Never Forget

It is a day of remembrance for many, a day in which we collectively recall the horror broadcast in real time.  It is a day in which we recall the selflessness of so many who walked upward while others passed on the way down.  It is a time to recall the shortened lives of innocents, and those left to ponder the inequity of it all.  It is a day to once again recall the grandeur of our civilization and the threat it poses to those who would shackle the human heart and spirit slavishly to words uttered in a cave fourteen centuries ago.  It is a day to remember how we came together in grief and horror, and it is a day to remember how we came together in righteous action to deal the aggressor great blows.  It is a day to remember a man with a bullhorn, growing before our very eyes, whose clarity of thought and action gave great comfort to a wounded nation.  It is a day to remember that we shall never forget.
