I will never forget where I was, what I was doing and the feelings that rolled around inside of me when I first found out what was happening in New York City, and eventually around the country on that fall morning 11 years ago. We are lucky to live in an area where we have a Healing Field of flags to commemorate those who died in those disasters. It's actually the very first Healing Field which was inspiration for many more around the nation. Unfortunately this year the field was scaled down considerably; there used to be a flag representing each of the nearly 3,000 lives that were lost that day. Today they only displayed 400. Yet it was still inspiring.
May we never forget the meaning of the flag; how our country was based on a trust in God. May we always remember those who died in that senseless tragedy as well as those who have died saving our freedoms which we take for granted. And may that same God who helped our forefathers create this bounty that we call America bless and protect those that still sacrifice for our freedoms, as well as their families.
Thank you to all who have served our country! We can't thank you enough, but know that we wish we could try!!
