They have a smaller version of the Wall now that is portable. It came to our town 2 years ago. It is so moving to see. The name of one of the boys I went to school with was on it. It looks just like the original only not as big. It was a very emotional experience to see all the names. I hope they put the names of all who died on 9/11 on a memorial of some sort. They should never be forgotten. I will wear my flag pin tomorrow.

Thirty years after a heavy firefight, where he lost most of his buddies, my husband finally went with me to see that version on a Memorial Day a few years ago. It was very cathartic, and he finally let go of some long time grief. He found names he didn't know about in the area that held his guys names. Post Traumatic Shock is a very real and long lived thing. People all over the country and the world will need similar help in getting past the 9/11 memories.

I will be going home to NJ to participate in the Memorial Service at Ground Zero. We lost a family memeber on that day. And in my small north Jersey town of only 2,000, 33 children lost a parent. Please say a prayer for all of the lost, as well for all of the families that are still grieving their loss. This is tribute I posted a while back to our beloved Buff.

Some of you may remember I lost a family memeber on that day at the WTC. And I am SO proud to say that the amazing photo of the flag being raised was taken by a staff photographer from my hometown NJ newspaper,The Bergen Record. At the ceremony all of the names of the deceased will be recited by Mayor Gulliani. If you are listening or watching that day, his name is Martin Wohlforth. Here is his tribute as posted on a memorial website.

Sandra,
I never knew this, I'm so very sorry. I hope the cermony today help in the healing process. "Buff" sounded like a wonderful man.
Take care,
Kelly

Sandra, will be thinking about you today and pray that your family is healing. I remember people talking about the walk across the bridge - that was very emotional.
