13 years. 8 years to build Freedom Tower. 5 to clean out Ground Zero enough to begin again. We will never forget.
On that day, we collectively reached out, hugged each other, grieved our losses and came back.
So, while we pause and remember what was taken from us that day, remember this: we are a scrappy country that won independence from the greatest military power on earth 200 years ago - and our army was built of nothing but farmers and immigrants.
We might not always get along with each other, but we are ONE nation. A scrappy, determined nation.
Ain't nothing gonna keep us down.
