Remembering September 11, 2001

While we are remembering all those who were lost on this day, 5 years ago, I thought we should also remember this ...

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

And this ...

The Bill of Rights
Amendment I: Freedom of speech, religion, press, petition and assembly.
Amendment II: Right to bear arms and militia.
Amendment III: Quartering of soldiers.
Amendment IV: Warrants and searches.
Amendment V: Individual debt and double jeopardy.
Amendment VI: Speedy trial, witnesses and accusations.
Amendment VII: Right for a jury trial.
Amendment VIII: Bail and fines.
Amendment IX: Existence of other rights for the people.
Amendment X: Power reserved to the states and people.

A few days after, 9/11/06, I wrote up my recollections of the day. You can read them here ...
