yesterday we went to campus (texas a&m) and discovered a group of students that put together this memorial.

it was really meaningful to us to see students doing something to bring everyone together. we have seen a lot of things happen to polarize one against the other. conservative versus liberal.  in a lot of ways we are different, but in a lot of ways, we are the same. we all experience the human condition.

they were passing out flags to everyone who passed by to plant in honor of fallen soldiers and those who suffered from the acts on september 11, 2001.

they did well to show honor and respect. i’m thankful for this. and i’m thankful for the sacrifices we as people are capable of making for each other. 

i’m remembering this today. and i’m thinking of everyone who has been affected by war. not just americans.
