Ironworks Gaming Forum - View Single Post - A Memorial to the victims of Sept. 11, 2001

What I find most heartrending, is the story I heard on NPR this morning about how many of the families of the victims who died on 9/11 are not taking it well.

No big surprise, their lives had become Hell. Now every time on the News they show the planes hitting the World Trade Center, they feel the pain all over again. The memorials bring no closure but remeberance of the day their loved ones were murdered. It was a very sad tragedy, so much so that I have a hard time seeing any of it. I can only think of the loss of life and the wives, husbands and children who are left without the ones they love.

I will observe a moment of silence for the ones who have died, but more for the ones who continue to live with the pain of what is gone from their lives.

Never again should innocents suffer at the hands of so callous an enemy. Never again should anyone die for another's misguided cause.

Thank you for reading.

Mark
