2,976 balloons
were released today in memory of those who lost their lives on 9/11.
We went to the memorial service at West Boggs Park.
Listening to the bagpipes play
Watching the flag fly at half staff
Hearing the sharp ring of the gun shots
Seeing the salute of the guard
Feeling the beautiful breeze and warm sunshine
and Anticipating the release of the balloons
The sight of those ballons as they traveled up and away
mostly in a pack with a few strays was a powerful image.
What a great tribute to those fallen americans on 9/11.
So thankful for those who have faught for our continued freedom.
