Today, ten years later. You probably remember where you were then, and how it felt. The question is, how are you and me and we, different than on September 11, 2001. And are we different now, from how we were on September 12? Somebody took a swing at us. They hit us, but they didn't knock us down. And its not so much about hitting them back, but about defending who we are and what we stand for. And by that, I mean what we all share in common as Americans. Not what we argue and fuss about.
My youngest daughter is too young to remember that day. She knows about it, but she didn't experience it like I did. But she, and her kids, and beyond, depend on a soldier, firefighter, policeman, neighbor; just like we do. We need to pass it down, and keep it front and center, just like we did on September 12, 2001.
Thank a soldier or police or fireman. Do a good deed. Remember that there is more that binds us together, than separates us. There is a reason for it...
