So as I got older, going to the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. was something I always wanted to do when I could fully appreciate it. On May 30th, I actually went. Angel and I spent at least three hours looking over everything and it was definitely one of the most humbling experiences of my life. I'd like to go back again and hopefully when I'm done next time I won't be so depressed.

11 days later at the same museum, a security guard was shot and killed when an anti-Semetic 88-year-old man opened fire just inside the Museum's doors. I heard this in passing at the time and thought it crazy that the same place I had learned so much history at had become the last stand for guard Stephen T. Johns.

I was just looking thru a friend's facebook pictures since I haven't went to bed yet and saw a picture of one of the signs outside stating "Think About What You Saw" and remembered the events of June 10th. I think in fairness to how much the Museum affected me that day and to Mr. Johns, it's only right that I post this news article recounting the events of that day. I can't sit here and be upset about Michael Jackson and not remember this man who I may have passed numerous times during my visit. May he rest in peace and may his family find some peace as well in his bravery.
