If this topic, prompted by that Amtrak chose 9/11 to resume a suspended service but has since set the resumption date back by two weeks, so be it.
There are those here, including one who may or may not choose to step up, that witnessed the first aircraft hitting North Tower 1.
While I was 800 miles away, but since all others in my family at the time resided in NY or area, I had one family member in harm's way, and another who was potentially.
So 9/11 is "personal of sorts", the flag will fly at my house come Monday.
My first memories of 9/11 was waking up to the radio blaring the news, then groggily watching the upstairs TV witnessing the second tower collapse.
I heard from the NBC Today show this morning that two more victims were identified and next of kin notified. I've found
a CNN article with more detail. 40% of victims still unidentified... and work continues to pick up the pieces.
For those who lived it, and for those who watched from afar, it is "personal of sorts." And I think having a flag flying is a good idea.
It would of been better flown from a train, though...
