9/11 Thoughts
4 years ago
General
Wrote this about two years ago on the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. I think it's just as relevant now as it was back then.
A thought occurred to me over dinner. It's been 18 years since the terrible events of 9/11. That means that roughly a whole generation of children has grown up hearing about 9/11 but not being around or at least old enough to fully understand the impact of that day. Frankly I hope the wounds of 9/11 never heal, and this in a good way. A wound that heals is a wound that is soon completely forgotten, and we never, ever want our children, their children or their children's children to forget about the 3000+ innocents that were killed on that day or the hateful cowards that killed those innocents. We can only hope about this.
