The main thing I think of every 9/11, is how the GOP has made degrading public servants...

...a lynchpin of their political operations.

Teachers = Evil
Fire Fighters = Evil
Policemen = Evil
Infrastructure Crews = Evil
...All Government Workers = Evil

All selfish moochers responsible for your life's problems.

And their idiotic base shouts Hallelujah.

She's still relatively new to the USA and absolutely adores fire fighters. And that's ok with me. She also thinks that construction workers are a-ok, especially the road crews.
Of course, she may have been getting a little bit of persuasion from the old man.
So it's apparent that a small child who hasn't been here for a year yet knows more about the USA than teabagger life long residents.
