9-11 Memory

I arrived at the pier by the Quay and the flags are already displayed. . .
Before long, the flags are removed from their pedestals for the ceremony. . .
The fire department arrives in two trucks to participate in the ceremony. . . they remember their fellow firefighters who lost their lives on 9-11. . .
The moderator begins the program . . .
The flag ceremony is performed with representatives from the military and fire department. . .
The flags are posted again . . .
The Star Spangled Banner is sung . . .

A moment of silence . . .followed by the Tidewater barge blowing its horn as it passes the ceremony . . .

And the bell is rung. . .

The bagpipes play "Amazing Grace" . . .

The honor guard depart. . .

The Mayor speaks . . .
The fire department representative speaks . . .
A police representative speaks . . .
Another police officer speaks. . .
The Chaplain offers a closing prayer . . .
9-11 . . . we will never forget! God bless all those families who lost loved ones on that fatal day. I have an origami bird with the name of one who lost her life on 9-11 and I pray for her family each time I look at it. I will never forget them and the brave firefighters and others who tried to help rescue precious lives.

Apples to go?

I saw these yummy looking apples on my way to get photos at the Kiggins House Re-model. Don't they look inviting to pick?


In memory of those who lost their lives 7 years ago on this day, especially for Jean Roger, 24, whose family I have been thinking of and praying for these past 7 years.


This origami crane was given out at a paper craft store the week of the "first" September 11th. We were encouraged to remember someone who died this day by taking home a crane and praying for their family to have peace.
