They’re grieving for themselves and the way America was.”

I agree with your opinion. I’ve said something similar under other circumstances. Thanks for an insightful post. Blessings

It is a huge and multifaceted topic. Grief takes time for the person and the country. 9/11 profoundly affected this country. Many of our right and liberties have been taken away in the name of security. Look at the Patriot act.

The best security we have is love and respect. We have to teach ourselves and and our young. When we can love and respect each other world wide, then there will never be another 9/11 or Newtown.

But I think we all know of the 9/11 attacks. I can still remember where I was that day, when I first found out. It was such a shock!

Lovely description of the memorial. It sounds fitting.

This is a really wonderful essay.
