Check out Rosebud’s Dance Band in the Comma Coffee Courtyard, or head to El Charro Avita for High Sierra Swing Dance Club’s weekly night out.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-2) today released the following statement on the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks:

“There is a commemorative license plate in Nevada featuring the words ‘United We Stand’ and ‘We Will Never Forget.’ On this 13th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, my thoughts and prayers continue to go out to the 2,977 victims whose lives were mindlessly taken by evil men in the name of radical Islam.

My thoughts after hearing the song –
“Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning”
9.11
Where I Was (When the World Stopped Turning)
That September Day

That Tuesday morning my girls rushed to school
With a wave as they ran out the door
I turned on the TV to Good Morning America
Didn’t notice as my coffee hit the floor

As I stood there in shock thinking this can't be real
The screams and the flames how they grew
And then through the smoke a camera focused in
As a plane hit Tower #2

All my worst fears were filling the screen
I didn’t know what I should do first

“Four thousand faces of American military who had perished in Iraq stared at me,” said former Western Nevada College professor Don Carlson. “I realized that this war has been perhaps one of the most impersonal wars the U.S. ever fought.”

In 2008, the army veteran saw a Roster of the Dead, then totaling 4,000. He explains that with the all-volunteer military, more than in any previous war, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have been remote to the vast majority of Americans. Impersonal.
