Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are scheduled to make their first promotional appearances for the final Twilight film, Breaking Dawn-Part 2,  later this month. This announcement follows numerous reports that the stars are reportedly "spending a lot of time together" following Stewart's cheating scandal with Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders two months ago.

 The latest installment to the popular franchise premieres in November, and with that includes the promotional tour schedule that same month, as well as a press tour in certain U.S. cities on October 14 and 21.  While  Kristen Stewart and  Robert Pattinson are expected to visit different locations- Pattinson in Australia and Stewart in Japan- they are supposed to meet again during a media session in Los Angeles the week of October 28th. A European tour including visits to England, Germany, and Spain on November 14 to 16 will have Kristen and Robert appear together as well. With this news comes a lot of speculation  whether the two actors will resume their off-screen romance.

Although the couple are very exclusive regarding the details on their relationship, Stewart stated her immediate regret for the affair with married Sanders after pictures of the two embracing intimately and in a car together surfaced.

"I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry," Stewart said.

Following her admittance to the affair, U-Haul trucks were also spotted outside Kristen and Robert's home in Los Angeles after Pattinson asked for her to leave. Now that rumors of reconciliation are evident, there is uncertainty whether the two are moving back in together, or if the romance is simply a promotional plan. 

More Than Just A Date

  September 11.

  Every morning on this very date I wake up with an array of emotions. I immediately recollect the memory of the September 11 terrorist attacks and pray for the families who lost their loved ones on that tragic morning eleven years ago. Following that, I contemplate on how life would've been for me if I was ever in a situation where I lost one of my own relatives or friends. In the end, I always feel grateful to still have those people here with me, I really do.

  It's customary to see coverage on the 9/11 aftermath every September 11. The tributes to not only the fallen victims, but the heroes that include firefighters and paramedics stir appreciation in my very being. I remember the immediate surge of patriotism that followed the intense footage of the World Trade Center crumbling, the remnants of one of the crashed planes in the rural Pennsylvania area, and the damage of the Pentagon in Virginia before the nation's very own eyes. Absolutely amazing this American pride was, and how I was a very part of it. 

  As many years pass, the significance of 9/11 continues to stand strong in the media and with most citizens. Although there are more recent stories to report, and other responsibilities to take care of, there is still an overwhelming wave of reflection. Numerous social networking posts commemorate the 2, 997 lives lost and ask the public to "Never Forget". On Twitter this morning, all of the top discussions included: "Never Forget", "September 11", "World Trade Center", "America".  My Facebook feed consisted of pictures of the Twin Towers and the American flag.

  It provides me immense hope that no matter how divided as a nation we may seem at times, especially with the upcoming presidential election in November, we as Americans can come together and continue to pour out honor and appreciation for our country. September 11 is more than just a date, it's our patriotic revival. I truly believe that we are the "Land of the Free" because we are the "Home of the Brave".
