Never Forget!!

PLEASE MAKE THIS IMAGE YOUR FACEBOOK PROFILE PIC THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND TIL MONDAY MORNING

While SacMav.com is a news media aggregation site of collaborative and independent journalists and photojournalists, we are not main stream media. In most cases we do our dead level best to remain objective and unbiased. HOWEVER- in cases such as the people of Oak Park being wronged by a wayward city council calling it’s citizens “gutter” (Councilman Kevin McCarty) and “assholes” (Councilwoman Bonnie Pennell) we (at least I) won’t remain “unbiased”… I am an American and I am human.

Nor will SacMav.com remain unbiased on the happenings a decade ago when America was attacked.

In memory of the 9-11 attack on America and in honor of all the lives lost so tragically, this will remain our top post throughout this weekend, the 10 year anniversary of the day all of our lives changed.

We ask that you make the above image your Facebook profile pic til Monday morning.

*IMAGE: The above 9-11 graphic was not created by SacMav.com but captured in Facebook posts. Thank you to the person who did create it. Great job.
