I think that is a better tribute to those who lost their lives on 9-11 than all the media hoop-la going on.
I won't forget that day, and I don't need a multi-media show to keep me from forgeting.
On September 11th 10 years ago, it was quite clear to me that the world, my world, will never be the same as it was before. And 10 years ago, I felt that if we could bring the person or group who was responsible for these actions to justice, that things would somewhat return to normal...
...this summer, they finally got Osama Bin Laden. Unfortunately, it seems like such a hallow victory now. It won't bring back te people who died that day, and it certainly won't undo the destruction. We won't return to 'normal' - that is long gone... But at least that chapter in the tragedy can be closed.
So - what will I do? Go to church with my wife, do some schoolwork, and watch the Jets season opener. And spend some time quietly reflecting on being grateful for what I have...
-Z-man.
