God bless the families affected by this tragedy. I know a few that didn't come home that day.

Shortly after 9/11/01 you couldn't buy a flag anywhere because they were all sold out.  But, you could borrow one.  A friend and I were driving from Little Rock to Atlanta in a car Hertz gave us at no charge to return there.  The airlines were grounded.  We had a Ray Charles' CD in the player and it had just finished his gorgeous version of "America" as we came over the top of a hill and under a bridge where a grizzled old gentleman was avidly waving a big American flag he'd likely borrowed from a school or his church.  People were waving and horns were honking and headlights flashing.  Do you remember those days?  God, bless America.

My youngest daughter was in school at NYU when that happened... She saw the second attack.

I'm sorry, I don't know what a USPS cover is.  Is it US Postal Service?  But I don't understand the "cover" part.

Agreed Hub!  We as a country most definitely did "forget" far too quickly.

We have a statue of that moment.



I went to the Museum of The Marine Corps today because they have a 911 section.

A Beam from one of the Trade Centers


I prayed there for a long time. I could here people walking around me but I just kept praying.


A Piece from the Pentagon


Another look at the Beam

If anyone has the opportunity to visit NYC, please make sure you visit the WTC site.  The memorial / reflecting ponds are very moving and a great reminder of those that paid the ultimate sacrifice.  I will NEVER forget my fallen brothers & sisters.
