Now for speeches from some family members of 9/11 victims. Deena Barrett up now, whose husband was on the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. He called her from the plane. He told her he was putting together a plan to take back the cockpit.

"What they did was a testament to courage and the American spirit." She's having a hard time making it through her speech. Very moving. If I hear anyone bitching about, "Exploiting 9/11 for political gain," I'll likely have to punch them in the face.

Her message is that it's our responsibility as citizens to "do something" whether serving in the military or in the community, to help out our fellow Americans. This isn't about politics, it's about remembering what it means to be an American.

Update: Debra Burlingame speaking now. Her husband was pilot of the plane that hit the Pentagon. It's worth noting that these people aren't talking about Bush, Republicans, or anything else partisan.
