Never forget.

Seven years have passed since the suicide attacks on American soil claimed thousands of lives. On my way to work this morning, I saw men & women standing on an overpass with about ten American flags displayed all around them. A sign hung down for the traffic below to see. It said, "Some Gave All." It moved me to tears. I didn't know anyone that perished that day. The memory of those who lost their lives still grieves me. I can't imagine what kind of pain their loved ones are still experiencing. I'm sure it'll never go away completely. I remember where I was the morning the World Trade Center was hit. I was on the messdecks of the BHR. I had just finished breakfast, was talking to some friends, and was about to go and muster for our morning roll-call. We declared war and left for deployment a few short months later. This, in my own way, is to honor those who lost their lives, and who continue to fight for our freedoms.
