We Promised to Remember

On April 20, 1999, the world ended for Cassie Bernall, 17; Steven Curnow, 14; Corey DePooter, 17; Kelly Fleming, 16; Matthew Kechter, 16; Daniel Mauser, 15; Daniel Rohrbough, 15; William "Dave" Sanders, 47; Rachel Scott, 17; Isaiah Shoels, 18; John Tomlin, 16; Lauren Townsend, 18, and Kyle Velasquez, 16. 

And today all we do is shrug and sigh when the news of the casualties from the latest carnage reaches us on a near-daily basis.
