I will not forget, not tomorrow or probably not ever. This morning I heard the version of “hero” on the radio with the soundbites mixed in of people on the street and politicians and I had to dry the tears from eyes. It’s been seven years and I still cry when I think too hard about it. I’m still mad and sad and in the immortal words of the 1980 Olympic Hockey coach, Herb Brooks,”You’ll take it to your f*&^ing grave.”
I don’t want to engage in a political or idealogical debate, that crap completely misses the point. There is a little more than an hour left on this anniversary, leave the demopulican garbage for another day and allow the rest of us to honor our fallen heroes for just this one day each year, please.
