Never Forget

Before I close out the New York chapter of our adventure, I need to share this somber but important post.

Today we visited the September 11th memorial at ground zero of the attack on the twin towers. It was an emotional reminder of a very dark time in our nation's history. The memorial brings it back to us with remnants of the towers, photos, art, recorded voices and more.

I believe remembering is important. Remembering the shock, the fear, the loss, the hopelessness and helplessness. But also remembering the courage, the sacrifice, the unity and the return to faith in God.

We've lost much of the unity we had then. Our shared purpose is all but gone.  We are slowly becoming a nation divided. In some cases fear has become hate. Faith is often ignored or even ridiculed.

We need to remember. We must never forget. No. Not. Ever.
