"Never forget" is right, at least till the perpetrators are brought to justice. And after that too, as a symbol of the presence of real evil in the world.

BA: The blasts happened a month before I got married and I had friends and colleagues who lost almost everything they had. I got married, life goes on right but several didnt make it to my wedding, and there was this foreboding gloom about it all. I dont think I'll forget *ever*
