Sept 11, 2006

Monday, Sept 11, 2006 is coming. People should remember to display the flag. Also, remember that, if capable of it, the flag should be displayed at half staff, in remembrance of those that perished 5 years ago. If unable to do that, an acceptable alternative is to attach a black ribbon, the same width as one of the stripes, and the same length as the flag, to the top of the staff.

Just today I was walking passed the UNM Air Force ROTC building and they were doing some sort of drill with raising the flag and a buggle. One of those moments where your heart puffs out with pride.

I'll be spending most of Monday in airports and on airplanes. I have a feeling the mood in the airports and on the planes will be a little different...

Bumping back up.

Remember to put your flag up today folks. Half staff if you can, with a black ribbon, the same width and length as a flag stripe attached at the top if you can't.

September Eleven
By Paul W. Smith

Suddenly and without warning
On a clear September morning,
America's face forever changed
And priorities painfully rearranged.

How can hate be so strong
Against so many who've done no wrong?
Towering infernos, it seemed surreal,
Then crashing down, concrete, glass and steel.

Thousands died and millions cry.
Heroes live and heroes die,
As smoke and ash would fill the sky.

Even now our hearts still grieve,
For captive sights which never leave.
The world it seems has always been
A place where evil seems to win.

But those who wait throughout the night
Must know that dawn will bring the light,
And we who trust in God above,
Must never cease to show His love.

I think the black ribbon is for flags that can't be flown at half staff.

You're right, Jackee. That's what I meant to write.

The Other Heros of 9/11/01

Today is a day of remembrance surrounding the tragedy of 9/11 – of the fallen and the heroes – let’s not forget the “other” heroes – those who went into the smoking rubble searching for life. Sometimes they saved lives, sometimes they came up empty handed, and sometimes they alerted to those for whom it was too late.

Let’s nor forget these heroes – the search and rescue dogs of 9/11http://dogsinthenews.com/issues/0109/articles/010915a.htm
