Never forget.

For some, every day is 9/11. For others...they're too busy going to the mall.

Never forgive, never forget.

Only a few people even mentioned the date to me yesterday which I think is kind of surprising given the fact of how that day has changed all of our lives.

A thought that came to me yesterday while I was thinking about that Tuesday, along the same lines as the "where were you on Sept 11th" I was thinking about what will the next 10 years look like, and what will we have done for ourselves and others looking back.

Man I can remember my grandma talking about Pearl Harbor in the kitchen of her house and how she said it was just like yesterday. I know her and my grandfather accomplished a lot for their selves and others after that day..

It's not surprising, for that very reason. The date 9/11 will forever bring up those emotions felt the day the towers came down. Some of us didn't mention it, not because we've forgotten the date, but because we remember it too well.

Just my .02

Took some time off the wood cutting, and end of summer projects. Polished-dyed leather, shined brass. I went to the 9/11 memorial run by the American Legion and attended by our local Rep's of various agencies and such. They do one each year in the morning, and then a candle lighting in early evening. I went as a spectator, they did taps, followed by 21 gun salute, flag to half mast and then bagpipes.

I departed at the end of the bag pipes. You could have heard a pin drop, well if the clip clop had not sounded as we left.

Never forget.

Last summer, I was working at a boy scout camp in Maryland. One day, the "First Year Camper" director approached me, and mentioned this bit...

The 11-year old scouts had no idea what 9/11 is. :(

Thank you Sir.

That is really awesome! My uncle builds carriages and other horse-drawn trailers. He has a few Belgians for the heavy pulling. I really appreciate the picture you shared. Thank you
