In Honor

6 panels of the flag $1/panel, 2 grommets and 2 nails

of those who lost their lives 8 years ago. Divine was just a couple of weeks old and very colicky. I remember having just moved to Texas with this brand new baby, not knowing how to be a mother, not knowing this new city. We were at the grocery store just a few days after 9/11 when an older gentleman came up to us and our incessantly crying infant. "That," referring to the crying, "is a beautiful sound after all that has happened to this nation." May we remember those who gave their lives and pray for those willing to do so serving this country now.
