Our country has changed so much since then in ways that we now take for granted. But, in that change, let’s not forget the events of the day.
We all remember where we were. I was a doctor driving to work, and, as a doctor, I want to particularly remember the families who lost loved ones, the memory of those lost, and my fellow health care personnel—the nurses, the techs, the doctors—who responded on the day of, and then responded in the months and years after, helping to restore lives, to rebuild lives, that had been shattered by a tragic event.

Never forget our enemies.
