I almost forgot why I love and respect this man so much, until I came across his 9/11 speech again.

That made me cry. Really cry. Especially the last bit... "The view from my apartment was the World Trade Center. But you know what it is now? It's the Statue of Liberty. The view from the South of Manhattan is now the Statue of Liberty. And you can't beat that."

I know, right? I mean, I saw it when it aired but everything seemed so profound then. This was lasting. I didn't mean to make people cry, but seeing it again I thought maybe others would appreciate his articulate and stunning commentary. :)
