Smithsonian Saga goes Cyber
I don't remember anything of September, 11, 2001. I was only 3 years old. Yesterday, September 11, 2011, I was amazed at the American patriotism. There was a flag for every person who lost their life in the tragedy. I've never seen anything like it in Canada. The names of all the victims were on the Flag of Honour, and the names of all the first responders who died were on the Flag of Heros.
I have read that the death of a million is a statistic, but the death of one is a tragedy. The deaths of those on September 11th have never been a statistic to the Americans. To me it was a statistic - until today.

Grama-Belle That was a deep perspective Eli. I am proud of you. So glad you were able to walk among those flags. I would have loved doing that my self but knew it would be too much for this old lady.
