It is hard to believe seven years have passed since the fateful day when so many innocent Americans lost their lives. I remember every vivid detail of that day like it happened a few hours ago. I just got done writing my yearly email to an ex-coworker who I spent 5 hours in a car with as we left New Jersey late that morning to head back to New England. What will always stand out in my memory is how quickly (a matter of hours) American flags were draped over every single highway overpass on that ride home.
We recently had an exchange student from France staying with us and when I was driving her to our home from the airport we were talking about general differences between our countries. I asked her to tell me the first thing she noticed that she did not expect to see here in America (in the 60 minute ride from the airport); and her response was… “all of the flags”.
Never forget the sacrifices made on that day..nor forget the sacrifices of the thousands of other Americans and their families in the days, months and years that followed.
