Those who threw themselves into the walls and flames of danger for others are not simply heroes, but saints.

I don't believe we can stop terrorism, but I do think when signs are present of a possible terrorist attack, we must put up our defensive guards. I think a better question would have been, "Were there signs leading up to 9/11, and did our professional communicators, leaders, ect., take heed to those signs?

I think it's still better to focus on the strong national support of volunteers and rescue workers who gave their time, energy, and lives to help protect others.

I would like to share these words of comfort with the family members of 9/11 victims:

If they (the victims) were here with you, they would calm your fears and say that one life has ended, but a new life has begun. Their memories are with you always, and life has a rhythm that you must keep alive, you must keep hope and life flourishing within you. Never stop.
