An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
The Little Ones
On this 7th anniversary of the attack on our nation, we often tend to forget names. We remember some, but there are a few we tend to forget. This is a column from 12/21/01:
Littlest victims largely overlooked
Too young to comprehend evil, the Pokemon fan, the Tweety Bird lover, and the toddler who believed Mickey Mouse is real were assassinated by terrorists on Sept. 11. Three months later, the story of the eight child victims remains largely untold. Ranging in age from 2 to 11, they climbed aboard two thundering jetliners high on life, as only innocent children can be. Their last moments were filled with ghastly horror.
Over the last 7 years, we’ve learned a little more about those who died on 9/11. Some, like Todd Beamer, we have become quite familiar. Others, like these little ones, we don’t know very well.
Christine Lee Hanson, 2, Groton, Mass.
David Brandhorst, 3, Los Angeles, Calif.
Juliana McCourt, 4, New London, Conn.
Bernard Brown II, 11, Washington, D.C.
Asia Cottom, 11, Washington, D.C.
Rodney Dickens, 11, Washington, D.C.
Dana Falkenberg, 3, University Park, Md.
Zoe Falkenberg, 8, University Park, Md.
I’m hoping on the 7th anniversary of the worst day in our country’s history, we won’t ever forget any of those lost. These little ones, who were lent to us by the Almighty for just a short time, whose names we might not always remember, should always be in our hearts.

Thanks Kate. *sniff*
And the babies born after 9/11 whose fathers were killed. Michelle Malkin has a photo up again today.
