Sir,
Your post summizes the reason for this thread's beginning. Images are now, thanks to the Internet, only a click away.
However, I remember only reading and seeing photos of events such as Pearl Harbor, and the Nazi camps in textbooks as a child. The weight of those events to me personally was different at the time, due to my age and knowledge of world events, but I did know that they were both horrific, and that real evil did exist in the world, after seeing them.
I will not post the picture, (it can be googled), but the image of firefighter Chris Fields holding the dying infant Baylee Almon on April 19, 1995, after the OKC bombing comes to mind as another example that terrorism is alive and well here inside our own borders. This
reminder is heart-wrenching to look at, but serves a purpose, IMVHO.
Interesting thoughts made by all.
Holly
