Remembering 9/11
For some reason today, I turned on the TV and flipped over to Fox News. The same station I was watching on September 11th, 2001. The were replaying the video and events as they happened on that day. I was captivated by the images, because I had seen them before and because I felt the same emotions I felt before. What was most revealing was that it was all on TV for me. I had no connection to the events in any way. I didn’t know anyone that died in the attacks. Watching Fox News made me as furious as I felt back in 2001.
However, instead of focusing on the evil in the world, as a society we found light and beauty with the heroic acts of ordinary Americans caught up in the details. The passengers of Flight 93. The NYC Firefighters and Police. The contributions of donors. The tireless work of the construction crews at ground zero.
I’m just going end this by saying thank you to every American for rising to the occasion.
