Cute picture of the kids holding candles. I’ve met this group and two if the girls actually called a grown man an asshole and yelled F-You. Nice huh?

It was a day of remembrance. Remembering where we were that day and when we were held in the safety of our families arms. Love that we share with each other.The Lives of others that were cut short and how important life really is.

I thought the ceremony was beautiful, and all the work put into in was well worth it. To the people who put it together, thank you for a job very well done. I thought the participation of the neighborhood boy scouts was very nice, but the girl scouts were dissapointing. The Band was awesome as usual, and the prayers from Fr. Farrell, Fr. Marc and Pastor were very healing.

Well, at least you had kids there. At Thursday at the K of C memorial in Williamsburg, I was one of the youngest people there – and I was born in the Truman administration!

I agree somewhat about the younger kids and I was even concerned about my own kids behavior and beforehand told them this wasn’t playtime, it was a serious event.

Although my kids were young at the time of 9/11, I feel it was really important for them to be there that night (and previous years) to have them try and understand the lasting effect that day had/has on all of us. Its a part of history I personally never want them to forget about.
