great post, shows the intensity of what that day did to us all. i think pretty much all of america was taken aback that morning and the folowing days. this is not political as the tragedy did not know party bounds but affected people in all political groups. in remembrance of the people killed in this disaster, incl people in the buildings,planes,pentagon.rescuers and all others who were killed or injured, along with there families. this symbolism along with the flags in the households across the country is all a tribute to them. let us not forget!!!
