We all know what happened on that fateful day and atrocities committed against innocent people. However, I choose to remember it for something good.
I remember being in Pacific Beach, San Diego on September 11th, around 9 pm. There were American flags everywhere and a ton of people outside. Everyone was either sitting quietly on the street curb in deep thought or talking. There were candles everywhere. Cars driving by with American flags sticking from the windows, honking like crazy.
I have never seen anything like that. The entire nation came together. There were no longer political parties, rich or poor, black or white. At that instant everyone was simply an American. A beautiful site to behold indeed.
Today I will a grab a beer in memory of all of those innocent people who lost their lives. Irregardless of your views on the subject matter, I suggest you do the same.
