The sixth anniversary of the World Trade Center disaster is fast upon us, and once again, it's time to pause and reflect on your life and what it means to you. Appreciate your surroundings and your country. Be good to family, friends, and the disadvantaged.Whether you agree or not that this event was a precursor to the ongoing war this country is presently involved in, take time each day to think about the loss of our young men and women called on to serve, and of those returned to us with broken bodies and minds. Think about the collateral strife to the many lives as a result of this war and give thought to the parents of these young warriors. Although difficult, try to understand what they as parents are going through, and hope they gain comfort in knowing their loss was not in vain if there is a positive outcome to this war. And no matter how difficult, remind yourself that not all Muslims are radical extremists.
Lastly, think about how you will live this day, for it may be your last.
