Does this really need a thread? Don't get me wrong; I admire the bravery and sacrifice of the first responders. My father was one of the first responders to 9/11. He literally got a call on the radio, hopped in the car and drove off to NYC where he spent days rescuing people from rubble and dust. It was a sad day. I was 6 years old when I saw this on tv. I remember watching the clouds of dust billow through the streets, consuming the buildings in darkness. I remember asking my mom if my best friend was gonna be ok (She lived in NYC at the time and visited on summers.) Yes, what happened today 13 years ago was a tragedy. Yes, this horrible event will likely be in history books for years to come... but dwelling on the past isn't going to change anything. We've rebuilt. We've responded to the attacks (due to political debate on such a hot topic, I'm going to keep my opinion on this to myself.) I'm not saying that we should forget 9/11. I'm saying that we, as a nation, need to move on and make sure this never happens again.
