Do people really mean what they say?
To the editor:
I feel we all find out in life who our true friends are — all those ones are hard to find. Sure, we all might talk or have a conversation with people on a daily basis, but can you or we rely on those same people when you need help in someway or when the going gets rough? Not likely.
A lot of people are just downright two-faced people. They say words like, "How are you doing buddy?" and "You take care now." But when your back is turned, when you're not around them, they're two-faced people. This is just the way most people are, believe it or not. Stop pretending, people. OK?

Let us be the voices of 9/11
To the editor:
When the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, America was caught unaware. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's words would forever immortalize the moment as "a date which will live in infamy."
On Sept. 11, 2001, as Americans rose to once again breathe in the fresh air of freedom, none was conscious of al-Qaeda's vicious and bloody plot to use our own planes as weapons against the United States.
We can bury our dead after evil acts of war and terrorism, sweep up the debris and build memorials, but we cannot recover what was really lost. We will never have a full understanding of the gaps left in our world by ruthless terrorists taking the lives of so many innocent people.
For our fellow citizens, brave firefighters, heroic police officers and courageous paramedics, who can comprehend the void left once they were so callously taken from this earth? Minds full of the future, love of life, family and friends, all dreams destroyed with cruel acts perpetrated by heartless men. Thousands of voices suddenly silenced forever amongst the billowing black smoke and fires, with others wounded both physically and emotionally for the rest of their lives.
How can we grasp what our nation lost, when so many of our soldiers have been killed in battle while defending our freedom after the strikes of Sept. 11?
History can and will repeat itself if the costly lessons we learned from these assaults are not taken to heart. We can erect memorials for the victims, and we should in respect of every life taken, but we must also honor the fallen by our nation continuing to be diligent in protecting our homeland.
No matter if it is 10 years since this tragedy or 10,000 years, let us continue to ask God to bless our country and be the voices to keep alive the memory of those lost. Then, the generations to come will remember how precious and priceless each life lost really was.
