A Dark Day

We're not big on political statements here at farlieonfootie (okay, maybe we are, but that's in our spare time and not on the blog), and we don't think this will qualify, either.  But even if it does, there is no way we will ever forget a moment, eleven years ago today, which is still chillingly fresh in our collective memory, still disturbingly close at times, and something we will never forget: when the civilized world was attacked by those wishing to destroy our very freedom, loves and lives.

The victims of September 11th will always be remembered here.  May God bless them all, now and forever.

Never Forget

Let us pause for a brief moment today and remember those brave souls who lost their lives in an horrific attack on the civilized world that was carried out by cold blooded terrorists.  May the thousands who lost their lives that day -- or in the dark days that followed -- rest in peace, and may God's eternal grace be granted to all of them and their families.  We will never forget your sacrifice.

This is a profoundly sorrowful farlieonfootie remembering a tragic loss ten years ago today, on September 11, 2001.
