Remembering 9/11

Thought for the day

The following letter was published in the New York Times on the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Borrowing from FDR, it’s a day which will live in infamy.

To the Editor:

First, there was the eternal flame at President John F. Kennedy’s gravesite in Arlington National Cemetery. Now it’s the endless cascade of water at the 9/11 Memorial pools in New York City.

To this sixty-something father of three, both are heartbreaking; both are forever.
