And in the midst of vast despair and destructionMichael Morse from last year…Beyond comprehension in its scope
It was a picture of three firefighters raising a flag
That gave America hope.
I learned an important lesson that day and the weeks and months to follow. The people we are sworn to protect are worth protecting. We stood together as a nation like nobody could have dreamed possible. We remembered what it meant to be Americans; we stood together, cried together and together have moved forward. Racial and economic divisions didn’t matter, differing political philosophies were irrelevant.This notice made at 9:57 am -- seven years to the minute when Islamist terrorists lost the initiative in the war they started.In a many ways we’ve returned to our pre-911 mindset, and that is unfortunate, but the togetherness and resolve that existed then still resides in all of us, and comes to the surface when necessary. I know it’s there, I remember, and that is what keeps me going.
