Eight years and 54 days (approximately). At that point, had we kept the flag at half-mast one day per victim (not counting the murderers -- I've never been able to figure out why some people insist on heaping the murderers together with the murdered in these tragedies), on November 4 of *this year* we would be able to restore the national flags to full-mast.
I wish we'd done that as a nation, instead of just in my heart.
