9/11
Do you remember where you were when you heard the news? 
It was one of the darkest days in our nation's history. George W. Bush, the sitting U.S. President during this tragedy said, "Today our Nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature. And we responded with the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could."


Perhaps Barbara Kingsolver, a novelist, sums it up the best: "When I look out the window, I exhale a prayer of thanks for the color green, for my children's safety, for the simple acts of faith like planting a garden that helped see us through another spring, another summer. And I inhale some kind of promise to protect my kids' hopes and good intentions we began with in this country. Freedom of speech, the protection of diversity -- these are the most important ingredients of American civil life and my own survival. If I ever took them for granted, I don't know."

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Attributed to George Santayana 1905. Used by Winston Churchill and worth repeating!
 

Never forget.
