Subject: IMO yes, the United States has stood together and strong through this ordeal. With 09/11, we realized that we are not invulnerable and that we could easily be destroyed. In fact we were destroyed. People from everywhere have comforted myself and my family and I believe we now realize that although we have our problems, we still enjoy so many freedoms that other countries can only dream of. I will never forget how NY and the country have pulled together and I truly hope that it lasts and we can end hatred. American sare proud and we are courageous and most of all we do not hide in caves.
