Never Forget
Eight years later, there's one memory of 9/11 that still haunts my dreams. I can't speak of it, but Cathryn Friar does at RightPundits, and sums up my feelings more eloquently than I could have today.
Desperate people jumped from all four sides of the north tower. They jumped alone, they jumped in pairs and they jumped in groups. They jumped holding hands.Nobody survived on the floors from which people jumped. Ultimately the jumpers, often called the day’s most public victims, chose not whether to die but how they would die. I am quite certain I would not have such courage.Click over and read more of this thoughtful piece on some of the most courageous of the 2996.

Never forget. Never forgive.
