I know it’s been all over the media, and maybe if you’re lucky you even talked about it with friends or coworkers today, but it’s worth presenting a photo such as this one by mlancaster3361 to reflect and think about what happened on that sunny morning five years ago. Where has the time gone, and more importantly, where has the patriotism and feeling of togetherness that was immediately created gone? We’re back to the same old antics of bickering, party politics, and each person for themselves.

I think we’ve learned that our homeland isn’t quite as safe and isolated as it once seemed, but I still have an overall belief that we live in the greatest country on earth. Let’s do everything we can to keep it that way.
