I devote today to remembering the strength and courage of our country 10 years ago, from the first responders to the heroes on Flight 93 to the support networks throughout the country, and celebrating the friendships of here and now. We all have our own stories and connections, but ultimately, as 9/11/01 taught us, this country is family, and that should trump all of the outlandish hatred and politics and injustice that sometimes perseveres. The best way to honor those who lost or risked their lives is to try our absolute hardest to help those who need help and look out for one another.
