Day of Resolution
Not that I don't respect the media's attempts to portray the baffling spread of emotions inspired by the events of a year ago, but somehow I don't think they have it right.

In that light, allow me to suggest an alternative meme. We here in the South have been using it for quite some time now, but in my opinion it has outlived its usefulness in our context. Thus, although I cannot speak for all Southerners, speaking for myself I am more than willing to transfer "ownership" of this inspirational cry to the ongoing efforts to remember exactly what did happened on September 11, 2001, and to ensure that it will not happen again.

"Forget, Hell!"
