Ever Forgot

Whether it is healthy or not, or whether we wanted to or not, America has spent the better part of September remembering September 11, 2001.  We are asked to remember the victims and the heroes of the day and to reflect upon what it is to be American.  Maybe its time we move on, yearly speeches reflecting on the events of the past, serve only to distract us from the present.  Maybe it is time we briefly reflect upon the loss and then demand an America that is worthy of the lives lost.  Not just lives lost on 9/11 or in the decade of war that has followed but everyone who has served and died or served and lived since Lexington and Concord.  Those brave souls that have fought and stood by this nation, to ensure that this flawed experiment continues demand we do nothing less.
