We, the entire country, were awakened by air raid sirens and a few minutes later by an ear-splitting continuous shriek on our phones. EXTREME ALERT!

I used to remember every terrorist attack, read about every victim. How can we do that when 1,200 were murdered in one day? 

I pray that technology will never again overshadow HUMINT—the invaluable resource that listens to the “heart,” senses the nuances of change in the enemy, in patients, and in ourselves.

It’s difficult not to compare. Not to imagine. Not to remember the words, “Never Again.” Yet here we are “Again” but this time we have an army. We have soldiers. And there they were.
