It is masterpiece.
It hurts. I looked for the names of people I knew had acted heroically: Rescorla, Ganci and then I began reading the names of the others. It hurst
Never forget, never forgive. Specially when those people are proud of it and would gladly try tro repeat it. Never, never, never forget, never, never, never forgive.
Nous, Européens, s'associons au deuil des familles de disparus, victimes des attentats du 11 SEPTEMBRE 2 0 0 1.
Veuillez croire, en cette date commémorative, à la solidarité de notre continent pour poursuivre la lutte engagée contre le terrorisme aveugle et défendre avec acharnement la LIBERTE.
Vive les Etats-Unis d'Amérique !
If you are Able...
Save for them a place inside of you,
and save one backward glance when you are leaving
for the places they can no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say you loved them,
though you may or may not have always.
Take what they have left with their dying
and keep it with your own.
And in that time when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes you left behind.
Major Michael O'Donnell,

Your entry will be held for review before publication and may be rejected. Understand that I moderate as time permits, so publication will be delayed for a random thus unpredictable amount of time: between seconds to hours—or even days at worst.
Persona
An email address is required, but will not be published.
You cannot subscribe to notifications of follow-up comments.
You cannot set your own avatar, name and location: generic versions of these will be published with your comment.
You cannot contact members via private messages and access their public profiles.
Posting
Your comment cannot exceed 300 characters.
You can only write plain text. To create paragraphs, press Enter twice (while the textbox has the focus, otherwise pressing Enter will post the comment)
All HTML tags will be stripped upon posting your comment, as will anything that even remotely looks like a URL.
Hey now! The tags stripping & links munching little helpers (let's call them Muncher and Stripper and not mind how wrong that sounds) are ferocious. I bred them that way. If you receive a nasty validation error or half your comment vanishes, something has triggered them, and they answer with full aggression, not 'micro' ones. Try and reformulate your text to appease them (for instance, beware of copy/pasting from Word or another web page). Use the preview to confirm you pass by Muncher and Stripper unmolested (now that didn't sound any better)
Stripper (oh dear, oh dear) will put a ✂ in place of anything that looks like a link—and he has about half the subtlety of a bombing raid over Dresden. (but makes for it with twice the hostility) Do.use.the.preview, even if you don't think you've inserted a link, for he may disagree and he's not open to negotiation.
You cannot edit your entry once submitted. Use the preview before posting. Really.
