Today made everything else seem trivial. Today I put all of my personal problems in perspective. Today, my personal problems are as insignificant as if they had been mere dust. Today, thousands of people lost their lives through no fault of their own and they had no control over it. Today began a new era in human life as it is currently known. Today, there is mourning. Today, there were no flights home. Today, there was fear. Today has enraged millions. Today, a super power was challenged, a population was terrorized and a nation was brought to its knees.

But let it be known that this nation will not fall.

Today, we are not a nation divided. Today, we are not black or white. Today, we are all Americans.
