Empty Chair at Bush Speech Will Symbolize Sept. 11

An empty seat will symbolize losses from the Sept. 11 attacks when President Bush's delivers his State of the Union speech before Congress on Tuesday night.

The empty seat will be two rows behind first lady Laura Bush in the House of Representatives chamber where Bush gives his annual address.

The seat "symbolizes the empty place many Americans will always have at their tables and in their lives because of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001," the White House said.

What a beautiful gesture.
I pray that Perpetual Light shines on the souls of the 9/11 victims.
Never forget.
And pray that there are no more 9/11s again. Ever.
