The American Flag

ByMaria

The American Flag is flying half mast today because today is the day of Remembrance of what happened 10 years ago in New York. It seems only yesterday. I was watching it on TV when it happened and I thought it was just a movie where we are being attacked by Aliens or Terrorists. And then I suddenly realized that it is actually happening. All I can think of is how lucky we are because we’re not there, but at the same time I was praying for all the people that were victims and all their families who would miss them dearly. I can imagine how sorrowful it is to lose a loved one. Ten years had past and I hope the families of the victims of that tragedy find closure and healing.
