I want you to ask yourself two questions today.

Based on everything you have seen President Bush say and do in the last five years, do you think he has felt one single moment of compassion for the victims (as you and I understand the term, not as Tony Snow or Scott McClellan might define it)?

What do you think you can do, today and in the future, to honor the memory of the victims and the heroes?

And I want you to make yourself a promise.

Whatever you came up with for the second question, promise yourself that you will do it.

Whatever our government does, or claims it is doing, or doesn’t do, to fight terrorism, this is how you and I can fight it. And who is to say that in the ultimate analysis our efforts will not be more important than the government’s?
