It's terrible to think how many Americans have basically forgotten about 9-11. They've moved on and are back to complaining about the need for the raised security at the airports and such, almost like 9-11 never occurred. Personally, I think of it often, as a lot of us on this board do. I have ben flying a flag outside my house ever since that day, and will continue to for years to come. When we first put up the flag pole (an actual 20 foot flag pole) out in front of our house, no one thought naught of it. Now I can see questioning looks on people's faces as they drive down our cul-de-sac and see that flag pole with it's flag, illuminated day and night, flying high. Hopefully this anniversary will remind folks once more. And maybe they'll remember our military men and women who are still fighting to preserve our freedoms and are away from loved ones this fall.
What will I be doing this 9-11? Watching the news casts that will be remembering that fateful day, and writing to my husband, wishing he were here with me for this anniversary but understanding why he isn't. And I'm sure I'll shed a few tears once more, especially as I re-read the posts that we all shared with one another as we all came together from around the world to mourn that tragedy.
