Pentagon Memorial
Dale is home today because of the dedication of the Pentagon Memorial created to honor the victims of 9-11. There are so many people attending the dedication that they told those who work at the Pentagon to stay home today. Every September 11th, I feel a great sadness for all those who lost someone they love and I pray that the Holy Spirit will comfort them. I think the government has renamed 9-1l: Patriot Day. The kids are supposed to wear red, white, and blue to school. I understand that view, but for me, 9-11 will always be a day of remembrance and mourning.
This new one was featured on the Pentagon Channel the past few days. It is stunning. Recently my sister told me she has a goal of taking her daughter to Washington even if she has to do so in a scooter. (she is walking poorly due to MS) With this newest memorial, it will be excellent reason for me to take them to see it.
