Seventeen years ago on Sept. 11, several acts of terrorism of horrific proportions was played out upon America.

I take offense with the publishing house of Simon & Schuster.

The offense is not in publishing Bob Woodward’s new book, “Fear: Trump in the White House,” it is with the timing of the book’s release — the anniversary of 9/11 should stand alone in the people’s collective memory, not with a book riding on the feverish coattails of disbelief, pain and high emotions.

As a proud American and patriot, I feel that Sept. 11 should be devoted only to the remembrance of the victims of the terrorist attacks. Anything less is unconscionable.
