On this day I remember. On this day we were neither Christian or Muslim, black or white, gay or straight, liberal or conservative, democrat or republican. On this day we were united in our grief...in the comfort we offered one another as we grieved as a nation, as nations grieved with us.

We are all human. We shed the same tears, our blood runs the same be you friend or foe. To honor those who have laid down their lives, involuntarily or voluntary, past or present, let us renew our resolve to first see our common bonds, to embrace our differences and love more and hate less to make this a better place. Let us do these things so that those who have died may not have done so in vain.

Extraordinary situations call for extraordinary actions by ordinary people....to take action not because it is easy, but because it is inherently the right thing to do. Let the legacy of 9/11 be about love, healing, recovery and embracing the strength we share when we come together as one, united through all humankind.
