I'm in NH visiting my family, and as always it's wonderful to spend time with them. I rode with my sister in law and niece to R's first ballet lesson of the season. As we rode, I saw so many flags at half mast.
Today all across America people are remembering that awful day 9 years ago. Facebook is full of posts about the sacrifices made, lives and innocence lost, etc. As many have said, we must never forget but we also must NOT let the memory of that day drive us to hatred, uninformed biases agains certain people(s), and the like.
I hope that this year and in all years to come we can focus on how blessed we are to live in a country that is diverse in so many ways; a country stronger because of our differences; a country that was founded on religious tolerance. Let's not dishonor our flag or the many who have sacrificed for our freedom by engendering intolerance and hatred.
