At my old school, every year they would have a "Wall of Remembrance" on Memorial Day to honor thoose that we lost while they were fighting for us. We get sheets to fill out puttin names of thoose in the war, and Mr. George, the Shop teacher, creates the wall hand printing each and every name. The day of the memorial, they sell carnations and after all of the speeches, the drill people and all, Whomever bought a carnation walks up there and puts it by a name they put up there. It's a very teary-eyed event. And last year there were many people from 9-11 honored on the wall, Even if they were still alive... we put them up there if they had any part to do with it.
