to this point, i consider sept 11, 2001 to be the worst and best day of my life. i had no idea what was actually happening at teh time, yet i was surrounded by an overwhelming care and love for our fellow human beings.
it was certainly a scary day, to live through the first successful terror attack on US soil is something that none of us shoudl ever forget. but it was also a great tribute to the american spirit and our sense of national pride to know that we all stepped up and gave what we could for each other.
it may have taken a time of desperation, but it proved that we, the american people, really are living in the greatest coutry in the world. that is the only reason everyone moves here, and the only reason that the extremists hate us so much. because we have more to look forward to than they do.
