We were on our way to the mall to get the kids some new shoes and came upon the 9/11 Memorial. We had to stop and get out. It was so amazing to see all those flags and yet sad because of what they represent. What a great history lesson for the kids.
Here they are walking hand in hand through the flags. I love this picture just looking at it I can't even put into words all the emotion I feel. We all were in awe, such a humbling experience.
Jay listened so intently as Joe explained to him what had happened and why the flags were out. Jay didn't say much after that, he just walked slowly through the flags looking at them. I know he knew just exactly what Joe was talking about and understood a little bit.
I hope this will be one of those memories that the kids will remember always. I also hope that when ever they look up and see our flag waving it's colors proudly they will remember those who risk everything, make sacrifices, and even gave their lives for our country and freedom. It was and incredible experience I will always remember.
