Gymnastics Image of the Day - Mary Lou Retton
In honor of the 14th anniversary of 9/11, today's picture depicts a time of American joy and triumph: 1984 Olympic all-around gold medalist Mary Lou Retton, America's Sweetheart. She needed a perfect 10 on the vault in order to win the all-around competition and she did so, twice, thus becoming the first US woman to win the gold medal.
As we remember and honor those who lost their lives on that terrible day 14 years ago, let us also celebrate our country's greatest moments of triumph and joy. By doing so, we can show those who tried to destroy us that they cannot bring us down. #NeverForget
