Never forgotten.
I think the minute that we heard the news will always be frozen in time for
each of us.
You remember where you were, what you were doing, and who you were with.
Honor the victims and salute the first responders who ran towards that horrific
scene knowing the danger they faced.

In my corner of the world, living in our little country town of about 10k people,
we were given the opportunity to memorialize 9/11. A remnant of the towers is
now mounted in our town square, on display. One of the 'rules' was that
the twisted piece of steel must not be washed prior to installation, as it had
the DNA of lost souls on it. Chilling!

At the Planning and Zoning meeting to discuss the installation, one member, quite
choked up with emotion, quietly said that it needed lighting. All eyes turned
towards her. She continued, "the people had been in the darkness... I want
them to have light". The Mayor was the first to speak afterwards, and quietly
affirmed, "those souls would have light".

I did not know if I should write this, it can be cancelled. It hurts when people
are worried about pronouns when the US is at a crossroads that started with 9/11.
We have been, since 9/11, fighting for the basic freedoms of this country throughout
the world which has never been so close to becoming another Roman Empire at its
end. The world is dangerous right now and so dependent on the US for leadership.
I hope we will be the guiding light for the survival of freedom, but I am starting
to doubt, for the first time in my 76 years, we will survive. Hopefully all
the deaths and mutilations of Americans and our allies will not have been in
vain.
