Friday to Remember

Today I'd like to pay tribute to everyone who was affected by the terrorist attacks of 9/11

Image Credit

This flag is the memorial flag that will be flown both at the memorial and at the state capital. The stars represent the people on the United flight 93, the the five sided figure represents the pentagon and at the center the Twin Towers represent the many lives lost.

In a time where uncertainty has put a black cloud over us we need to remember that as human beings we are capable of great things and that we have to strive always to do good not just for us but for others as well.

May you have a fantastic weekend!!!

PS... will post the week's links over the weekend!

    This is the first time I've seen the flag. What does the NYS stand for?

    I can't believe it's been 10 years already. I still remember exactly where I was when it happened...as I'm sure everyone does.

    Thanks for posting this. I was already in tears this morning watching the TV coverage. It brings you right back to that day. The nice thing is that my bedroom window which used to have a gorgeous view of the towers now has a view of the Freedom Tower. It's been nice to see it go up. Finally something is rising from there.

    Have a great weekend, sweetie! xoxo

    I'll never forget that day, I was a Junior in Undergrad working out at the gym and remember seeing that airplane flying straight through the twin towers. Our nation has never been the same since then, and while it has been a decade, it still feels like it was yesterday.

    So glad you put that tribute up. So many friends and I have that moment marked indelibly in our memories. We were NYers at that time and it felt like a collective, traumatic experience we all went through together.
