This is one of my favorite pictures of all time. It was taken by Thomas E. Franklin of The Record in Bergen County, N.J. I remember the first time I saw it I really needed to see a picture like this. It came after two days of seeing the unthinkable became reality. My eyes teared up and I was proud to be a member of my country. I felt relief, knowing there were people out there who carried on in the face of despair. I felt grim determination to keep on doing whatever good I could wherever I was. And I knew that I would never look at life in the same way again. Thank you, whoever you are. Thank you, Mr. Franklin.
