Quote: An unkown lady at ground zero
Over the weekend, my husband and I went into NYC. Just walking around, we found that we
had ended up by Ground Zero. The memories of Sept. 11th came rushing back, and the atmosphere was still so solemn. Many people sitting on steps across the way just gazing and thinking.
One man, in his way, trying to have people remember that day and all that was lost was showing photos. I heard one lady tell him "I don't need your photos to remember what I lost." She said this with tears in her eyes, my husband went up to see if the man was bothering her and to see if she needed assistance in getting him to leave her alone. She smiled and told us "No thank you, I am fine, just remembering." She then thanked my husband for his help, and told him she could tell he was in the service and asked that he pass the word to his comrades in arms that she thanked them for their service and for remembering. She then said, as she was moving away, "In remembering, we honor those we lost." We weren't able to get her name, but her statement, and the solemn way she said it, stuck in my mind. So this layout is for those that were lost (though I can not see any layout doing there memory justice).
I too thank all those that serve and have served. I am proud of each and every serviceman and woman for the bravery that they show each and everyday.
