We Must Remember

September 11 2001 is a day many of us will never forget.  It was a pivotal turning point in our shared history, much like the JFK assassination was for those of an earlier generation. But, since 17 years  have now gone by, this means students currently in high schools and even college have no memories of that day.  Perhaps that is a blessing, as the images are cruel and devastating. The tragedy and the resulting impacts changed daily life forever. We are divided by those who recall federal buildings lacking concrete barriers and airplane travel without pat-downs and those who have never known anything else.

But, we must NEVER forget the lives lost and changed on that fateful day.  Pause a moment in your busy lives to remember, pray,  or share a story.  A remembrance ceremony is scheduled for at City Hall this morning at 9 AM, followed by a gathering at the Fire Department on School Street.
