Day 4...

It's getting easier and easier. And that makes me really happy. :)

So...

Google always makes their logo into a picture on holidays and random birthdays...but not today. And that makes me really mad. It's a silly little logo, and it shouldn't bug me so much, but it does. How can you not take today and remember the hundreds of lives lost and sacrificed on September 11th, 2001?

“Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children."
- President George W. Bush, November 11, 2001

Sad to see some people have already forgotten. I fervently hope and pray that we may always remember those whose lives were prematurely taken due to hatred toward others, and that we also may remember those who sacrificed their own lives to try and save the lives of those caught in the attack.

“Now, we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It’s a memory of tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. But not only of loss and mourning. It’s also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend–even a friend whose name it never knew. “
- President George W. Bush, December 11, 2001


God Bless America.
