Fellow Guilders,<br class="">

<br class="">

Nearly two decades later, I remember the traumas of 9/11, my friends in <br class="">

NYC & vicinity, and the subsequent madnesses.<br class="">

<br class="">

Many times the lives lost that day were killed in subsequent military <br class="">

operations. The fear of weapons-of-mass-destruction exists to this day, <br class="">

instead of peace. Some have learned lessons, others are still waving The <br class="">

Mighty Swift Sword to and fro.<br class="">

<br class="">

I hope you find peace on this day. My memories are still fresh of the <br class="">

traumas, but also of the rarefied moments, for a few weeks after the <br class="">

initial traumas, when we were One America. The current divisiveness <br class="">

means that the initial battle over the WTC, Pentagon, etc., still <br class="">

reverberate, its battle not yet over.<br class="">

<br class="">

So many are dead, so much subsequent damage done.<br class="">

<br class="">

Hugs to all,<br class="">

<br class="">
