TO THEM , OUR PRAYERS GO OUT .
I DID HEAR A RUMOR TODAY WHICH I SOMEWHAT CHECKED OUT AND SO FAR IT WAS FALSE . ABOUT FELLOW AMERICANS SELLING/AUCTIONING WRECAGE PARTS ON A VERY LARGE WEBSITE . INSTEAD THERE WAS A HUGE AMOUNT OF MEMORIBILIA FOR THE COLUMBIA AS WELL AS CHALLENGER AT VERY INFLATED PRICES .
I GREIVE FOR THE FAMILEYS WHO ONE DAY MAY HEAR THIS RUMOR , I GREIVE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO FEEL THEY NEED THESE ITEMS TO RETAIN THIS MOMENT IN HISTORY FOR THEMSELVES . THEN AGAIN THERE ARE THOES WHO NEED IT TO SHOW OFF THERE PRIDE IN WHAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE DONE FOR, AND HAVE GIVEN TO US .
I STILL GRIEVE FOR THOSE LOST ON SEPTEMBER ELEVENTH .
FOR THOES WHO SEE THESE MOMENTS AS A WAY TO PROFIT , I FEEL SORRY FOR THEM , THEY JUST DON'T GET IT . YOU FIRST HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE SACRIFICE AND THE TRUE NATURE OF WHAT WAS LOST . I HOPE ONE DAY THE VALUE AND MEANING OF " THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE " WILL SINK INTO THERE MINDS AND HEARTS .
