The RP: A Day of Remembrance

I wrote earlier that today is a today of celebration.

But perhaps it is even more a day of remembrance.  Let us never forget the thousands of Americans — of nearly ever race, creed and ethnicity — who perished on 9/11 because of Osama bin Laden’s conspiracy of mass murder.

Did you lose a friend or loved one?  Did someone you love narrowly escape death?

UPDATE:

A reader, Daniel Solzman, reminded me that today is the Jewish holiday, Yom Hashoah, the Day of Remembrance, the day on which we solemnly remember the 6 million Jews and millions of others who perished during the Holocaust.

And then my daughter, Emily, reminded me that yesterday was the 66th anniversary of the day on which the world learned that Hitler had died. (May 1, 1945.)

As my wife, Lisa, constantly preaches, there are no coincidences.
