Take a Moment

It is hard to believe that it has been twenty years since 9/11.?As I heard one pundit say, “That is almost a generation ago.?It is turning from a memory to history for many people.”?The memories of that day remain fresh in my mind.?My mother calling us in Chicago and telling us what happened.?Spending the day with a business school friend whose brother perished in one of the towers.?Wondering if colleagues I had worked with that summer were OK.?

Despite all of our challenges, the United States remains a special place.?We have freedom to question our government.?We have freedom to debate each other.?We have opportunities others do not.?

Take a moment to remember the good about our society today.?Take a moment to do something good today.?Honor those that died on September 11, 2001.??

Memory to history. We will never forget 9/11.
