Twenty years after 9\/11,More Than 2,700 U.S. Veterans Call For A New Investigation<\/u><\/b><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0By Roland Angle, PE. ( November 11, 2021 )<\/p>\n I am very proud and humbled by this opportunity to speak on behalf of the more than 2,700 U.S. military veterans who have signed the petition of Architects & Engineers for 9\/11 Truth calling for a new investigation into the destruction of the three World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001. It will be impossible for my words to adequately represent the motivations, desires, and commitment of the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our country and our freedoms, but it is my task to try.<\/p>\n Those of us who have served in our country\u2019s military forces have a unique perspective on the events of 9\/11. We know beyond the shadow of a doubt that the attacks on New York City and the Pentagon led directly to war and to the killing and maiming of our comrades-in-arms as well as millions of others in the Middle East. The chaos unleashed by this tragedy has reached into the lives of almost every one on the planet in the years that have gone by since the fateful day that divided history into\u00a0before9\/11 and\u00a0after\u00a09\/11. This knowledge weighs heavily on our conscience and requires us to act upon what we understand to be the truth of what lay at the cause of that war, which continues to this day.<\/p>\n Based on the forensic evidence amassed by AE911Truth and others in the 9\/11 Truth movement, the military veterans who have signed our petition are convinced that the true cause of the collapse of the three WTC skyscrapers was not the fires fed by jet fuel or office furnishings but, rather, planted explosives and incendiaries. Indeed, the evidence for controlled demolition is so convincing that we veterans are compelled to join together to seek the full truth of how those demolitions were carried out \u2014 no matter where that truth might lead us.<\/p>\n In return for our sacrifice, we are demanding an accounting from our government. We swore to defend our Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and we will not foreswear that commitment. Our government owes us the truth, and we will not surrender our right to that truth, no matter what the consequences. To do any less would be a betrayal of our duty.<\/p>\n As I read through the comments of our veteran petition signers, I see the same questions being asked again and again: What did we fight and sacrifice for? Were we lied to about 9\/11? If so, why? GIVE US THE TRUTH, NO MATTER HOW PAINFUL IT MIGHT BE. Our country owes its veterans that much \u2014 nothing more, nothing less. Do not insult us by calling us conspiracy theorists. We put our lives on the line for our country, and now we want the truth. We will not give up until we have it.<\/p>\n Every branch of our military \u2014 the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Marines, the U.S. Coast Guard \u2014 and hundreds of military occupations are represented by our petition signers. They have served in every conflict from World War II to the present day.<\/p>\n Here are the words of just a few of our courageous signatories:<\/p>\n \u201cTower 1 and tower 2 were professionally demolished. . . . Building 7 was, without contest, a controlled demolition. . . . Material evidence from 9\/11 should not have been destroyed. . . . Any emergency response plan following a suspected terrorist attack must take into account evidence storage. . . . I am mystified why . . . this was not done.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Kevin Bourgault, background in military explosives in Somalia and in training at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point<\/p>\n \u201cThe event has been used to justify . . . the gutting of Constitutional rights in America.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Peter Brand, former firing officer, Naval Weapons Laboratory, Virginia<\/p>\n \u201cWe need to fully investigate. In the words of Gen. George S. Patton, \u2018Do not take counsel of your fears.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Robert Eloi, U.S. Corps of Engineers (Ret.)<\/p>\n \u201cThose responsible will be held accountable for their actions.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Derek Evans, Operation Iraqi Freedom II veteran<\/p>\n \u201cWith every possible question . . . the gaping holes in the official story that was fed to the public by NIST become dreadfully clear. . . . A new investigation must be conducted in the face of such overwhelming evidence of controlled demolition.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 John Keidel, U.S. Army 13F-Fire Support Specialist (1999\u20132003), deployed to Iraq in 2003<\/p>\n \u201cThe visual evidence of the center core columns leaves no doubt those were shear charges that brought the buildings down.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Robert Kepka, 84-year-old WWII veteran<\/p>\n \u201cHow is it possible that a plane could destroy one of the world\u2019s largest buildings, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GROUND? That defies physics.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Neil Lattz, post-9\/11 Iraq War veteran<\/p>\n \u201cThe real conspiracy theory is that the laws of physics ceased to exist in New York City on September 11, 2001.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Lt. William Lawler (Ret.), 12-year veteran of the Military Intelligence Corps<\/p>\n \u201cAs an attorney, trained to gather and evaluate evidence, I know the official 9\/11 government reports are impossible to believe.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Robert Orr, U.S. Navy F-4 Phantom fighter pilot (1964\u20131970)<\/p>\n \u201cAs a citizen of the United States, I demand that the government which I pay taxes to reopen a professional investigation of the events on 9\/11\/01.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Cameron Smith, U.S. Army, Iraqi Freedom<\/p>\n \u201cI join with many, many others who do not believe the obviously flawed 9\/11 Commission Report in DEMANDING an independent, non-government investigation, with subpoena power, into the events and causes of the 9-11-01 disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 James Uhl, Col. (Ret.), U.S. Army, served in Viet Nam, Desert Storm, and Iraq<\/p>\n If we truly honor those who have served our country in the most profound way possible \u2014 risking their lives \u2014 we must join them in calling for a new investigation into the failure of the three high-rise buildings at the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001.<\/p>\n\n
