This 9/11 Survivors Thoughts On This Day

...................

One of the biggest things that really bothered me about the Bush admin. was it's cynical use of 9/11. The way they used it as a shield and a club. They used it for everything, from starting wars to awarding tax breaks. It's so refreshing that Obama has not done this and that gives me hope.

Yeah. That's it. That's the big one. Hope. And pride. Pride that we have competent leaders again that want to accomplish things and are capable of doing so.

So on this day, another historic day, I remember. Yes, I remember my own personal story, but there's much, much more important things to remember today. The brave men and women who died that day trying to save others for one. We also need to remember how the tragedy was used so cynically in their name and never allow that to happen again. But we also need to remember how we as a nation came together as one and forgot our differences. So I have hope. Hope that we can do that again, but this time to create, not destroy.

So this chapter is closed and a new one opens. Let it be the chapter of effective, competent government that works towards building, not destroying.
