Remembering 9/11

I took a little 30 mile cruise today and came upon this Memorial down at the lake.

"Mission: 343"




It's hard to see in this pic, but each flag has a fallen firefighter's or emergency responder's name attached to it.




Here's some media coverage of the Memorial...

As I was working my way home I stumbled upon another Memorial in the Town of Greece.

Smaller flags but the same big message...






Now I'm working all day Saturday and Sunday so I'll miss the several services being held, but I will be proudly displaying Old Glory.



There must be thousands of these memorials across the country. Has anyone else visited some?
