@buildersmvt: Bush’s first pitch after 9/11 became a national statement. A little over a month after the attacks, President Bush took the mound at Yankee Stadium for Game 3 of the 2001 World Series. As he walked out, the crowd erupted in “USA” chants. For a few minutes, the fear and uncertainty gave way to something else: a packed stadium, a baseball game, and a country trying to find its footing again. Sometimes, showing up together is where rebuilding starts. #NeverForget #September11 #FYP #Throwback #Unity

I think it was a memorial ceremony shortly after 9/11...where Bette Midler sang "Wind beneath my wings". At that moment the whole world healed with her voice leading the way. But I do remember this as well.

Mama coco :

@Mama coco: When I grew up in New York democrats and Republicans were not bitter rivals. We all respected each other for our own opinions and views. I long for our children to get this chance to live in a country that is not divided with hate and bitter rivalry because in the long run we are all one as a nation🥰
