Please remember all who lost their lives. Alums and non-alums alike.

Fr. McFarland said a beautiful mass yesterday in the chapel at Regis High School in Manhattan for the 7 HC Alums and all others lost on 9/11. It was very well attended.
It really is hard to believe it has been 15 years. The length of time struck me yesterday when I attended an interfaith prayer service last evening in my small Westchester suburb, where we lost 10 people on 9/11. My little town has 5 houses of worship and not one clergy member was living in our town on 9/11. Similarly, only one member of our fire department is still working who also was working at that time. Members of this year's freshman class at Holy Cross will have no memory of that day as they were only three years old.

I visited the site when it was still a construction zone. In a way, that was a more stark reminder of the destruction.

View from my apartment in Long Island City last night. 15 years and it still gets me right in the gut when I stop to contemplate everything that we all went through that day and in the weeks to follow.  |

I remember driving down the West Side Hway on a glorious sunny day and seeing the Hudson shimmering in the sunlight and the palisades on the Jersey shore. And then seeing that huge hole in the ground. They violated us. They violated our beautiful Country.
