9/11 Speech The idea of writing a speech on the aftermath of 9/11 was initially frustrating‚ I froze. At first glance‚ seven years just didn’t seem to carry much reverence. However‚ the more I wrestled with the idea‚ the more I began to realize how flawed this way of thinking might be.

Everyone in this room can remember the exact time and place
