I’m greatly troubled by the belief of some who think we must move on, that there is too much talk of 9/11 many years later. We have lost thousands of good people including 343 Firefighters who gave their lives to save the many. Not to mention the many first responders who have died and many who are dying from the effects of the attacks and many more will suffer and die in the future. A husband lost his wife, a father lost his son, a mother lost her daughter and friends lost friends. How does one forget? Future generations need to know what happen on that day of evil, for when we disregard history, we are doomed to repeat it.
May God bless America on another anniversary of 9/11 and mourn all the good people who have died and taken from our midst. Let’s keep the memory alive all year long so we don’t forget their sacrifice. Remember this too: Evil thrives when good people do nothing!
