Speaker shares his experience at Aberdeen City Hall
SUMMARY: A crowd gathered in Aberdeen, Mississippi, to remember the lives lost in the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Monroe County Supervisor Rubel West, who served in Iraq as an officer in the Mississippi Army National Guard, emphasized the importance of unity. He called for a restoration of the unity that was present in the aftermath of the attacks, stating that divisiveness is still prevalent 22 years later. West stressed the need for public servants who prioritize serving the people rather than self-service. He encouraged finding common causes and working together for greater accomplishments.
