To help us Remember...

A group of volunteers here in St. L put together a very touching memorial to help us all remember those people who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001.

Its was really an amazing sight and put into real, hands-on meaning just how many people were affected that terrible day. 


This location is Art Hill in Forest Park and the large building is the St. Louis Art Museum. 

Each flag was numbered and labeled with the name of a person who died that day, a picture (if avail.), their age, where they worked, and where they died...in the Twin Towers, one of the 4 airplanes, or the Pentagon. 




Hearing all those flags wave was such an experience...very chilling reminder of what those people heard that day.  The shadows on the ground also made me think of the person who is no longer here on earth with their family.    

It was a wonderful honor to be there and celebrate those that lost their lives on 9.11.01.  I applaud those that had this idea...it was perfectly fitting.
