"Our flag honors those who have fought to protect it, and is a reminder of the sacrifice of our nation's founders and heroes. As the ultimate icon of America's storied history, the Stars and Stripes represents the very best of this nation."
How blessed each day, are we to be Americans...
To be a part of such a beautiful country, rich with culture and history; prosperous, brave, and filled with such insurmountable compassion.
Thirteen years later we gather together- online, on the city streets and corners, across the world - and we remember. We pray. We commemorate.
We continue to carry the innocent lives lost in our hearts. We are reminded daily and inspired to honor their memory.
Today, we offer our thoughts and prayers to the families, the survivors, the volunteers and the countrymen who came together and pulled our country up from one of the darkest times in our history.
May God continue to bless America.

Thanks for the post. For those who lost some on that day, it's wonderful to see that others see that others remember too.

Every year at this time I remember being in Washington at Dulles Airport, sitting on a plane waiting to take off for San Francisco and hearing the captain say that there had been an incident and we needed to go back to the terminal, get off the plane, get our bags and get out of the airport.
As we got off the plane we saw the tv screen. Horrid, horrid day which nobody will ever forget.
