National Day of Service and Remembrance

It may be slightly unwieldy a name, but wouldn't it be better for everyone if September 11 were remembered in this spirit, instead of the distinctly parochial, closed, mailed-fisted spirit lurking just behind "Patriot Day"? If Americans would forget their wrath which has brought so much more disquiet and suffering to the world, and recall instead the noble deeds that allowed them to prevail, and then remember, in humility, that they are scarcely alone in their suffering?
