It was quite beautiful. Thank you! It is seven years now and I still cannot believe the sad disregard for life. I pray for healing of this world. God Bless us All! Marie John:

Just like December 7th, we Americans will remember every attack on our sovereignty.(And as an aside, the "reward of 76 virgins" bit in the Quoran is a fallacy, a misinterpretation spread by the hate-mongering zealots leading the terrorists. The actual reading of the Quoran is much like the Old Testament and parts of the New, very much more a peaceable book than the call for Jihad the extremists advocate.) No, we will never forget.

I am still in shock and it has been 7 years. I went to a ceremony at Battleship Cove in Massachusetts and while it was a nice simple ceremony with a 21 gun salute there were precious few attendees. I hear the sentiment "we will never forget" and fear it is only empty words.Folks, if we cannot see the tape of the terrible act of war foisted upon our country because it is "painful" and may upset some people we have already lost the battle. Complacency will lead to far worse. Some people say this is using 9/11 as a cudgel to batter opponents with. What kind of tripe is that? When we cannot be shown what we are fighting it just breaks my heart.We cannot forget - our very survival as a nation of freedom is at stake.John and Heidi, thank you for all you do and thank you for my sounding board.

We cannot forget – our very survival as a nation of freedom is at stake.

Today is a day to honor all those we lost, including my two long-time friends who were in the WTC that day. It's also a day to honor those who worked, and are working, to help the survivors and survive it themselves, especially the injured, their families, and the families of those who died.
