Remembering 9/11

I just went out to my garage and got my flag out of the closet and stepped outside to put it in it's usual spot right outside the entrance to my house. As I did that, I looked around to my neighbors to see if anyone else had remembered to display their flags. Not yet, maybe they are still sleeping.

On that day, and for weeks afterwards, all my neighbors had flags displayed outside their homes. I remember driving through town and seeing people with flags affixed to their cars. But somehow, today, as I looked at the flag, I was left thinking that there must be something more I could do to pay tribute to those families that lost loved ones in the most terrible of ways. As I watch the images on television today, tears come to my eyes. It still evokes such a strong response in me that I wonder what those families must be feeling on such a tragic day of rememberance. I can't imagine. As I go through my day today, the victims of 9-11, their families, and those that risked their lives in the rescue effort will be heavy in my thoughts. Stay strong America, and never forget.
