While many of Americans are feeling grief for the events from 12 years ago, there are those of us that are proud to be part of all the events SINCE 9/11/2001. For my husband he remembers the anger he felt for the events and how he wanted to make a difference going forward. We have always remembered this: In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility — I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it — and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. ~ John F. Kennedy (January 20, 1961)
