9-11 memorial statue in The Villages
This memorial stands in front of the fire station on Morse Blvd across from the Sarasota driving range. It is beautiful.

. thanks for the photo reminder. We're in that neighborhood often - will definitely stop and, no doubt tear up. 20 years - in some respects it seems like 5, but always have those visions. Hopefully this will be the last time we will need to create a memorial due to terrorism in our great country. But, unfortunately with recent matters in the Middle East... very concerned. sad. . .

Every Year
Every year, at this time, I have trouble sleeping. There are certain sights (obvious) and sounds that haunt me twenty years later. I remember afterwards, being down on the West Side Highway with the volunteers. The VAST majority of US citizens came together. Every car had a US flag attached to the window. There were lines of people que'd up to give blood. A short twenty years later and we are divided. The US Flag "triggers" some. Classrooms replace Old Glory with the LGBTQ+ flag. So very sad.

Thanks for the reminder…I am going to be there later today to donate blood. I will make a point to stop by.
By the way, there are still open slots for blood donations. |

Beautiful. Never forget those who gave all that day.
Let's just hope certain factions don't advocate tearing it down. |

And I hope we never have to build another memorial such as this one. |
