‘Never Forget’. Every once in a while I see that somewhere – on a bumper, t-shirt, flyer, conservative website, etc. – and it always hits home. I assume it does for most Americans. We can recall the unfolding of events that day very clearly, from the morning onward. And as we begin to remember a certain eerie, quietness kicks in. It’s a highly emotional memory, and for that reason some choose not to go there. That’s understandable. I have complete respect for that sentiment. However, please understand that by remembering, you are honoring those people who were murdered so unexpectedly and so horribly that day. Simply putting it out of our minds does them an injustice, it devalues their existence. ‘Never Forget’, that’s what it means. That's why I put the photo in. It’s not a bad thing people. Remember that day and those people. Don’t be afraid to shed a tear for them. Let them know you understand what they went through, and that you haven’t given up the resolve to see justice. Don’t we owe them at lease that much?
I saw the movie a week after it’s been out and the theater was full. Thankfully I think that indicates those people who feel the movie is ‘propaganda’ are very few and far between. What’s that? Oh, yea, no really, there really are people who think that. What? Yes, they are Americans, and yes, they do claim to be human. What? Yes, yes, I know, it really happened, we were attacked. I know. Please don’t get me started about the Liberal Left, it’s too upsetting.
Where was I… Well as you may or may not know the movie focuses on two Port Authority police officers who become trapped in the tower when it collapses. It’s their (real) story. It was very good. I got a little choked up a time or two, but hey, when something happens to a friend, or family member, you listen to their story out of sympathy and respect. Think of it that way.
