I know we have some New Yorkers here, and I'm sure others will be doing tributes as well. Can everyone post your 9-11 tribute/rememberance photos with tribute-911 so we can browse the tag to see them all?
*I just checked and there are a lot of photos with the tag, so it seems we've done this before :)
here's mine. drove by the local elementary school today, and saw the flag was at half mast. it's not even usually up on weekends. it looked so lonely there at the empty school yard, but someone had thought to put it up and then lower it, on a sunday.
@sam_cr Thank you very much! The mobile lighting company that kept the attack site lit for weeks after the attack is from my community. They graciously displayed this flag on the arm of one of their lighting trucks. It was a very moving sight to see.
This photo is entitled "Hope Is Rising", taken from a song by the group Downhere. The final words of the song are: From the sorrow, from the fear, from the loss, and from the tears, from the darkness, from the pain, from the fall and from the grave, hope is rising.
9-11-2001, We will never forget.
Went to the NYS Museum by my house today and I couldn't choose one so I decided to do a collage. If you go to the picture, I explained what each one was
10 years ago today I was going to the home of a co-worker who worked from home. I'd started a new job the previous week and she was my preceptor. It was a gorgeously sunny day, I was getting ready to go, and I heard Katie Couric on the Today Show say something about a plane flying too low over Manhattan. Somehow I got through the day at my preceptor's home office. When I returned to the office, they had news radio on and everyone looked stunned and shaken. It was a hard day.
There are stars whose light only reaches the earth long after they have fallen apart. There are people whose remembrance gives light in this world, long after they have passed away. This light shines in our darkest nights on the road we must follow.
New Yorker by birth, born on September 11. Here is my tribute photo for 9-11, remembering those lost on that day, in New York, Washington D. C. and Pennsylvania.
@kmwilliams Beautiful Kate! Lets not forget the many animal lives that were lost that day and in the ensuing weeks as animal carers did not return to their apartments :-(
This is from the halftime tribute of the JETS - COWBOYS game I attended this past Sunday...
I remember 9/11/2011 as it was yesterday. Seeing the second plane flying into the World Trade Center from my office window, not being able to get home that night, the "smell" that lasted for days, the sacrifice that many men and women went through is not something I will ever forget.
This tribute is a symbol of our strength as a people, that others may try to harm us, and while we may bend, we will NEVER break...
For all those that lost someone that day, this is for you.....
Tweets ahoy!
