Remember and honor the brave souls who gave all
COMMENTARY

The most important thing I’ve changed is that I’ve stopped asking “why”. I have learned to accept that there just aren’t answers to every question. Instead of asking why, I have learned to remember and honor. To remember and honor: the heroes clearing debris until their whole bodies ached with pain; firemen and policemen who ran into burning buildings to save the people inside, while giving no thought to their heroism; flight crews who were the first ones to die because they stood in the way of madmen on a mission. We all remember a city and a country that circled its arms around each other and reached out to help and comfort one another no matter our differences of background, opinion, or beliefs. Those are things I hope we never forget.
