The NFL season officially began this Thursday night in Green Bay when the Packers played the Saints at Lambeau Field. But most people consider the season open come NFL Sunday. And this year, the first NFL Sunday happens to be on September 11. It also happens to be the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Centers in New York City. This Thursday night's game featured the national anthem and a sight to behold from the fans in the stadium:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_5rETXK1KU. This got me thinking about national pride and how our country has responded since that day 10 years ago. This led me to think about how the economy has responded as well. I've provided a link that talks about various things from the price of gas to the number of airline employees. As a general consensus, the economy has suffered since 9/11 but as you can see our spirit has just gotten stronger.
