Abstract

The memories of a great tragedy linger here. And for all who knew loss here, life is not the same. The 184 whose lives were taken in this place -veterans and recruits, soldiers and civilians, husbands and wives, parents and children -left behind family and friends whose loss cannot be weighed. The murder of innocents cannot be explained, only endured. And though they died in tragedy, they did not die in vain. . . Their loss has moved a nation to action in a cause to defend other innocent lives across the world.
