Never Forget?

Hello My Dear Friends. On this September 11th, as in years past, we reflect on the tragedy that befell this Country in 2001. You don't need me to tell you anything about that day. It was our generation's "moment". Like the assassination of President Kennedy or the bombing of Pearl Harbor, we know exactly where we were and what we were doing when it happened. We can close our eyes and see the images of that day as if it were yesterday. It will always be that way for us. We will Never Forget because we can't forget. Tragedy scars the soul and, like a tattoo, it will always be there. This day, of course, is far worse for those who lost their loved ones. 2977 people were killed that day, 2753 of them in New York. Over 1700 families who lost loved ones never received their remains. Hundreds more have died from diseases contracted during the clean up. Thousands of U.S. Military men and woman have died in the battles that have ensued since 2001. Never Forget? I don't believe I will.
