It's not lost on me that a significant number of people we talk to every day only know of 9/11/01 by what they have read or heard, or seen on network news shows. I want them to know that there has never been such a feeling in the nation during my lifetime, and also, shortly after, came a spirit of resolve and unification. People actually let others go ahead of them in the grocery line! People paid attention to each other, offered solace and encouragement, and shared feelings and thoughts.
We actually entered a time of gearing up for war and gearing up for peace at the same time. All these years later, things are still turbulent, but if that horror was something we could overcome, there can't be many things we can't.
