Personally, I don't believe that too much media attention can be placed on this event. 3,000 lives were lost on that day. Not since the Civil War have so many died in one day on American soil. Not since Pearl Harbor has such an evil, unprovoked attack taken place against America. The difference is that these Americans did not go to war or to their post that day. They went to work.
Perhaps we have seen the plane fly into the building, the Towers fall, the Pentagon on fire, and the crater left by the heroic acts of those on Flight 93 so often that we have become desensitized to it. Today has been a day of reflection and in many ways, at least for myself, a day to remember that for which we are fighting. It has been a day to remember why we must be vigilant to stand against those who would use senseless acts of terrorism such as these to strike against freedom.
Please forgive my rant, but it has been cathartic.
