September 11. 2001 — another day that will forever live in infamy — is an event and a place in time where we all remember where we were and what we were doing right then and there.
As Americans, our world had changed. As Americans, this was a wake up call. This told us our actions had consequences. This told the average American that there are those that would do us harm just for who we are and what we have built. 
Terrorism is meant to cause fear, and in that, the mission was accomplished by those who would do us harm. But something else that came out of it, was unity and a recognition that there are still heroes among us.
Let us not ever forget the innocents or heroes that have fallen that day, but let us also focus on the good: The unity, and the American way of life in which the only colors that matter — red, white and blue — and the community that helps one another as we all have struggles and need a hand sometimes.
Today — and every day, really — let us focus on what brings us together as Americans, and not what divides us. Let us illuminate common ground and march toward it. Let us help one another, because it’s the right and American thing to day.
Never forget.
