Remember the heroes in our life, especially those we honor from the September 2001 tragedy. Join with other family, friends and neighbors today as we celebrate being Americans and the freedoms that we have. A Texan by birth and my husband a Virginian by birth with our family moved 5 years ago to Allendale, (Northern) NJ, only about 45 minutes from New York City. Last year on this date we became one nation under God, putting aside our differences and putting American flags outside our homes to wave proudly. The flags still adorn our homes, our cars, and our offices one year later as we continue to celebrate our lives. Many in our town and others in the NYC aurrounding area never came home last year. We have seen in person, read in newspapers, and shared in the community mouring up close. Today, the weather predicted a change - a cool front from the west bringing gusty winds and dropping the temperature from a high of 90 degrees the last few days to a high today of 75 degrees. At 9:15 a.m. this morning, the winds started and hopefully will shift the times as we as a nation with the winds behind us let the winds carry us into the future. Kay Kincheloe Warren
