a child if the #child #experiences the #experience as #unsafe, #terrified, #trapped, or unprotected. Normal Stress is #temporary for a child and can be resolved with the help of a #caregiver. However, if the child has experienced stress and the safety has returned, stress can help the child build effective coping strategies. The body can hold the experience of trauma and can experience the stress response long after the threat has passed.

“One appropriate way to remember is by serving,” says Jay Winuk, who lost his brother Glenn Winuk and then co-founded the volunteer organization 9/11 Day with friend David Paine. The group helps people find meal-packing and other volunteer #opportunities, and this year arranged for dozens of Times Square billboards to pause their advertising at 9:11 a.m. on Friday.

—the latter #Washington’s longest war—and detentions and harsh interrogation of terror suspects in an #international network of secret #CIA prisons. The U.S. #military found and #killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in #Pakistan in 2011, but accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed still awaits a trial 23 years after his capture.
The attacks changed U.S. air travel, prompted new federal #surveillance and intelligence-gathering powers and #banking #regulations, and generated ongoing debate over the balance between security and freedom. The Department of Homeland Security, many state anti-#terrorism laws and billions of dollars in state and local #counterterrorism funding all are post-9/11 creations.
So, too, is the culture of #individual vigilance summed up by the slogan “ if you see something, say something.”

Traditionally, there are no #political speeches at the #NewYork #commemoration, where relatives read all the #victims’ names, punctuated with moments of silence at key points in the #attack timeline. For the first time, this year’s ceremony will add a silent moment to honor #people who were exposed to the clouds of #toxic dust released by the twin towers’ fiery #collapse and have since died of cancer and other #illnesses. Questions remain about how many people developed health problems linked to the dust.
It’s a reminder of how the attacks’ long shadow has reached into many corners of life in the U.S. and beyond.

On Sept. 11, 2001, #al-Qaida #terrorists hijacked four commercial jets and crashed them into New York’s World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
The impacts brought down the World Trade Center’s twin towers—icons of U.S. economic power, and among the tallest buildings on #Earth—and blew a hole in the Pentagon, the U.S. #military’s fortress-like headquarters near #Washington.
The fourth plane also was headed for the nation’s capital, officials concluded, but the #aircraft went down in #Pennsylvania after passengers and crew members stormed the cockpit and fought the hijackers.
“In the course of #history, there are a few moments that divide time into, really, what came before and after”, #President Donald Trump said at a 9/11 remembrance in Washington this week. The Republican, who was in his native New York on Sept. 11 and has often recounted his memories, plans to attend the Pentagon’s anniversary ceremony on Friday.

He didn’t make it home.
Casey Kloepfer was only 4, but he grew up hearing about his father’s affinity for helping #people and for a #job that enabled him to do so. He became an officer this past June.
“It’s big footsteps to fill, but it’s definitely something that I take very seriously and want to continue to honor him and be the best police officer I can,” he said by phone this week. The 29-year-old wears his father’s badge number and even has joined the #NewYork #PoliceDepartment lacrosse team, which his dad founded.

Lessons For #America
American prisons face powerful #racial, #criminal and #ideological gangs of many kinds. Nevertheless, the danger of #Islamist #recruitment is not #theoretical.
Kevin James founded the radical #Islamic organization Jam’iyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh inside a #California prison and recruited other inmates. Members later plotted #attacks against U.S. #military #facilities, #synagogues and Israeli targets. The #FBI has previously warned that radical inmates, #extremist #religious teachers and #propaganda can exploit prisoners searching for identity and purpose.

Its intensive Prison Fellowship Academy emphasizes #responsibility, #integrity, #productive #work,# community and #restoration. #Prisoners are challenged to confront the thinking that led to their crimes, understand the damage #inflicted upon #victims and begin making different choices.
One movement offers power over others. The other teaches service to others.
One tells prisoners to identify an #enemy. The other commands them to love their enemies.
One can use fear to produce outward #submission. #Christianity calls for voluntary #repentance and an inward #transformation that only #JesusChrist can #accomplish.
Most importantly, the #Gospel does not tell a prisoner that his crimes were society’s fault or that #violence against #unbelievers can restore his honor. It tells him that he is #guilty—but not beyond redemption. He must #repent, accept #responsibility and receive a #forgiveness he could never earn. That forgiveness then becomes the foundation for a transformed life.
