Two years ago I drove to Fort Snelling Cemetery to pay homage to the men and women who are buried there. I watched a very moving burial ceremony of a recently fallen serviceman and walked around to see the headstones in the newest section of the cemetery. I found Tom Burnett's headstone, who was on board Flight 93 on that fateful day and who was one of the passengers who attempted to take control of the airplane away from the hijackers after learning what was occurring in New York and Washington, D.C. Last night I watched an interview with his parents on one of the local television broadcasts.
Ten years does not wash away the sorrow.
