Here’s to the men and women who perished or were injured in the horrible attacks seven years ago.

Here’s to the people who tried to help on that terrible day and in the days that followed.

Here’s to the people left behind, still trying to move on and make things better.

Here’s to anyone who recognizes the root problems and tries to tackle them transparently and fairly.

Here’s to you: take this opportunity to do some good today.

Build a bridge, have a conversation, be supportive.

Choose again. (from The Rise of Endymion by Dan Simmons).
