I think a better slogan for memorializing the 9\/11 disaster would be “Always Remember” rather than “Never Forget.” I think this is proof that priorities in this country are in the wrong place.<\/p>\n
Remember: the lives lost, the pain and the emptiness of hope at watching American symbols destroyed and the shining example of America’s greatest principles in the men and women who united in New York and D.C. to get America back on her feet. <\/p>\n
Remember: the world coming together to show support for the United States, even after mocking our election.<\/p>\n
Remember: an America before 9\/11, unafraid and willing to stand for freedom instead of vengeance.<\/p>\n
Remember: how terrorism can tear apart a country long after the attack, and how it makes fear into a political weapon.<\/p>\n
