The Color of The Sky

This morning I looked at the blue, sunny sky and of course I thought about the color of the sky on September 11th.  Today's sky isn't quite so blue yet, but I'll recognize it when it comes. 

Since then, I've referred to that particular shade of blue as a "September 11th sky"

That blue color made the terror attacks on September 11th seem so incongruous.  How could such horror occur on such a beautiful day?

That day showed that evil can happen at any time, no matter how gorgeous the surroundings.

22 years later, the 5 terrorists who planned the attack are still alive, unlike their nearly 3,000 innocent victims who suffered so unimaginably. It would be justice for the death penalty to finally be applied this year, so that the families -- and all Americans -- can have some small measure of peace.
