(sigh)September 11, 2001 is, I'm sure, a day none of us will forget. It's one of those dates that will forever stick in our minds, and we'll remember where we were when we heard the news of the terrorist attacks -- just as those of us who are old enough will remember where we were when we heard Kennedy was assasinated or when the space shuttle exploded. It was a history-making event of enormous magnitude.
There will be boat-loads of memorial tributes today, and they're worthwhile for sure. But as individuals we might be better served by shutting out the hype and just quietly reflecting for a moment about how fortunate we are to live in this country -- warts and all.
