We celebrate dates all the time or we refer back to dates, things that happen in our history. Last Friday, I was actually near Bedford, Pennsylvania, the site of the crash of Flight 93, and the talk was about the number of innocent lives that were lost that day. How could anybody plan an attack on the United States of America by using people who were flying to a destination in an airplane? They were totally innocent people who were maybe going to their job, maybe going back home, maybe going to celebrate something else, but the loss of life that day. We talk about the loss of life that day.
