Remembered And Forgotten

Date September 11, 2007

Remembered

Today Internet and the “blogosphere” in particular are filled with 9/11 remembrance post. Leading news stations across the country featuring memorials in NYC, Washington DC and fields of Pennsylvania. Some bloggers tend to speculate how 9/11 had divided us into 9/10 and 9/12 people. Remembering this tragic event helps us to heal, to remind us for what this nation stands stood for in the past. The 9/11 tragedy was enormous and we cannot forget the sacrifice of regular man and women who became heroes in the span of an hour.

But we have…

Forgotten!

One day a year is a heavy burden, yet our nation is bound to morn 356 days year over the lost lives of much bigger magnitude. No one remembers them except God. No one reads their namesa. No one brings flowers….. We prefer not to stand in the way of a “woman’s choice” and tell what she should do with her “own body”. The result? 4,000 lives are lost daily to abortion in this country. Their lives are snatched before they ever can experience the crisp mornings, translucent blue skies or golden-green leaves.

We may fight all wars we can trying to prevent another 9/11. We are losing a battle of major proportions at home. We are loosing it every 2.5 seconds 4000 times each day.
