As a born and bred New Yorker (Staten Island) with ties to the city even in my Jersey exile. With friends whos wives I hugged at funerals. Or whos fathers have buried children. I give my utmost respect and rememberance to the 246 people on board the planes, 2606 that died in the WTC and surrounding areas, due to falling debris, and people jumping from windows, and the 125 from the Pentagon.

Props to all the emergency responders who sacrificed their personal lives to help out in the aftermath. (Only to have Congress, not approve a bill to help these people with medical care from all the dust they inhaled, and Yes I mean R's, but wish not to start a partisan pissing contest.)

Our politicians will pay in time, but for now it is about remembering the dead, and the true American unity that the aftermath represented. For at least a few months, Fellow Americans didn't want to kill one another.
