I grew up with my grandmother not exactly celebrating, but remembering, my mother’s death. Early August was her annual depression, her anniversary depression. I grew up knowing that it was coming, and being forced to wallow in the pain of it. I don’t like anniversary depressions and I refuse to participate in this one. 9/11 has come again, and we are still here. We are still America. We are still the home of the brave and land of the free. Don’t let anyone take that away from you, from us. Remember who you are. Who we are as a people. Don’t let the terrorist take away who we are, and don’t let other American’s take away who we are. The terrorist do it with fear, and the American politicians do it with fear, too. Remember what Thomas Jefferson said, “The man who would choose security over freedom deserves neither.”
