A Red, White and Blue Day!

I have been watching the 10-year memorial services for 9/11 all morning.  I listened to the events at the Pentagon broadcast on NPR while I walking along our Neely Farm River Park.  It is such a beautiful day here - it was such a beautiful day that day in 2001!  I was still working for the Federal government at the time and on a conference call with a colleague in Crystal City, Virginia.  Crystal City is right next to the Pentagon.  As we were talking, he commented about the appearance of a low plane through his window and a sudden crash.   The rest of the day was spent in a fog - trying to get word of friends and colleagues in Washington D.C. and NYC and also anxious about anyone we knew who was flying that day.   I did not personally know anyone lost but know so many people who do.   I was going to post some of my red, white and blue pieces but decided that words alone are better for this day!
