I will never forget September 11th...what I was doing, how I felt, the reaction of people around me, the blue of the sky, the silence...I remembered with a heavy heart yesterday but going to the most beautiful church service. I don't think there was a dry eye in the place. It was a lovely service and pretty sure God was speaking to all of us. I thought and prayed for all of those that not only lost their lives but also those lives that were effected by all that occurred that day. I prayed for the children, the service men and women, the first responders...the list goes on and on. But I also must say...I was HIGHLY disappointed in all of those who did not bother to fly their flags at half mast. It really bothered me and can not fathom why/how this could happen. Every one claims they remember, they prayed, etc...but I saw only a handful of flags flown at half mast from my drive from outside of Quincy to Jacksonville. DISRESPECTFUL! I understand it was on a Sunday and some businesses were not open but it would not have hurt to go ahead and lower that flag on Friday before you left for the weekend. Not impressed with the lack of respect...BUT I will give props to those I did see...Passavant Hospital, Home Depot, McDonalds, Burger King and a resident on North Main. Hopefully the rest of America was not the same....
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
