Six Years Later

Where were you when you saw this image for the first time? It has been six years, but I remember it like it was yesterday. I also remember how instantly united our country became, you couldn't go anywhere without seeing the American flag proudly displayed. I remember going to a baseball game shortly after the attacks, wondering if it was okay to have fun, wondering if it was safe to be in such a crowded, public place. When they sang the National Anthem there wasn't a dry eye in the stadium, it was amazing! I heard a report on the news last week that 20 percent of high school students couldn't remember the year that 9/11 occured. 20 percent? WOW! I hope that we all remember the significance of today and remember to fly our flags to honor those who have lost their loved ones.
