In Memoriam: September 11

Six years ago, 2,974 people died on this day. Giving these people a number, however, does no justice. Each individual had a name, and maybe more importantly, had a story of a life, and thankfully that’s something, in the end, all of us have. Mostly, today, we’re hoping those stories pulse on in the memories of the living.

We’ll have more to say tomorrow, but today, we don’t really have a lot of words to write. Instead, we’ve got something else brief to hope for in the honor of those victims: a little less war, and yes, a little more peace.
