I've been reading about the various September 11 observances, and wondering how to observe the day myself. I'm reminded of Lincoln's words in the Gettysburg Address:
But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.
A group called One Day's Pay is encouraging everyone to set aside part of the day to "help others in need."
It is only my poor power, but at least I can try to add and not detract.
