9/11 and "Star Spangled Banner"

We live in a time right now where it is very easy to find the differences and negatives that divide us as a country. The media plays a big role in reporting the bad. Rarely do we celebrate the good we do for each other and all the things we have in our favor. But sometimes it takes a tragedy to unite and put the superficial things on hold. Although I wasn't old enough to recall and truly experience the horrors of 9/11, the recounts and stories told by people during that time have enough power to express the emotions. Mass lives were lost and our freedom and way of life were attacked. But you find out what a person and society is like during the tough times, not just the good. And the people of America came together and supported each other. The needs and wants of people were put aside for the better of others and society as a whole. We rebuilt as a nation and never forgot that horrible day. But that is in danger of going to waste when politicians and people can't come together for the better of each other.
