sweet land of liberty


Tyeson has the honor of raising the Flag on this day of remembrance. While he was alive when the towers fell on this day 7 years ago, he has little memory of it. He was too small to know the impact that day had on our country. It was the first day of my generation that I can say I remember that day, what I was doing and where I was. I can now relate to the World War II times when Pearl Harbor was bombed and D-day. I feel so blessed to have been born an American; to have family that has and will continue to fight for her. I pray that my country will still be great for my children and that they will know the same freedoms I have known. And when they see Old Glory raised it will have the same impact of pride and sacrifice.
