Some People HATE Us...

Some people HATE us. They HATE that we're free to be religious or not. They HATE that we have a melting-pot country without genocide. They HATE our liberal arts. They HATE that we have the most selfless volunteer military in history. They HATE that we 'have a dream' and that we strive to reach it with unity and purpose! But friends, these things can only be taken from us if we allow the HATE that fueled 9/11 to infect our hearts with intolerance. That is our only true weakness as a people. So on this anniversary of a most HATEFUL act on American soil, let's renew the promise to ourselves to NEVER forget 9/11. Never forget the victims, the heroes, and the pain... and just as importantly never forget WHY!
