September 11, 2007 - the 6th Anniversary


Today is the 6th Anniversary of 9-11, a day that many of us will never forget.



A very nice tribute called the Healing Field is being displayed at Tempe Town Lakes. Sarah, Hunter, Emmalee and I went and walked through the flags.


They also displayed the National Unity Flag which was designed by an Arizona gentleman. The Unity Flag includes flags of the fifty United States and six U.S. Districts. The Flag also includes a panel bearing the names of over 3,000 victims of 9/11. The center panel includes an image of our Statue of Liberty looking proudly toward the heavens. The border of the National Unity Flag is red, white and blue and reads: "3046 LOST.....290,000,000 UNITED". The flag is signed by all one hundred of our U.S. Senators.
Each American Flag has a yellow ribbon tied to it and on each yellow ribbon the name of someone who died on 9/11 is written. It is an incredible tribute to those who lost their life on that terrible day.

Thank you Sarah and Hunter for allowing us to join you!

Love always, Jill and family
