Hard to believe it's been 25 years... and the State Department was going to ignore it completely, of course. My sister made them pay attention, and even got Condi to make a speech...
I am particularly impressed by the Washington Post article. Lebanese TV was there too. All in all, a very nice commemoration. We got to see people we haven't seen either since then, or at least for a long time, even Daddy's college roommate showed up.
