I'll do what I do everyday. Pray. But on 9/11 I'll add in prayer that God just see to the hearts of those that still hurt, to be grateful for our Nation, and for His hedge of protection around our troops as they cut off the fingers of Lucifer and kill his minions of Islam.

"As long as I draw breath, I swear I will never forget the sight of two people holding hands, and leaping from 108 stories above the hard concrete sidewalks that I myself have walked, gawking skyward at one of the wonders of the world. I will not forget them. I will not forget their fall, the spin that finally tore their hands apart as they fell forever, forever down that quarter-mile. I will never stop wondering what they said to each other in that last moment, or their cries to each other as they launched themselves to their deaths, having watched their friends take the same leap a few moments before. I will never forget what an unimaginable hell that their cozy office, full of coffee mugs and pictures of grandchildren, had become in order for them to make that choice, with the ruins of their friends visible on the streets so far below them."

Thank you for that. We need to remember. It's so easy to want to forget the horror.

That's heartbreaking. Is that from a longer piece? Do you have a link for it?
