Thank You Your Majesty

On September 12, 2001, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II ordered her personal guard at Buckingham Palace (The Coldstream Guards) to play The Star Spangled Banner during the changing of the guard.

The American flag was carried that morning instead of the Union Jack.

Though the cities start to crumble, and the towers fall around us, the sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea. It is written from the desert, to the mountains they shall lead us. By the hand and by the heart, they will comfort you and me. In their innocence and trusting they will teach us to be free.

What a beautiful photo, Barry.

Today is the 12th, but the weather here in ND is the same as it was on 9/11 in Fredericksburg, Virginia (where I was living then): Clear blue skies and beautiful temperatures (mid-70s). I will never forget stepping out to the front stoop that day and trying to wrap my mind around the fact that such horror was happening on day with such lovely, tranquil weather. My ex-husband (we were still married then) was in DC that day but, thank God, got home safely. So many others did not.  :'(

February 15th, 2016

Footprint of one of the Twin Towers at the National September 11 Memorial


Just a few of the nearly 3,000 names at the Memorial


One World Trade Center


View of the Brooklyn Bridge from the One World Observatory at One World Trade Center


I also toured the museum and I can't even explain what that felt like. It was very difficult to view many of the artifacts there but my connection with the souls we lost that day became even stronger.

We were living in the DC suburbs that day. My last message from my then-husband, just after he told me that he could see the Pentagon burning, was that someone was running through the corridors of the USDA building shouting "Get out!" At home, our land line was down, no cell signal could be had, the Internet was completely frozen, and our cable was being installed. There were crazy rumors—that didn't seem that crazy on that day—going around: The National Mall is on fire! Car bomb exploded outside the State Department! Another plane is headed toward the Capitol! (There was a lot of confusion about Flight 93.) 

I was very concerned too, about my former coworkers; the publisher where I worked is located literally a stone's throw from the Capitol. I shudder to think what would have happened to them had Flight 93's target been reached and that target was indeed the Capitol (as opposed to the White House). So for that reason I will always be grateful to the Flight 93 passengers' bravery and heroism.

It was a nerve-wracking, stomach-churning morning. My ex did end up getting home safely, but so many people did not return home that day, including several from our immediate locale.  :'(

How far is the Dakota from there?  I am asking because I'm wondering how close John Lennon would have been to this event if he had still been alive at the time.

Well, Paul saw the smoke coming from the WTC towers as he sat on a runway in NYC that morning.

As far as the Dakota's proximity to that area, I myself do not know.

Loco, John would have been able to see what happened from The Dakota which is about five miles north of where the Twin Towers stood.

I took this picture with my cell phone on 9-11-15 as I was driving home from the medical center in Manhattan where I'm on staff.  I was on The New Jersey Turnpike.

The 9/11 Tribute in Light will shine again tonight.

This Budweiser commercial was aired just once.  It's just as powerful today as it was twenty years ago.
