Since the beginning of time, our world has been gripped by tragedy and devastation. We have watched destruction unfold as the tsunami, the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and the war in Iraq shook our nation to the core. All of these events have left a scar on the face of humanity and an emptiness in our hearts.
On December 26, 2004, the hopes, dreams and lives of many were washed away in the Indian Ocean tsunami.
