Last month a "Healing Fields" memorial exhibit in honor of the victims of the September 11 attacks was held in West Des Moines. Nearly 3,000 flags -- one of each person who lost his or her life -- were exhibited on the grounds of a local company. Each flag had a yellow ribbon attached listing the name of one of these individuals and where they were that day. The flags were sold to raise funds. Mom and I purchased four flags and took one with us to Arkansas recently to present to Wayne and Lana in honor of his service in Iraq. Here are some of the photos Mom took, including one of her with the bagpiper who played "Amazing Grace" in remembrance of those who died.

Momma told me about the flags, but seeing it is so much better. That must have been quite a sight! I'm so glad you took one to Lana and Wayne. I know it meant a lot to them.
