Everyone remembers where they were

21-second video: September 5th is a hot day. Why? Because the glorious breeze the past two days is gone.

Never forget.

American post 9/11 mantra.

Less than a week from the 22nd year since 9/11.

Cheryl has always hung decorative flags outside our garage.

In the early years at our home, the landscaping was a baby.

The flags were easily visible from the road and as you drove up our driveway. About 15 years ago the shrubs became small trees and rendered the flag invisible to the neighbors.

In the Fall Cheryl hung a pumpkin flag. Thanksgiving , a turkey. Christmas, Santa or a snowman. Valentine’s Day, hearts. Easter, a Bunny. Memorial Day and July 4th, an American Flag.

She never made it back to the pumpkin flag.

We’ve always hung (only) an American Flag, since May 2001.

Remember that whole never-forget “promise”?
