A 9/11 message from Obama's Inauguration Poet

You may remember Richard Blanco from the unbelievable poem he gave at Obama's second inauguration. https://www.democraticunderground.com/10022229950

He is back with a wonderful tribute to 9/11

Full disclosure, Richard is an old associate of mine. He is a true Renaissance Man going from being an Engineer to a nationally recognized poet.
