May we never forget what allows us the freedom to fall in love, follow the passions of our talents, or simply pursue our day-to-day interests in the great game of baseball for most or all of the year. The thousands of our brothers, sisters, parents, children, relatives, friends, and strangers who died in that grotesquely violent assault upon their own rights to enjoy those same freedoms back on September 11, 2001 should never be forgotten as a result.
The day those innocent victims of 911 ever are forgotten ~ is the day that all is lost for the rest of us.
God Bless America! ~ Remember 911!
