Seeing her badge twisted and marred by the wreckage brings me to tears. I was in fourth grade when it happened, and I swear, every year the memory hurts more and more because I realize what we lost that day. Not only 3000 innocents and hundreds of the bravest among us... But our spirit as a nation.
We can never forget what was done to us - doubtlessly under the negligence of our leaders, if not their outright indifference - but more than that... We must remember the spirit we had. We must remember the hope and courage our culture once held, and we must fight to bring it back to life.
If we don't, everything heroes like Mrs. Smith and everybody between then and now gave up will be for naught.
Never forget what happened, and always remember those who gave their all so that we could carry on.
Yeah, the beaten up badge got me. I stopped what I was doing and thought about her family, who's last connection back to their loved one may have been that badge.

It is the sad, sad truth
They do indeed. And the media is in lock step with them in all they do

So sad...RIP, Officer Smith.
Never forget.
