9/11

I haven't made a large deal out of 9/11 in the past few years. Not that I haven't done something, I just haven't done a great deal of something(s).

This year is a bit different. With all the controversies and debates going on about health care and other issues, I feel the need more than ever to remember what happened and try to promote unity within the country. Divisiveness among us is what will ultimately kill this country. From within, not without.

W'ville got a piece of the WTC for a memorial being built to the firefighters and rescue workers here in town. It arrived today, and though I didn't get to go, I thought I'd pass on these pix. (I got them from here.)
