I mourn the whole deal, because I understand the situation. This wasn’t some building. It was a symbol, a triumph of human construction, of France’s history. It is a 9/11 deal for them. A beautiful building that has been a sanctuary to millions of people over the years, and a part of a lot of people’s lives.

My mother is beset with grief right now. She served the Marines in her younger years and was stationed at the US embassy in France after her 8th year of service. She visited Notre Dame as a tourist several times and was hoping to visit it again, now she’s watching burn.

I think I know what you implied Rep, with your “flood gates” post. If I’m correct in my understanding of the post, I won’t push the subject. Honestly guys, this is the time to pray and/or hope, that the brave men and women on the scene can save what’s left of that magnificent structure. Hopefully they can save the stonework and rebuild it.
