Unfortunately the tragic attacks of Sept 11, 2001 occurred 5 months before. Expectedly, there was a great deal of fear as to whether there would be attacks on the 70,000 people who attended what is supposed to be peaceful games among the nations of our world. We had our military and Secret Service everywhere to protect everyone. The Olympiac stadium was almost directly across the street from the Veterans' hospital where I worked. amd there were Secret Service agents on the roof and covering every door. Since 9/11, I see every Olympics as a celebration of the peace that can exist. Last night in the Book of Mormon I read another of King Benjamin's great quotes: "Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that he has all wisdom and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprhend." (Mosiah 4:9) In 2002, the Olympics were in Salt Lake City, Utah. Unfortunately the tragic attacks of Sept 11, 2001 occurred 5 months before.
