In
the United States, Sept. 11 has become a day that haunts the nation of
the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Since the attacks, the day has
been called Patriot Day and serves as a day to remember those who lost their lives. The day was
passed by Congress on Oct. 25, 2001 and was signed into law by then
President George. W. Bush.
"Now,
we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It’s a memory of
tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. But not only of loss and
mourning. It’s also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love
that lays down its life for a friend–even a friend whose name it never
knew." -- President George W. Bush
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13
Have
you met Flavia? She is the star of these books by Alan Bradley. They
are a little bit of a mystery series, but oh so fun to read. This is the third book in the series.
Just a little bit of a sweet, and my cup of decaf tea to wash it all down.
I'm
starting to bring out my Fall china so this Johnson Brothers cup and
saucer seems quite appropriate for today. "Pomona" is the pattern.
