Remembering July 7

Today marks the one year anniversary of the terrorist bombings in London that killed fifty-two people, and Britain is still reeling from the impact. At noon (GMT), the country observed a two-minute silence in honor of the victims, and Prime Minister Tony Blair noted that observance of the anniversary presented the opportunity for citizens “to offer comfort and support to those who lost loved ones or were injured on that terrible day.” May we always understand that remembrance is an essential part of the healing process. As one who spent four years in the UK and who has quite a few friends in the greater London area, I extend my greatest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to those who suffered a loss on that tragic morning.
