Instead of focusing on all the terrible things that came from the September 11th tragedy, Caleb Nation would like to take a moment and reflect on the good. In the months that followed 9/11, American banned together like it had never done before. It didn't matter if you were man or a woman, black or white, Yankee fan or Mets. It was enough that we were all American and we were all going through this together. There were thousands of people who came together to raise money, supply food for all the workers at the towers, or volunteer where ever they were needed. People in other states sent supplies, money or just card and letters sending their love and support.
It took a terrible, and devastating American attack to unite the country. There was an atmosphere that was both terribly sad and yet hopeful. Americans are resilient and full of fight. There has NEVER been a truer statement used than United We Stand, Divided We Fall. I am Proud to be an American and I am also proud of the Americans I am surrounded by. The people who lost their lives will never be forgotten. The brave Americans who took the plane back from the hijackers, losing their own lives in Pennsylvania, are a testament to this great country. No terrorist won that day. The small victory they thought they had secured was taken back by the fighting resolve of every American on that day.

I love how you focused on the good. I too remember all the flags and the wonderful sense of togetherness and just being an American.
Amen and very well said, Queen.
sometimes you have to find the positive in hard times or we may all get lost in our grief.
Excellent post. We should never forget the horror and tragedy of that day, but we should also always remember the unity and pride our country showed during that time. That spirit is the one we need to show every day. That is how we best honor those we lost.
i agree 100% Connie.
Well put Jenn.
Of all the acts on that day, the Pennsylvania flight stands in my mind as being beyond my knowledge in courage. I cannot imagine their terror and desire to live, yet they did what they felt had to be done. I am overwhelmed with humility when I think of them.
