Unfortunately, way too many have forgotten...

You are so right. Even after all this time, I'm still hiccuping from crying so hard at that video again tonight! Back then, I remember thinking that I'd never get over it. I was right -- I never got over it, but I do learn how to deal with it somehow.

I can't even imagine what viewing that video has done to you. It has made it all so vivid again for me and I wasn't there. God bless you and keep you as you continue to learn to deal with this horror .... you and all the others for whom it is so very personal.

But as painful as it is for those of you who were there .... or who lost loved ones .... I think it is essential for our nation that the horrific scenes and sounds and sights remain in the public eye.

Too many people have done too good a job of going about their lives, forgetting the utter horror of that day .... the shock, the outrage, the fear, the determination that the cowards would not succeed in bringing us to our knees. I fully agreed when the networks quit playing the videos over and over and over .... we were becoming numbed to them. But now I think they should be shown monthly ... or at least every 2-3 months ... so that America NEVER FORGETS!

We owe it to those of you who lived through that hell ... and those who didn't survive it ... to retain our anger and our sense of purpose as we seek out and destroy those so evil as to do such a barbaric thing.
