I was truly shocked and in disbelief that nothing was mentioned about 9/11 in [last Friday’s Kirkland Reporter] paper about the most tragic event that happened in recent US history. Instead, the paper ran an editorial about a pirate ship docked in Kirkland?!

The ‘Dust Lady’ from the holocaust Sept. 11 bombings, Marcy Borders, just died from cancer this Aug. 26. Wake up Kirkland Reporter and get on with the times. There have been other horrendous terrorist attacks since then, including the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15, 2013 that resulted in more deaths and lifelong injuries. Sept. 11, 2001 should always be on our minds so that as we commemorate the tragic event and victims we are also reminded of the horror of evil and constantly be on the alert for our safety, and those around us.
