Never to Be Forgotten

Never to Be Forgotten, originally uploaded by Stephanie A. Richer.

On this day, put aside the politics and remember the families of those whose loved ones perished. Where is their memorial site? Will it always remain a piece of paper, protected by a plastic sleeve, that one church still allows them to put up?

In my Catholic faith, one of the corporal acts of mercy is to bury the dead. This is why we visit our loved ones gravesites and tend to them. Consider the fact that many of these people have no gravesite, that there was nothing left to bury.
