Always remember, each day.

I am treating today the same as any other day in my life. I always remember 9-11-2001, just the same as I remember the first gulf war, the space shuttle explosion, the attempted assassination attempt on Reagan, the uni-bomber, my friend getting medevaced and trying to help him lead a normal life again, my father passing away, my first marathon, etc.
I refuse to live my life being scared that something could happen, since each day shows everyone just how many things do happen. Always remember the things that shaped the family, the country, yourself. If you simply 'don't forget' sometimes we tend to easily forget to remember the things that impacted and changed us the most.
