We've survived a difficult year, one we'll never forget, a year fraught with economic recession, tragedy, and war.

But 2001 was also a year of change, of patriotic rebirth, a year of lessons learned, a year that made us think about what's truly important.

We were reminded about how dear our family and friends are and how meaningful they make our lives.

We learned that we should be thankful for the time we have together, and for our many blessings.

And we learned that, united, we're strong!

So as we take the lessons of 2001 into the new year, let's deign to make it the best year ever!

Let's make 2002, a year of peace and goodwill, of prosperity and growth, of healing and hope, a year that shines as bright as the brightest star.
