This morning was the dedication of the 9/11 memorial here in Havelock.
I went to see David perform and although it was a long event (might of just felt like it for me because of my crabby kid) I am very glad I went. In the middle of the memorial is a piece of steal from one of the World Trade Centers. This memorial has been built in Havelock because of our military community. Many of the people who work or have worked in this town and on MCAS Cherry Point have been to Iraq or Afghanistan following the attacks on 9/11. This beam is in remembrance of the men and women who lost their lives. Not just the lives lost on that day but also the lives lost overseas where people are sacrificing their time and safety in hopes of making America a better and safer place.
...and there were bag pipes...
and police officers
and Uncle Rich
and Daddyman.
