10TH ANNIVERSARY - WE WILL NEVER FORGET


Sunday marks the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the United States. On that day, more than 3,000 children were left without one or more of their parents and 2,977 people died. As you wander around this weekend doing your daily routine, we love the idea of taking time out to stop at fire and police stations and thank them for doing what they do. In addition, if you happen to see a soldier in uniform, be sure to thank them and shake their hand. We will be doing so, as these first responders and protectors of all that is important to us are the heroes that stand ready to help us. Today and this weekend, as we thank the first responders, we will also pay tribute to the fallen heroes, their families and those we knew ourselves that were impacted by this tragic event. We will never forget. As we were looking around the web for this article over the past few days, we came across a quote from General Norman Schwarzkopf who was asked if he thought there was room for forgiveness toward the terrorists who attacked America. His answer was simple and something you would expect from a General of his stature - "I believe that forgiving them is God's function. Our job is simply to arrange the meeting."
