In Memoriam ...

Today I make no jokes, poke no fun, and take no creative license. 

Today I remember the thousands who died seven years ago on September 11, at the Pentagon, the World Trade Center Towers, that sacred field in Pennsylvania, and in the four airplanes hijacked by a band of terrorist determined to bring jihad to the United States.

Today I remember the children left with only one parent, or no parents following the attacks, as well as the families who lost love ones. And today I remember the men and women sacrificing, fighting -- and dying -- in Afghanistan and Iraq ... and their families left at home.

May their lives not have been taken in vain. May we never forget.
