Seven years ago this morning over three thousand of our fellow citizens were murdered in the worst foreign attack ever on our soil.  These people were fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents, and friends to untold others.  Their passing seems forgotten amid high gas prices and election year politics.

Remember.

Remember where you were that morning.  Remember how it felt to watch the towers fall knowing they were full of brave and frightened people.  Remember the Pentagon where protectors of our freedom were slain at their desks.  Remember a cratered and scorched field in Pennsylvania where bold passengers made a defiant final stand.  Remember also the other two plane loads of men, women, and children used as guided missiles against each one of us.

Remember.

Remember the men and women at home and overseas toiling to protect us from an elusive enemy sworn to destroy us all.  Remember them, whether you agree with the policies of the government that sent them there or not because whether you agree or not these men and women are undeniably sacrificing their time, bodies, and lives for us.

Remember.

Remember and work tirelessly to bring peace to your corner of the world and forever extinguish a hatred, an inconceivable loathing spanning generations that leaves our world and all of us at war.

Remember.
