The title alone gives you the description of what the heroes are, abandoned. That pulls at your emotions right for the reason that no one likes to be abandoned. When 9/11 happened, we mourned for the those who had lost loved ones. As the story unfolded we felt feelings of invasion, anger, hurt, sadness, and fear all from one day of events. On the contrary, we also felt more unified as a country and hung our flags with pride.
