On this day ...


On this day a few years ago, the world stopped and started crying and then we got angry.

On this day, a few years ago I had to explain Terrorism to a 4 year old.

On this day many years ago I decided to take the middle name for my next child as Walker, in respect for George Walker Bush.

On this day many years ago, I am reminded of our complacency to live in FREEDOM.

On this day many years ago, we lost a relative in the Towers.

On this day many years ago, my children and I planted the last flag in the largest Healing Field in Findlay.

On this day, as with every year, I plant the Stars and Stripes, just for respect.
On this day, we stop and remember a few words,
"We will not falter, forgive or forget."

"Even grief recedes with time and grace. But our resolvemust not pass. Each
of us will remember what happened that day, and to whom it happened. We will
remember the moment the news came - where we were and what we were doing."
George W. Bush, September 20, 2001, Address to the Nation.
