    • To those who rushed in when others rushed out, We will never forget. To those who sacrificed their lives in a cornfield so that others may live, We will never forget. To those thousands of innocent souls we lost simply because you went to work, We will never forget. To those who sifted through the rubble of our nation’s innocence, We will never forget. To those who answered our nation’s call to service and paid the ultimate price, We will never forget. As our nations slowly heals and becomes stronger because of you, We will never forget. God bless America ~Christina M. Roof 09/11/2012
