It's good to see that today, even the major political candidates are stopping their campaigning to remember this day.  It's important to remember that each of us was affected by that day 7 years ago, and that we all have the same goal of never letting it happen again.

We may disagree on how best to accomplish that goal... and we may disagree on the effectiveness of other people's ideas in that regard, but the souls lost on that day demand more of us than petty bickering.

Take time to remember today, and also be mindful that you don't need a special day to remember either.
