what robert kennedy understood, what dr. king understood, what all our great leaders have always understood, is that wisdom does not come from tragedy alone or from some sense of resignation in the fallibility of man. wisdom comes through the recognition that tragedies such as this are not inevitable, and that we possess the ability to act and to change, and to spare others the pain that drops upon our hearts. so in our grief, let us seek that grace. let us find that wisdom. and in doing so, let us truly honor these 12 american patriots. may god hold close the souls taken from us and grant them eternal peace. may he comfort and watch over these families. and may god grant us the strength and the wisdom to keep safe our united states of america.
