I was debating for a long time about whether or not to draw something for this day, but everything I wanted and needed to say about that day I said 10 years ago, so here they are:

Well, almost "everything."
I think also the reason I decided not to draw anything is because of some of the comments I got when I did these. To call them cynacal would be an understatement, they litteraly gave me heartburn just reading them, (and still do). I get it, you don't think we should dwell on that awful day, and some of you who were too young to remember, or hadn't been born yet don't want to be reminded of "History," but this happened, and everything since then is a result of "somebodies did something," as one polliticain put it. I get it. We did "move on" and got one with our lives, but "Remebering and Never Forgetting" is one thing, and quite another to pretened that it was somehow less than what it was, a horror beyond horror, and there are very few things worse that I can think of that would ever top this, There were a few close things, but nothing like that day. I hope you younglings never have to experiance something truly like this, ever.
Somehow, I'm not too confident about that.
I suppose what I'm trying to say is, if you have anything disrespectful to add, please be polite, and keep it to yourself this time.
There's probably more I want to say, especially about the past 2 weeks, but it's probably for the best if I just finish here.
For Our Loved and Honored Dead, God Bless.

Sadly, given the state of the world it is entirely likely that they will experience something as bad. What scares me is that it might be even worse, given how riled up and confident all the extremist views seem to be everywhere now.
