History, the Present, the Future is very important. History needs to be recorded in books and on the internet. So that we can learn about it. So that it will never be forgotten.

Well said! So much blood 🩸 in the land, never mind repentance from the criminals, we need to pray for swift vengeance upon their heads and watch it happen, as they watched what happened to us!
