In Memory 9/11

"Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong."
- James Bryce

It has been six years since the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. As we remember those that were lost on this day and since, as we mourn them, we must also look deeply at ourselves and ask if we are living up to the sentiment expressed above. It is not my intention to turn this blog into a political forum, and I am not here to throw stones at any one. It seems to me, however, that this country is in constant need of re-evaluation. We are the super power of the world, we are the leaders of the free world, we are, and always have been, the champions of democracy on the globe. We must strive, through the leaders that we choose for ourselves and the causes that we champion, to be compassionate as well as powerful, righteous as well as strong, fair as well as brave.

It is my hope as we move forward in this new millenium that we will all make choices everyday that contribute to a better tomorrow.

Food for Thought: Remember...We are the change that we hope to see in the world.
