One of the saddest songs in our nation's musical lexicon. Such an awful event is beyond comprehension. Words truly do fail me each time I hear the song and see the photos of those beautiful girls killed by such abominable creatures. I will not call them human beings. And it's downright depressing to think that mindset still exists among so many of our populace.

Rest in peace, beautiful girls. We shall not forget!
