500
071 dead
that's more americans who have died in
one year in this pandemic
than in world war one war
ii and the vietnam war combined
the people we lost were extraordinary
they spanned generations
born in america immigrated to america
but just like that
so many of them took their final breath
alone in america
as a nation we can't accept such a cruel
fate
while we've been fighting this pandemic
for so long
we have to resist becoming numb to the
sorrow
we have to resist viewing each life
as a as a statistic or a blur
or on the news it's not
democrats republicans who are dying from
the virus
it's our fellow americans it's our
neighbors our friends
our mothers our fathers our sons our
daughters
husbands wives
we have to fight this together as one
people
as the united states of america this
nation will smile again
this nation will know sunny days again
this nation will know joy again
and as we do we'll remember each person
we've lost
the lives they lived the loved ones they
left behind
we will get through this i promise you
