Never Forget

On this day 11 years ago, America became a very different place.  In the aftermath, we became more hardened and more willing to fight.  But my hope is that with all the evil that Osama bin Laden brought to us on that terrible morning, he got what he never expected.  The US didn't back down.  We didn't bow down in the face of tragedy.  And most of all we didn't become like those that hurt us.  We became more loving,  more ready to help and more courageous.  First responders, Red cross workers and ordinary people became national heroes on that day.

While he took our loved ones, he was never able to take that courage.
