I lost a half dozen friends who were merely going about their jobs when the plane struck. You ever go to a half dozen funeral in a short period of time? Maybe once or twice a decade, but 6 in two months? 9-11 was not just for the relatives of those who died, but for the living who are just as tighly tied to the scenes....and I WILL NEVER FORGET. That is the pledge I made to my lost friends. It won't be just a moment in time, to be forgotten; to be passed over; to just Move On. Not now! Not ever. I say bring on the ads focusing on the response to 9-11! Its not the barbaric acts of terrorism I want to remember. Its the heroic deeds, attitudes and responses in the aftermath that uplift me. I have NO desire to crawl on hands and knees to foreign governments or the UN asking forgiveness and pledging to mend my ways. I don't need GOODWILL....not that I don't like it, but you have to earn MY goodwill also. Yeah, I'm a 9-11 family. I didn't qualify physically for all the government and NGO handouts...but I did qualify emotionally for the right to support retribution ... and it shall come on EAGLE's wings.
