The foundational liberties of Western Civilization were shaken by the recent murders of journalists in France.
The abstracting community shares the grief and heartache of the families, friends, colleagues and fellow nationals of the victims.
We rise in solidarity with those who bend but refuse to break.
We steel ourselves with the conviction that freedom is never free and earned through the blood of those bravest amongst us.
Now, we pick up the pieces and face a new dawn.
We resolve to be better; to live better and love better than ever before.
Their legacy is our duty.
Their hope is the world we must build.
