September 11, Marking a Time for Reflection | |||||||||||
Although it is still hard to find the right words, on the advent of the first anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, we join the nation in remembrance. We still mourn for the irreparable emptiness suffered by those who lost loved ones, family, colleagues, friends. Yet intertwined we feel an ineffable and deep thanksgiving for those who did survive and for all brave enough to find the courage to go on and find a way to rebuild. Looking back, we can feel great pride in reactions and actions of our profession, our components, and our professional colleagues. Hats off to the AIA New York Chapter; her members have proven their mettle in countless deeds of good will and public good. Looking ahead to the rebuilding, we all have a publicly mandated duty to keep on giving our best. In our hearts, we know we can and we shall.
