Remember
Let's go back five years. Back before the divisiveness. Back before the ill-advised wars. Back before the use of the worst attack on our nation as a political wiffle ball bat. Back before most of the world knew who the fuck Bin Laden was.
Let us go back to 9/11. And let us remember the lost.
I've already told my story. I said it was stupid at the time, but it's not. It's how we all felt that day. Helpless. Lost. Like we were trapped in a goddamned nightmare.
No matter what happens in the next five years, no matter how many times the day is mined for political gold... remember the men and women. Not the deed.
It is the least we can do.
