IN MEMORY, AND IN HONOR, OF THOSE LOST, THOSE WHO SURVIVED AND THE INDOMINABLE AMERICAN SPIRIT

September 11, 2001 was one of america's most painful days . We mourn the loss of life. We honor those who endured. We believe that the American Ideal is still the brightest of lights to offer those shrouded in darkness and in need of hope.

As is often the case in life, from the angry and acrid events that unfolded on 9/11/01, came one of the most honorable and significant moments in television news.The nation was served. There is no higher compliment to offer journalists thrown into a blinding whirlwind of personal angst and professional obligation.

They did their jobs.
