Sacred Ground Memorial Ride

Today on the anniversary of 9/11, seventeen years ago, I decided to pay tribute to the anniversary by riding the Sacred Ground memorial track. My friend Crow joined me from High Rollers MC, and I rode on his new 9/11 memorial bike that he had created. This sim hosts several different memorials for various wars and battles fought, and pays tribute to many men and women that served. One of the things that I love about Second Life is how much it values veterans and soldiers. There are many that play this game that have served, and there are several sims like this one honouring them and their valour.

Personally, today not only hits me when I think about the tragedy that happened that day in New York, and watch the videos and remember the horror, but I also think about all of the lives that were changed since then - those of the families of the soldiers that have gone to war in Afghanistan and Iraq and other locations because of this incident. So many lives have been lost because of this one, single day in our history. Let us never forget the sacrifices made, let us never forget that when one suffers we all suffer, and let us never forget to hold close our loved ones and cherish each day we have with them.
