The attack on America on 9/11 was the most heinous assault against America in living memory. But the gift of that day was the way that Americans pulled together to help each other endure the most traumatic event most of us could ever imagine.
We need a day to honor that American Spirit that pulls us together in times of tragedy. We need to focus on what good came from all that pain. A day to remember those we lost, honor the first responders and express to the people we can't live without that we care about them that much.
