Remembering (Score:2)
To me, remembering is how I honor those who died. Their lives were lost suddenly, horribly. On Sep. 12 last year, I saw a picture of someone falling to their death from the towers, and I thought, "That was the last seconds of that person's life. No one will ever hear from them again. I will never personally get the chance to meet them. They lived, had friends and/or family, had a life that meant something, and now are dead." I resolved that those people would not be forgotten.
I understand we all have very different reactions to this. Some of us would like to completely forget everything. Most of us would like to move on. In all that, I take today as a time to remember, to preserve the memory of those lost, and the horrible events that shook this nation.

I know. I'm not worried you will forget. I'm not worried anyone else will forget, or that I'll forget. I'm just explicitly remembering.

I've always thought it's more important to focus on what's ahead than what's past, especially in a situation like this. I like to think that the best way to honor the dead is to continue living.
Good thing I don't watch the news, I guess...
