Severed Ceremonies

Severed Ceremonies – Two separate events that seem somehow joined to me, a Yin: "There were nearly 400 of them—the air combat element of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit. They were among Marines dispatched to Afghanistan last fall to help hunt down terrorists. When they broke formation Friday, their loved ones charged them with gusto. Soon, the crowd was a sea of people embracing, kissing, and laughing in tearful reunion."

...and a Yang: "Survivors and families of victims of the Oklahoma City bombing marked 168 seconds of silence Friday—one tick of the clock for each person who died in the bombing exactly seven years ago."
