Further Rememberance

It is now almost midnight here. Just a few more hours until a nation observes one of its darkest aniversaries.
I realize that this is an exhausting-and none too lightly trodden--topic, and I have only a few more words to say on it. Many were the lives we lost on that sunny morning a year ago, and great the cost both in dollars and in grief. Laid asunder alongside those marvels of American architecture, put to rest shoulder to shoulder with the brave and the innocent among the slain, was the innocence of a nation. We, as a people, would do well never to forget what passed that day. But there are things yet greater that we must also hold firm in our minds in the days to come.
Lest we forget...
Peace, friends.
